Assembling my seasonal reading pile #winterreading #booklovers #winterlover

When your daughter buys you a Sheela na gig cookie cutter for Christmas you know you have done something right.

I am about 60% cream and 40% chocolate now. I couldn't even face a portion of Panettone bread and butter pudding (well not for another half hour anyway) #twixtmas

First visit of the year to the allotment. It is still pretty wet everywhere but managed to get the polytunnel cleared and mulched with well rotted compost and harvested a puny stalk of sprouts and some rather sad looking leeks. #growyourown #allotmentlife #veggrowing

One of the things I want to grow this year are Chrysanthemums. They are considered a bit old fashioned by some but I predict they are going to have a resurgence in popularity just like Dahlias have. Bought this cute little vintage book to lean more about them.

Destroyed by this film, beautiful but insanely sad, brilliant acting #AllOfUsStrangers

Just found a tub full of homemade comfrey plant food from last year! Oh man, the smell!

The UK is now divided into two groups. Those who saw the Northern lights last night and me.

Just seen a hedgehog in the garden #30dayswild

This shows what can be done in our cities and towns. RT if you’d like to see more healthy green spaces boosting biodiversity and providing a lifeline for pollinating insects like this fantastic wildflower meadow at King's College, Cambridge at Cambridge University. Let’s bring nature back 🐝

On holiday in East Sussex. Lots of wildflowers and a real attempt to leave fields to grow 'wild'. The cottage we are staying in has a beautiful wildflower area which should be absolutely buzzing with insects - instead it is strangely quiet. Very worrying. #wherearetheinsects

Tomorrow the struggle for a fairer, greener country will resume. But today? Rejoice. Just fucking rejoice.

RT if you think the Greens quadrupling their seats should have as much media attention as Reform!

I read a lot of Jilly Cooper in my formative years and absolutely loving the adaptation of #Rivals. RCB isn't as handsome as he should be but the rest of the casting is spot on. What a romp with a great soundtrack too!
