Painted on cradled gesso panel a portrait of a fallen bough. One sign that one is living in an area of temperate rainforest, are plants living on plants. Mosses lichen and polypodies grow thickly on trees in our wet woodland and I find myself stroking the mossy trunks on my walks

So I’m having a tidy and I have a 1920s-1930s art deco Croc handbag for sale. Any offers? The inside is super tidy and although it’s lovely it doesn’t really fit in with farm life

#pupdare time to relax after completing the kill on the slipper. The Mrs says if I touch her trainers I’m toast. I like toast especially with peanut butter soooo trainers for pudding it is

I’m thinking #Heineken are possibly the worst cider producers in the UK today and anyone who buys their products supports this kind of business model

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I made a donkey from a 1930s pattern for my grandson but it’s all wrong. I followed the pattern to the letter but its head is far too small! Should I decapitate it and make a better head or just bin it?

In my garden, between the showers a white tailed bumblebee grabs her breakfast from an orchid. I used to sit on a tube train, travelling to college, in London, years ago, dreaming that one day I would live in a place like this and now I do. Some dreams are worth hanging on to.

Six minutes sitting by the pond just now recording the birds. The blackbird was singing so loudly that it woke up a tawny owl. Merlin App didn’t pick up the bullfinches I could hear or a distant raven. It’s still my favourite app and if you haven’t used it yet I would + it’s free
