These leaf handfuls are mesmerising. I hope there are more workshops next year. 🍃

It's hard to maintain optimism, but we still carry each other's hearts with us. I hope that in 2020, a community focus will be at the forefront of everything. Gif shows an excerpt Disney's Snow White movie, flying birds place a blanket to make her bed as she rests.

Hmm, James' disrespectful "palm reading" on @FirstDatesAU - disappointing, but it was an old episode anyway. Hey Channel 7, are you looking for faux realtors, too? #FirstDatesAU #palmistry

Clothing & accessories companies are e-mailing me about must-have trends for 2020 like I haven't been carefully cultivating my medieval fantasy Victorian vampire elf witch wardrobe over the last few years.

I'm grateful that it's rare for me to eat agar agar concoctions, remind me of pond eggs. #gratitude 🐸 Gif: Tiny speckled frog leaps on someone's hand in dappled sunlight. In #palmistry, their fingertips have interesting energy/air markings which impact how they receive info.

I feel like it’s surprising that there are so few fun vegan ice cream flavors. All the non-dairy ppl I know irl aren’t looking for rocky road, they want some lavender blueberry ice cream or pistachio vanilla swirl or earl grey and tea cookies.

How cute is this pink baby’s breath in my garden? I’m starting to suspect the garden I inherited from a 96 year old woman was planted as a cut flower garden. There’s so many desirables in the floristry industry!

We're hosting a palm reading workshop in Canberra on Sun 30 July, a relaxed afternoon of learning about possibilities in your palms. Make personal palmistry diagram notes, & create a custom hand portrait with photographer Earth Skin Heart. $155 Humanitix, we'd love to see you!

Hiking outside the UK can be one of the most powerful ways of understanding how naturally impoverished the British landscape is, particularly the high places and uplands. A thread following a trip to the Alps which vividly reminded me of what we're missing. 🧵

First experiment harvesting water lilies with a body board was only semi-successful. It didn’t hold me high enough above the water weeds and I wimped out. Next I’ll try to borrow the giant canoe from the family farm. But look at them, so beautiful! Yes I made a flower essence!
