Got myself up at beyond-stupid-o’clock & now, a handful of sleepy hours later, I find myself back by the beautiful Mediterranean in wonderful Mahon! Wishing you an equally productive & happy day!

Good morning Thursday friends! Have some flowers!

Night night Blue Sky friends! Sleep tight & see you on the other side!

Woke, after a blessedly beautiful 8+ hours’ sleep, to a blue, blue sky and my corner of London looking like an ad campaign for autumn! Hope your day has an equally wonderful beginning, middle and ending! Happy Midweek morning!

Good morning autumnal angels! Wishing you the super-duperest of days!

Awoke to a chilly, but bright and blue-skied morning! A happy, hope-filled #AutumnEquinox to you! How this year has flown!

A stunningly perfect autumn’s morning on #HampsteadHeath

Sunday murder club!

Went to the Andy Goldsworthy retrospective & it feels full of ancient magic. Ended up having a long conversation with someone about the books of Rosemary Sutcliff which are imbued with the same deep sense of the past…

Good morning Sunday people! A happy, peaceful day to you!

Good morning beautiful early birds of the weekend! There’s a magpie chuckling away in the tree outside my window and it’s such a contagiously merry sound that I won’t believe it could possibly signify ‘one for sorrow’! Have a joyful day!

Today has been calling to me across what’s been a much cooler greyer week, because today we are promised sunshine & warmth, the sort of day whose memory will sustain us throughout what inevitably follows.. but first let’s simply glory in some sunshine! Enjoy your day, loveliest people!

Hello dearest early birds of the increasingly darker mornings! Wishing you a golden, happy day!

When the days are clearly shortening, it behoves us all to spread as much light as we possibly can! Have some flowers dear midweek chums!

Having just about acknowledged that we are no longer in summer, I now find myself in receipt of ‘only xxx days til Christmas’ emails. Immediate deletion! Be gone!

Good morning! After yesterday’s wind and rain, I want to run outside and individually thank each flower that made it through a stormy day! Here’s to more tranquil Tuesday for us all!

It may be ever so humble, but when you take a close look, it’s really rather lovely & anyway, who am I to disagree with a bird or a bee? This is why, after years of enmity I learned to love dandelions thus proving…something serious about us all living together in harmony etc etc Good morning to you!

@lucymccaul.bsky.social I should have mentioned that Nigel wears a Sooty tshirt in the new Spinal Tap movie! What a guy!

Went to new #SpinalTap movie! Didn’t disappoint one bit…and look at how high the bar was. Pitch perfect & with sublime cameos that really worked! Love these guys so much! Fabulous!

Good morning Sunday people! Wishing you a tranquil, happy day!

The weather vibe reflects my own this morning: there’s a bright sky but with obvious promise of rain nearby This week I was capsized by flu & while I want to rise & shine, it’s still holding me & warning me ‘Steady!’ Take it easy dearest Saturday peeps!

Sending a letter to a far-flung dear friend overseas Man in post office: ‘What’s in your letter?’ Me: ‘Words’

Pretty get-well-soon flowers from my thoughtful kid (the other, equally thoughtful) one’s on hols & doesn’t know I’ve been under the weather). Day 3 of the lurgy & while I’m still feeling grotty, I think this thing’s peaked. The sooner it’s gone the better! In the meantime, stay well Wednesday pals!

Words seldom uttered round here: woke this morning feeling really quite d-r-e-a-d-f-u-l Think I have a bug Back soon!

Stunningly lovely morning to be alive & out & about on #HampsteadHeath where this is just about my favourite corner!

Good morning Sunday Blue Sky thinkers! I hope your day leads you somewhere happy and peaceful!

Did u know?We need less of the left pic in our outside spaces,where nature is constricted. Nature needs more of the right pic - a free hand to ramble & run,with a light guiding touch at the edges.Such spaces provide food & shelter where small souls can live their best lives. 🌍🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🐦‍⬛🦎🪲🦋🐞 #rewilding

Awoke, after a dream about a beautiful full moon, and Hildegard of Bingen was playing on the radio and if that isn’t a perfect start to the weekend, then I don’t know what is! Wishing you a harmonious and very lovely day!

Stirring stuff! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Good morning darling early birds! Double joy this morning: the weekend is beckoning and there are rumours of sunshine! Wishing you thrills all the way, all day!

Good morning Thursday friends! Do these two little sweet faces count as ‘two for joy’? I think they do! Hope that your day is liberally laced with joy!

Did you know there are more living organisms in one handful of healthy soil than there are people on Earth? It can take 100s of years for just 1cm of soil to form, so it's vital we look after it – avoiding pesticides is one easy action. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/sav... #biodiversity

When you wake to audible weather, you just know that it’s a Make Your Own Sunshine kind of day! Good morning dear early birds!

Breaking news chez moi, where I have just put on another layer of clothes: husband has just been notified that the powerful fan he ordered several weeks ago will arrive tomorrow. *shivers*: oh goody!

Small Bomb at Dimperley by @lissakevans.bsky.social is a joy from start to finish. Laugh-out-loud funny and poignant too. TV commissioners, you want this! A 6-part series for fans of Jeeves & Wooster and Foyles War (i.e. everyone). Theme tune: Noel Coward’s The Stately Homes of England. 🎬🏰 📚💙

Good morning Tuesday friends! I was up too late to be a true early bird today, but here are some roses from my garden to kick start the day!

Summer flew and suddenly it’s September! Good morning misty, mellow early birds!

Here's a hint towards some of the places we have been recording over the summer and the soundscapes we'll be sharing with you soon...

Hello London!

Unbelievably, it’s technically the last day of summer so we absolutely must have flowers and light! Good morning to you and bring on an Indian Summer full of mellow, golden days!

Awoke with the light, as every true early bird will, then promptly fell back into the loveliest snooze to resurface to bright, bright sunshine and a magpie laughing outside my window. I know the old adage, but I’m rewriting the rules: it’s a one for joy start! Good morning to you!

I can’t think why it’s taken me so long to visit the Garden Museum, but v glad to have visited today & caught the delightful Cecil Beaton exhibition

Cliche it may be, but the weather right now really is good for the garden! Good morning & welcome to #GlassHalfFullFriday!
