Let me share a beautiful autumn day in Ely, Cambridgeshire. With a blue sky, colourful trees and a sunrise on the river. November is a stunning month for sure. “I love Nature and how it nourishes our Souls. ~ Veronica in the Fens”

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

Me: "Everything’s under control!" Narrator: ...Absolutely nothing was under control.

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women www.teenvogue.com/story/womano...

Wishing a meaningful Veterans Day 🇺🇸 to all who served, and to their families. Thank you for your service. Freedom is not free.

The craziest part is that Republicans could’ve ended the shutdown on their own anytime they wanted. 50 senators is all it would take. But they didn’t feel like it. Which is accepted as a premise, so fixing things becomes Democrats’ responsibility, and apparently enough Democratic senators agree.

Yesterday in Central Park New York City

The beauty of a window that shows us the beautiful village of Collonges la Rouge from the inside. France.🤎

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Grateful for another day

To be “great” can’t be causing others to suffer and then blaming them for their suffering. Cruelty isn’t greatness. Indifference isn’t greatness. Greed isn’t greatness. “Government tells states to ‘immediately undo’ steps to fund November SNAP benefits”

One of my favourite plants in the garden at this time of the year is this smoke bush, Cotinus ‘Grace’. Its dark purple leaves transform into the most extraordinary, glowing colours, in shades of oranges and reds! #DailyBotanicalBeauty #gardening

A big day out for Bilbo visiting the local library and a stop at the coffee shop for a settle and a little treat ☕ He did a brilliant job keeping his focus on his volunteer trainer and showed off his super 'Sit' and settle whilst out and about in his training jacket 🐕‍🦺

A few flowers still bringing light and joy to my garden in November: Rosa ‘The Fairy’, a Calendula ‘Snow Princess’ bud slowly unfurling its pretty petals, Cosmos ‘Candy Stripe’, Dahlia ‘White Onesta’, Geranium ‘Nimbus’, and Nicotiana mutabilis. #SixOnSaturday #gardening

Also a Friday feeling : )

Peace everywhere

Again: what cruelty animates this action; even if it were legal, why would you do something this inhumane?
