“No,” said Frog. “There was only some wet mud and a lizard who was chasing his tail.”

We want to be inside, we want to be outside. We want to be together. #hedgewatch #tabbytroop #sisters

As a lady of a certain age, the struggle is real! #menopause #teacherlife

Best not tell the kits!! #Reading #Grandmahobbies

Wake up Mammy! It’s Caturday, and it’s not raining! #Caturday #Catio

“Do not be afraid,” said Frog. “I will be with you on the sled. It will be a fine, fast ride. Toad, you sit in front. I will sit right behind you.”

Onto ready with @theknittinggrandma.bsky.social #grandmahobbies #Christmas

#3goodthings 1. A productive motorsport meeting 2. Singing in the car (I had to laugh after school when the first line I hear was -we don’t need no education! 3. The gorgeousness of Miss Mason. Currently sharing the snuggle chair.

Miss Fortnum needs to snuggle. (I now need to work out how to balance the accounts on my other knee to cross check them!) #Hedgewatch #snuggletime

Morning sky #LoveDurham #Steeltown #sunrise

We will skip through the meadows and run through the woods and swim in the river.

I’m on a Zoom call, and someone is in a proper huff! #Hedgewatch

“I will do it tomorrow,” said Toad. “Today I will take life easy.”

Miss Mason has been outside, but she wasn’t impressed! She’s staying close to mammy this morning and ‘helping’ with everything. She was tonight on brand with her choice of bag! (Fortnum is in the wardrobe!) #Hedgewatch #cats

Happy #mincepieday (for yesterday) and #stirupsunday Good luck with all your Christmas baking - I bet your house smells lovely! (We’re going for gluten free Christmas muffins here!) #grandmahobbies #baking

My Saturday evening plan!

#Caturday afternoon in Consett. There’s a hint of grump because I dared to go out and leave them! #Hedgewatch

A lovely walk (and lunch) at Low Barns - a @durhamwildlife.bsky.social nature reserve. If you look carefully, you might spot the woodpecker and nuthatch. (Clearly I’m not a wildlife photographer!) #LoveDurham #wellbeing

In the evenings we will sit right here on this front porch and count the stars.

Snuggles with Miss Mason! #Furriday #Caturdayeve

A chilly start for my waddle to the car! #winter #LoveDurham #sunrise

#3goodthongs 1. Fluffy fat snowflakes. (Although not ideal when you’re trying to teach maths.) 2. The kits taking it in turns to snuggle 3. Christmas shopping (for presents) is finished!

There was snuggling, then little furry fat bot (AKA Fortnum) decided she needed a bigger sofa. #Hedgewatch

Just spotted this glorious book! (I loved Noel Streatfield.) That’s also my Christmas shopping finished! #reading #Christmas

Read these words and rejoice. It's #buyastrangerabook day today. I'll probably start at around midday. www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi...

On a snowy morning, the best place to be is in a box. Our #Hedgewatch didn’t last long! #WhiskersWednesday

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” Audre Lorde. Some days take more energy than we planned for. Some days ask us to pause instead. Both are part of being human, and both deserve gentleness rather than judgement.🧡 #kindness #SelfCare Art by LauraJaneIllustrations

“Frog, do not worry,” cried Toad. “I am coming to help you!” Toad ran out of his house.

Christmas term is really hard work, look after yourself 😊

Then #ReverseWhamageddon comes into play. 😁
