Quite the day - the maiden voyage of dad's new model boat, steam launch the Wilma Woo. Obviously named after the world's most awesome and formidable scottie dog. 😄 Definitely floated. Boat nerds suitably impressed. 👍🙌🥰 #modelboat #modelling #steamship #steamlaunch #sailing #boatclub #scottiedog

Gorgeous week for visits to @rhshydehall , @rhswisley (no pic, not sure how I managed that...) amd @rhsrosemoor with the Leadership team. All gardens looking phenomenal for spring - make sure you take a visit! 😍😍 #gardens #plants #gardenvisit #horticulture

Upholstering the bench seating this weekend. Sharp learning curve. 😄😄 #girlswhobuild #girlswholikegirls #upholstery #upholsterydiy #cushions #diy #diyproject #benchseat

An inspirational day at the @natural_history_museum with the National Education Nature Park Team, chatting all things education engagement. This is such an important @educationgovuk initiative that we're proud to be part of at @the_rhs. The team are smashing it, frabkly. 😄🙌🥳

Stage 1 of the bench seating in the kitchen. Next weekend- wheely boxes! 😃😃🛠 #renovation #building #diy #girlswhobuild

We need your help! Due to the roadworks near RHS wisley we are at a £6mill loss, seriously limiting the charitable work we can achieve. 🌻🌲 Please consider signing the petition or supporting further at the link below. Thank you, your support is appreciated. 🥰 www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/wisl...

Gorgeous morning but super chilly. Love her in her tiny jumper. 🥰🥰

A gorgeous morning for a walk around @rhswisley with some of the awesome @the_rhs Leadership Team. SO much to see in the garden even at this time of year, and the spring flowers are starting to Bloom. Come along and see for yourself! 😃🌿🌲❤️‍🔥

Kitchen floor going down. They're very confused but seem to understand they're not allowed on it. 😄😄🥰

So - this year was snowmen. What should be next years' Christmas crochet 'bauble' gift? 🌵 Christmas cactus 🐳 Christmas whale 🎅 Father Christmas (probably fatter) (All prototypes - improvements will be made. 😄🎄)

I'm rubbish at routine - so 'going to the gym three times a week' will fail. 😬 However I LOVE a challenge, so a goal is the only way to motivate myself. Now I've been in three different gyms over Christmas. Are you framing your new year's resolutions in the best way? 😜💪💪😃 #QuestForASinglePullUp

This is 2024! Happy New Year to all - make it a good one. 😘❤️

Lovely wander to Hayburn Wyke 😍 Also love that this lunch was listed under 'snacks' 🤣😋 Yorkshire portions are the best.

🥰 Whitby

Just when I thought he couldn't get any more evil - Feathers Mcgraw mocking my continued lack of pull-up... 😜 #QuestForASinglePullUp

Lovely walk around South Yorks this morning! 😍😍

Merry Christmas All! 🎄⛄️😍🥳🎅 Have a super day, and if its not a super one for you this year, hope it's at least peaceful. 😘

This year's Christmas tipple is a Brandy Alexander. Brandy, chocolate cream liqueur, banana liqueur and cream. Super healthy I reckon. 😄😄😋

Bought some new tree decorations. They're mistletoe. 🧐🧐👀😜

Edinburgh Castle pre-Christmas 😍😍

I know they say don't meet your heroes, but bumped into this one in Edinburgh and he was delightful. 🤩😍❤️ #Paddington #Edinburgh

A super couple of days visiting teams at @rhsbridgewater and @rhsharlowcarr and the privilege of visiting GLOW at both gardens. Such an incredible way to see both spaces in a different 'light' 😜😃😍

GLOW at @rhswisley looking spectacular! You have until early January to visit - and there's mulled cider and mince pies! 😋😍

Tune into BBC radio Humberside and Lincs this morning to hear Doug and I having a chat about crochet plants and whether it is ever OK to put googly eyes on a cactus* 🌵👀 Or you can catch up later on BBC sounds. 😃 *spoiler - it is ok

Time for the alumni of this year's Christmas Crochet project to journey to their forever homes. ALMOST got them all done in time. 😂 One to go. 🥰⛄️ Which is your favourite?

Look at them grow! 🤩🤩 Photos today, yesterday and two days ago. 🤩😱🤯

Evenings in the office are a wild ride at this time of year, amidst @the_rhs #Glow. 😍😍🤩🤩😃🌲🌿🌻🍂

Yellow oyster mushrooms on the way! 😍

I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm not sure I'm going to be allowed back into Yorkshire... 😳 #YorkshirePuddings

Going old school on the power-cut-in-pub entertainment. Who remembers this? 😃😍😍❤️

Power out due to the storm and not back for 24hrs apparently! Impromptu evening at the pub and then we’re on the candlelight... 😳😱

Wilma and I enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise today! SO wet underfoot though - and when your tummy is only 12cm off the ground* that makes for serious muddiness. 😱😄🥰 *hers, not mine

Very excited to get growing these yellow oyster and lions mane mushrooms from @caleybroyhers ! I'll keep you updated. Don't hold your breath for 3-4 weeks. Massively bad timed it and am probably going to have to take them on Christmas holidays with me. 😂😂🍄

Chilly one out this morning. Should get feeling back in 15 mins or so. 😳😄❄️ #cold #reynauds

An awesome day at the first ever @prideinleadership conference. Met so many awesome people, learned a load about diversity, inclusion, and community. AND heard from the excellent Prof Stephen Whittle whose approach I have enormous respect for. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈😃

Storm on the way. Feels like a banana and peanut butter pancake kind of morning. 😋😍

Brazen enough to steal Taylor for an intro here? Yep. I'm a creative comms consultant for charities and non-profits. Most recent stints with MyBnk, AdviceUK & Bankside Open Spaces Trust working on national campaigns, strategy, brand and web development. Need a collaborator? 👋 milicomms.co.uk

Happy Friday All! 🥳 Kitty is just what we need on a Friday morning on BlueSky. Pure genius. ❤️🤣 'I had my TV mended. I say mended. A shifty looking youth in plimsolls came and waggled me aerial and wolfed me gypsy creams, but that's the comprehensive system for you'. youtube.com/watch?v=T-iD...

I know there are many light trails you could go to this year, but PLEASE consider GLOW at @the_rhs Gardens. Like this one at @rhshydehall , the trees and plants are the biggest feature, and they look exceptional in the light. 😍😍 such a different way to experience these awesome natural forms.

What a looker. Gorgeous frosty day at @rhshydehall ! 😍😍❤️❤️

The office has gone so woke. 😉😍😍 Glow is looking incredible at all our @the_rhs gardens. Come and visit for an awesome evening, family fun, mulled wine and mince pies. 🥳

Below zero this morning at @rhswisley ! The glasshouse landscape always puts on a good frosty show. ❄️❄️😍😍

Always a pleasure to visit @fionadavison65 in the Lindley library- especially when she whops out treasures like: 1. Ellen Willmott's own Genus Rosa 2. A Humphrey Repton red book 3. Pre-war minutes 4. John Elllis's Venus fly trap. And I have to remain calm and not squeal like a nerd... 🤓😍

The first draft of this book took me 2 months and I've now been editing it for 9 times longer than that. 🫤😂 Ridiculous. Must get on! 📚🤓 (Am only getting on with it today as I'm fluey and have no option other than to sit down...)

Last week at RHS Harlow Carr - autumn looking exceptional. 🍂😍🍂😍

So many people! Better socially-awkwardly introduce myself. I'm Sue, I work for the Royal Horticultural Society and you'll usually find me: 🌻 in beautiful gardens 🛠 doing DIY 🐶 with my dog Wilma 📚 feeling guilty for not finishing the next book (yet) 🧶 crocheting 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ supporting LGBTQIA+ visibility

Got one of those light box things. What should I write on it next? 😜

Happy 10 years of same-sex marriage in the UK! 🥳🥳 After all, it's not only straight couples who deserve to have confetti dumped on their head by their dads. Also lovely to have rights and recognition, etc etc. 😉 Show me your awesome same-sex weddings. 😍

Prunus 'The Bride'. Always a stunner. 😍😍

"Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity" by @drsuemoss.bsky.social has officially dropped on audible.🤩 We can't wait to hear how Thea & Co. have been brought to life.👭 After you've listened, click the link below to relive Dr.Sue's awesome Q&A event.⬇️ youtu.be/qYfo0FMpChE?si=8z7REFqULN7j1l-A
