Spring must have sprung as just found this wasp wandering sleepy in the house. It's now rescued and put outside #spring #nature #wasps

Wish me luck... off to Dance Workout tonight... must be 6 months since I last went a class!

Oh a handwritten letter from @helenintgarden.bsky.social was on my doormat when I came in! #handwritten #handwrittenletter

Today's social history talk "Stoke-on-Trent in the 1950s". Interesting as it was a time when rationing was finishing and people were moving out of "slums" and into new big social housing estates. #The1950s

while routing around this morning for some jeans to cut up make into shorts I came across a couple of pairs of jeans that had "shrunk" in the wardrobe. Stuck them on Vinted and one pair has already sold 😃

He's back! YW arrived on the nest last night. Welcome back old pal. #FoulshawOspreys @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social

Touch down! YW lands on the nest just before dark last night. He and Blue 35 first nested here in 2013 with first chicks in 2014. Since then they have fledged 32 chicks. He'll be 18 this year and still going strong. #FoulshawOspreys @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social

Last year I cut a pair of jeans to make some shorts ... I wore them a lot, they became my favourite shorts! Routed through my jeans and made two more pairs. One were a new pair of jeans but they were cheaper than buying shorts and this way I can make them the length I like! #sewing #upcycling

I know they are not everyone's cup of tea but Hanging Out with Ant & Dec podcast is brilliant... not much makes me laugh but that does! I'm gutted I've all caught up and have to wait for new episodes now! I rate it 8 bananas 🍌 #hangingoutwithantanddec #beltabox

Six the Musical at the Regent Theatre. I love the show, my third time seeing it. If only we could learn all history by musicals 😂 Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived #sixthemusical #regenttheatre #Theatre #musicals

Today we've been on a tour of Whitmore Hall. Very interesting. Been in the same family for 35 generations! Recently been on a TV programme Saving Country Houses. #whitmorehall #whitmorelakes #Staffordshire

Sunday stroll round Trentham. It's been awhile since we've been on a Sunday. It was quite busy. Lots of daffodils out. #TrenthamEstate #trenthamgardens #sundaywalks

Missing my morning walk along the beach 😒 so I'll have to make do with photos and memories until I return! #rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey

Had to be done! Only a paddle though. #paddling #sea #rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey

I don't regular take flowers the crem, instead I'd rather have flowers or plants at home. I got a small magnolia bush on Mum's first anniversary. It usually flowers around her anniversary and I arrived home to find it in flower - thank you Mum for sending flowers ❤️ #rememberingmum #mymum

Been watch the sunset on the beach. Going to miss watching this tomorrow 😪 #rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey #sunset

@letterappsoc.bsky.social A postcard to my Dad from Rhosneigr on Anglesey. I always send him one when I go away. He's in a care home so rarely gets any post. A talking point for him with the staff ❤️ #postcard #postboxwednesday

Fabulous day to just wander along the beach and there's miles of it at Rhosneigr. Weather has been perfect. #rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey

First ice-cream of 2026. They no longer stock Red Boat cherry bakewell so it was rum and raisin. It was melting so I eaten half of it by time I'd walked down to the beach 🤣🤣 #Rhosneigr #icecream #Anglesey

Posted Dad a postcard this morning. I'll probably be home before he gets it but I always send one. It's the beach at Aberffraw where I went on Monday. #postcard #Rhosneigr #Anglesey #handwritten

Easy to spot yourself on the webcam when you wear pink 🤣🤣 #rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #webcam

Today I've been to South Stack but it was SO windy... literally took your breath away. Very grateful to my big warm coat! I didn't walk down to the cliffs as there were no birds flying, all sheltering! Puffins due any time now. #southstack #southstacklighthouse #Anglesey

A walk along to the beach at Aberffraw this morning blow the cobwebs away. Just me the sand and the sea, just perfect. I found a big log to sit on. Back to the car before the predicted rain came #Aberffraw #Anglesey #beachwalks

That'll be me on the webcam watching the sunset on the beach at Rhosneigr 🤣 ##rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey

Walked down to watch the sunset from the beach at Rhosneigr ❤️ Some rain clouds over yonder but it stayed dry. ##rhosneigrbeach #rhosneigr #anglesey

Well after a wet and windy morning the weather perked up come afternoon. A wander along the beach at Rhosneigr #Anglesey #Rhosneigr

Yesterday we went to Rhoscolyn... my friend took me on a walk down her memory lane. Beautiful blue skies. #Rhoscolyn #Anglesey

If I would have said to Dad I wanted a hot tub in the garden this is what I would have come home to 🤣🤣 #hottub

Watched the Harry Styles concert. In this digital world it was a great way to introduce his new music/album to his fans and those that weren't lucky enough to get tickets only had to wait a few days to see the concert on Netflix ! Found myself toe tapping along. #HarryStyles

fed up being bombarded with Mother's Day emails. I'm not a Mum and I no longer have my Mum so I'm not interested but companies feel the need to email constantly about Mother's Day ... so I've set up a filter and so far the ones I've received today have gone straight to delete ! Result ! #MothersDay

scrolling through holidays as you do on a grey Sunday morning and noticed the cottage I stayed in last year was getting booked up ... so dropped a booking in, not the week I wanted as someone else has already swipped that one - lol ! #holidays #anglesey

A quick £12 garden makeover ... rotting sleepers removed, some weeds removed and membrane and rubber sleepers down. They ain't level but they are better than they were. Acer moved from winter sheltering, fingers crossed for no more frost! My Daphne is flowering #mygarden #mygardentoday

My bargain from B&M rubber railway sleepers ... they were £12.99 each in the local garden centre and last week they were £9 in B&M and I thought that was cheap 😱 #BandM #bargain

Sat looking at the vase of daffodils and remembered it was St David's day ... I will win no awards for painting but it kept my mind busy for awhile... as the saying goes "paint like no one is watching" or something along those lines 🤣🤣🕺💃 #painting #watercolourpainting #creative

My Mum did pottery classes. She made me some mugs with my name on. She made lots of pots and little houses and she made me these book ends. Even signed and dated them! #rememberingmum #potteryclass

I don't think it's cause I'm not the target audience but The Brits was crap ... Manchester tell them you are busy next year and send it back down to London ! #TheBrits #Brits2026 #TheBritAwards

The Brits ... another reminder that I'm officially "old" as I won't have heard of half of the nominations/songs/acts 🤣😂 #TheBrits #music

My glass fusion pieces are done. Love the poppies. The bottle kilns need a bit of edge work but I need a steady hand sort! They keep reminding me of a slab of Walkers Nonsuch Toffee which was not the look I was aiming for 🤣🤣 #glassfusion #glassart #creative

My own personalised mint cake #Kendal #kendalmintcake

Wanted something I can take out and about, so picked up some sketching pencils, some cheap water colour pencils and water brushes... so a quick practice with them. They actually work quite well! Hopefully I'll get some relaxing painting done ... well that's the idea. #watercolourpainting #painting

my intention this morning was to go to do some more at Dad's house but I'm not in the right headspace at the moment and for once I'm listening to my body ... I've been here before and I don't want to get to that stage where I "hit the wall" again ... so today is a "be kind to me" day

An hour in the garden filling up the garden bin again. Definite signs of spring and the birds were tweeting away! #mygarden #mygardentoday #spring

I managed to find some... interesting flavour you can definitely taste the honey but it has a bit of a kick! #walkers #walkerscrisps

When you go spend 10 minutes tidying the garden, 2 1/2 hours later the garden bin is full, this waiting go in when emptied. Think I'd better sign up for garden waste collection! Nice to see signs of spring but everywhere is very wet and muddy! #mygarden #mygardentoday #nature #spring

When you finish your current book and can't decide what to read next so look on Amazon for inspiration. Found an Eddie Flynn book I'd not read and it was only 99p. Also paid the £10 get the sponsored ads off my Kindle so it would display the book cover! #books #reading #stevecavanagh ##EddieFlynn

Watching Walkers Unpacked on Ch4 and the launch of their new hot honey flavour. I think I need to try a packet ! #Ch4 #WalkersCrisps

Hounds of the Baskervilles at the New Vic was excellent, well worth going to see. The cast were superb. Not a hound was seen so thankfully no nightmares tonight 😂 #NewVicTheatre #HoundsoftheBaskervilles

A wander around Trentham this morning while it was dry. Looking forward to Snoopy coming! #trenthamestate #trenthamgardens

They've put fencing up around the front and side of Hanley museum... at least they left Arnold on the outside of the fencing. He's not got much of a view but on the positive he'll have no distractions from reading his book 🤣🤣 #ArnoldBennett #Stoke-on-Trent #Hanley

I'm currently reading Freckles by Cecelia Ahern ...almost gave up as I don't like the writing style, it doesn't flow and feels like a lazy writing style but I was interested in the concept of "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with" #books #reading #ceceliaahern
