The low morning sun really brought out the cup and ring marks on this boulder near Lordenshaws this morning #Northumberland

Waiting for the bread to rise. It’s a slow bread rising sort of day.

This afternoon’s walk. Bright and incredibly breezy. #Walking #Northumberland

Just a few quilted silk purses remain on my website. Dyed with homegrown indigo leaf, madder root, willow and logwood. For storing treasures, travelling with jewellery, or carrying coins 🧡

The 1st taste of #Winter snow in this corner of #Northumberland. #Corbridge #Tyne It'll soon be gone...

Snowy landscapes #Walking #Northumberland

First post on Bluesky; I’m hoping for a more civilised forum than the dreadful opposition. Finding it difficult to find people I know but I’ll be patient. 🤞

We’ve had/are having a bit of snow this morning #Northumberland

Crown Studio Gallery will be OPEN today, regardless of the snow. #Rothbury #Northumberland #art #landscape

‘A bit on the huh’ as they say in these parts 😂 #fingerpostfriday

A flash of colour among frosty trees, Pink on my chest, a sight to please. With a cap of black, and wings of blue, A shy delight in winter's hues. Who am I? #RSPBRiddles

A Water Lily in the river Stour, in late summer this year.

One of my main work perks is getting a slice of cake with my coffee. Polenta with orange and cranberry today. #coffee #cake

BREAKING: The latest #COP29 text falls woefully short. The finance package is too low, too weak, while critical acknowledgement of nature has been entirely erased. This is more than disappointing, it's dangerous. 🚨 Leaders—don't walk away without fixing this.

I’m listening to @emmanewman.bsky.social perform her own audiobook, Atlas Alone, and I’m enjoying it so much I went out for an extra walk so I could hear another hour or so. The afternoon light was just beautiful, and I saw a small flock of redwings, and took a not very good photo of them.

If you don't want to line the pockets of a multimillionaire, you could still shop online but support a small business- Like mine! I don't aspire to going into space, or taking over the world - just paying my bills!! crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com

#shittycamerachallenge ready

A Kate Rusby song has just come on. I’m really not sure where my head was at when I put this playlist together!

My small painting of "Old Rothbury" the remains of a hill fort overlooking the current village of Rothbury in Northumberland.

A beautiful cold but sunny walk on the carriageway above Rothbury (Northumberland) this morning with a friend and her two dogs. I usually enjoy being a solo walker, but it’s nice to have some company now and then.

Listening to a playlist I made ages ago, and The Who’s Love Reign O’er Me just came on. I’d forgotten how epic it is.

So this is how clouds are made - out in the snow yesterday - Lancashire

Collages with leaves and oil paint.

It’s always a treat to rediscover a 1970s Bunty annual. Remember the cut-out wardrobe? “These outfits have been specially designed for cycling”
