And now I have progress on the new quilt as I return to the studio. I love it when I have a work in progress to let me get back into the flow. #piecing #workinprogress #artquilt #quiltstudio

I appear to have developed a Boxing Day sandwich dependency. Sadly, I’m being told I must now go cold turkey

Caught our barncat boy at work with a small blep last week. ❤️ He still startles and hides when you open the door of his kennel and will not accept any touch; but he'll take treats through the bars. We're hoping he can go to someone who can keep working with him, but those homes are so hard to find.

On this day eight years ago, my dearest Dad died at home of bowel cancer. His death was a good as it can possibly be - cocooned within the love of his wife, children and grandchildren, with his symptoms palliated beautifully. 🧵

Happy Boxing Day Boxes remind us that simple things can bring comfort A warm spot, a quiet pause, a moment to belong Boxes provide comfort, structure, and emotional support. This should be recognised more formally I am happy to be the official Box Appreciation Ambassador

Good morning from the very wise cat.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. Photo taken this morning in Glastonbury, about half an hour after sunrise. It started off very grey and windy on my walk this morning up Glastonbury Tor but I just happened to be walking along the lane when the light broke through.
