This linocut really emphasises the lovely dappling moment of the sunlight.

These are gorgeous. If only I didn't have a drawer full of coasters!

I know there is more to Iceland than whaling but the country's decision to resume killing whales is despicable and it remains on my boycott list. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/two-fin...

Good plan by the house sparrow ...

This photograph is perfect, capturing a late 1960s moment.

Absolutely! This would be a real gesture ⏬️

Thanks @stuartmaconie.bsky.social for inspiring us to visit Southampton in the footsteps of JB Priestley and you! We read The Full English. A great read and Southampton did prove to be a great city to walk around.

A tree of many thick trunks for #ThickTrunkTuesday This cedar has spread through a Hampshire graveyard, creating a comforting space among it's trunks.

A gorgeous Giant Cat of Dunbar!

I'm sad to hear David Hockney has left this world. His artworks often dazzled and gave me pleasure. Two ⏬️ from my last visit to Saltaire. You'll need to click to see them fully.

Some wise words ...

Staffordshire's finest ...

I went to see The Archers Live at 75 last night in #Manchester. I only went 'cos a friend was poorly. It was such fun! 😂 I only got 2/5 in The Bull quiz despite being a listener of #thearchers for decades. So if you're a listener and get the chance, go along. Lovely to be in The Palce Theatre too⏬️

#Pirates on the beach in #Morecambe! Where did they moor their ship? 🦜

This weekend, my Herdwick print will be shown at the 2026 @paeartforacause.bsky.social fundraiser in The Hague, Netherlands. A cause very close to my ❤️ #believeinfilm #printyourwork #art www.postcardartexhibit.com

The russians have killed 705 children in their war to try and make Ukraine their own. We will never know the amazing lives these children could have lived 💔🇺🇦

We've had plenty of summer rain this week!

North easterners: get yourselves along to this. Zine review here: silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2026/05/oppo...

This is a great photograph. I generally don't think we take enough photographs of lines of washing and that is a seriously scenic line.

#Ukraine is more than a war ...

There is still a war in #Ukraine 🥰🇺🇦

Cotton grass growing around the boardwalk paths at Foulshaw Moss made me think of you @mainebogboy.bsky.social I know it is a favourite of yours. Is it flowering in Maine yet? We went to see the ospreys and found them and so many dragonflies and butterflies.

I have seen adders before but not in #Cumbria. There were a few around at Foulshaw Moss, distracting us from the 2 osprey nests and the abundance of butterflies and dragonflies. Well done @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social

Just beautiful. An abundance of starlings.

Last year we spent a magical few days on the Scottish island of Islay in our #campervan. Read about the trip on my blog. There are beaches, whisky and dolphins! #Travel #Scotland #Islay Four Days on the Special Scottish Island of Islay – Back on the road again share.google/HrdAohQmffTl...

We all did this, didn't we?

Brilliant!

Such golden-light-darkness.

What an Orkney sunset!

The russian attacks last night on Kyiv #Ukraine hit the National Art Museum 💔

Just this ...

Kyiv #Ukraine last night. The number of deaths has increased to two after a night of many missiles and drones from russia.

Lack of data and no wifi stopped me posting from the Outer Hebrides. Now we're home I can share pics. There are few trees & these around Lews Castle were pretty with bluebells. The rocky seascapes were the best. The stones at Calanais were remarkable and we had them to ourselves. And the beaches!

Interesting and useful briefing on the war in #Ukraine available from the World Service www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A striking image from a Ukrainian printmaker.

This is a despicable decision by the UK Government to decide to fund russia's invasion and occupation of #Ukraine and the ongoing war. @lizzicollinge.bsky.social BBC News - UK loosens Russian oil sanctions as fuel prices rise www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Magnificent!

A Sunday morning sort of painting.

Marvellous!
