Visually impaired version! Another shiny pewter grey sky and massed, ghostly clouds, with light reflecting from the snowy street below my window. A sleety rain is pattering down, but other than that, all is still and quiet. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! The moon again so huge and bright that it illuminates the whole sky, dimming the stars and making the rippled clouds look like a celestial moonlit beach, so that I remember the feel of cold, hard, ridged sand under my bare feet and the distant crash of waves on the shore

A crisp and cold start to the day here in Glastonbury. It was a magical morning watching the moon set over St Michael's tower with belt of Venus colour behind.

Visually impaired version! A most amazing early sky, the moon huge, full and bright, illuminating a polished pewter sky overlaid with billowing ghost clouds. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

It was a chilly start to the day here in Glastonbury. Photo taken shortly after sunrise.

Visually impaired version! A dramatic early morning sky over the castle, with huge, ink-dark clouds against a spreading and translucent steely blue-grey. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! A late start, the sky already lavender-grey and several noisy gulls doing a soft-shoe shuffle on the roof. Now a sleety rain is hammering the conservatory. I lingered there, next to my easel in the comforting smell of oil paints, linseed oil and turpentine

31 Feel Good Activities For January

Visually impaired version! The sky has slowly lightened from deep mauve to light, lilac-grey, and the birds from the rooky wood have just taken off in a great clatter of wings and hoarse cries. They used to line up in a very Daphne du Maurier way, waiting for me to put food out, but not this winter

This year wasn't that great but I'm grateful for the people who made it special.🫶 I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! May 2026 be filled with loads of sunshine, good books, and great adventures! Cheers to a brand new chapter!🥂 📷 Algarve, Portugal 🇵🇹

I'm supposed to be tidying my study between edits but couldn't resist taking a photo of the books I bought this year that have 'spredges' (sprayed edges) before they're redistributed throughout my bookcase. So beautiful! These are mostly romantic fantasy. Why don't other genres have them?

Visually impaired version! A translucent blackberry sky, peppered with stars - something to treasure as dawn slowly starts earlier and earlier. Joy in the morning, as the title of a P G Wodehouse novel has it... though possibly not about the same thing. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind

I am currently listening 🎧📚 to the MP3 CD 🎄📚 that I won recently in @sophieclaire.bsky.social Newsletter competition Christmas at the French Repair Shop by Sophie Claire Read by Laura Kirman which is really good. It’s also available on Audible 🎧📚 as well as paperback 📖 #BookSky #audiobook #Book

A bookish look back at 2025 | #books #lovetoread #bookblogger Well, here we are nearly at the end of the year and it's time to have a look back at my bookish year, both here on the blog and elsewhere. First and foremost it's about the books so I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the lovely…

It's that quiet time between Christmas and New Year when I hear from some people that they are finding it hard. Sending love, the days are getting longer, spring is on its way and I hope the world will seem brighter for you soon xx
