Fact: Refugees are teachers, gamers, parents, students, artists and dreamers. Just like you. What sets refugees apart from most people in the UK is being forced to leave home in search of safety. #MythVsFact #WithRefugees

Under a thundery yellow sky, Mouse & Old Fox were picking blackberries on Gleydestow lane. Mouse accidentally dropped her basket & began to cry. I can't do anything, I'm such a fool. Old Fox took her little paw in his, you are one of the bravest souls I have ever met, he said.

Anne Louise Avery's followers will know that her beloved mother, who was also a clever and talented writer, is still very much-missed. 🕊 I'm sure that @annelouiseavery.bsky.social has a copy of it already, but I wanted to share this gem that I came across in a local newspaper.

It was a very cold evening & the East wind was as thin as glass. Look, Wolf, look at the sky over the Downs, said Pine Marten, the clouds look so strange. They're called Lamenters, said Wolf, torn clouds, strife-tellers, come a long way they have to bring their warnings.

Old Fox climbed the familiar track winding through the gorse, Meadow Browns fluttering before him like sombre heralds, up to the top of Barrowdown. There in that light, that gold-milled early September light, he called for help, help from the tattery ghosts of thatch & field & acre.

A love letter for 'autumnophiles'. 🍂

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Old fox is my hero 🦊 but I might be in the wardrobe with Wolf for part of today🐺

Pioneers of Aerial Navigation Harold Harvey (1874–1941) 1913 Private collection

'Flood the country with rationalism, normality, kindness, paint over the slogans, tear down the hateful flags, but move calmly and with thought, with immense care and logic, not passion. Passion leads to fighting, book-burning, riots, deaths, chaos. Exactly what they want.' #OldFox'sCottage #Wisdom

Have I mentioned here on 🦋 how much I adore these Shell Nature Studies? The concept of an oil company using nature to promote itself may be troublesome today, but it speaks of a period when art and commercialism (c.f. the lithographs in Lyons' Corner Houses) co-existed harmoniously in Britain.
