Over on X/Twitter I posted this piece in response to a cosmic prompt. Definitely my lowest word count piece! #poetry

A select few photos from many taken over several days in Krakow. A beautiful city full of history and culture; very much not just for stag dos! #Krakow #Poland

Up to old tricks, she wandered around the table and plucked name cards at random and threw them in the fireplace. Ms Lannelli, the housekeeper, always did a wonderful job at setting the table, but who didn't like a bit of spontaneity. #VSS365 #Trickery

You loop back to me sure as the tide returns to the shore. I don't have to wonder if you'll return, only when. #VSS365 #Loop

Without u there is no color.

Fox eggs :) 🦊🐾🧡 A few years ago I did a linocut with the narrative 'There is a story that some foxes are born from eggs. If you look at the shape of a fox when curled up it is easy to see the resemblance in shape.There also is a story that the world was born from the egg of a fox' 🦊🌀🌖

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

In case you wonder what I get up to when I'm not writing, hiking about in nature, or crafting you can see me 'acting' in this fab video promoting the new MA Games Design (Narrative) @bristoluni.bsky.social #BristolDigitalGameLab #Gamers #GamesCommunity

Morning musings... You can’t spiral if you’re pretending to be a 19th-century poet in exile.

One to look out for ⬇️

Darren scrabbled around on the floor looking for the screw he'd dropped, which seemed to be just as illusive as any hidden talent he might have for DIY. #VSS365 #Illusive #Writers

With thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk for hosting #PoemsAbout and this week's prompt #InBloom. #PoetryCommunity

Not sure how I've only just discovered 'In Our Time' on BBC Sounds but I'm very glad I have. So far listened to a range of things from the history of Venice to JS Mill to the Mariana Trench. Currently listening to the episode about Nikola Tesla.

Sometimes when we are botanising we can forget to look up! Which would be a shame as #treeflowers are both fascinating & beautiful! This week’s challenge is to go looking for wild & naturalised trees that are blooming. Share your finds for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm!

This coming Sunday, we’re open to the public in aid of the National Garden Scheme (Overbury Court isn’t ordinarily open to the public). If anyone is local-ish and fancies a day out in the Cotswolds, we’re located in between Tewkesbury and Evesham. #gardening #opengardens #nationalgardenscheme

I take a slice, partake in the gathering, but my mind is elsewhere. It's the first time we've all been together since the funeral and the cake is too sweet, the laughter too loud. #VSS365 #Partake #WritingCommunity #WritersClub

The only flowers in my garden at the moment are blue. It's lovely to have a bit of colour coming through though! #GardensHour

Reminder! We’re open for subs all of March!

We’re back!!! Tickets 🎟️ available here. Limited readers. Limited audience. Joine me for an intimate open mic in a supportive and encouraging space. shorturl.at/BFZ7F

Why is it raining again?

They had always called her precious. Precious as in special and cherished when she was young, and then precious as in particular and difficult when she was older. You couldn't pinpoint the exact moment the shift occurred but it was probably around the time her daughter died. #VSS365 #Precious
