For this week’s #SmallBeautiesHour: some of the decorated trees in the Pateley Bridge Christmas tree competition. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

I have a wonderful seasonal job as Santa. The grotto is amazing - a lovely walk with the elves through a winter wonderland, before meeting Father Christmas in a cozy snug #BecauseOfClem #SmallBeautiesHour #ThreadOfGold💛

It’s this sort of day today…#BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #SmallBeautiesHour

Happy 30th birthday, my beautiful boy. Almost nine years without Clem, but never a day without his light. To mark his 30th birthday, let’s make the world a little kinder - just as Clem always tried to do #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

A late entry for this evening’s #smallbeautieshour: a stunning sunset, looking from the window of Stump Cross Cavern Cafe, out over Middle Hill. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Evening Bluesky peeps. A #RubbishBirdPics field trip at the weekend resulted in a snap of this magnificent swan coming in to land #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Hi Bluesky friends. You may remember my friend, Gordon, who is living with #Dementia, appearing in #smallbeautieshour a few weeks ago, singing in York. He & his lovely wife are staying with us for a while, and what a joy it is to have them here. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold🧡

Evening Bluesky peeps. Top shroomage spotted on yesterday's lovely autumnal walk 🍄💛 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Evening all. Lovely trip to the Bowes Museum at the weekend resulting in lots of #SmallBeauties (especially the cake!) #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Being at the Bowes Museum meant seeing the magnificent Silver Swan......the ultimate #SmallBeauty and a pretty good #RubbishBirdPics field trip (which didn't involve any real birds)! #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Hello Bluesky friends. Whilst I was away over the weekend, I ran into these two chaps #SmallBeautiesHour #ThreadOfGold #BecauseOfClem

Hello Bluesky friends. Whilst out with the dogs last week, we accidentally disturbed these ladies enjoying their lunch #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Good evening Bluesky friends. Here is some Autumn sunshine from our walk around Scar and Angram reservoirs in Upper Nidderdale. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #smallbeautieshour

Evening Bluesky peeps. Lovely visit to Cragside House last week. Gorgeous despite the rain. 💚🌧🌳💚 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Thrilled to learn, there is an Owl Suite at Cragside!!! ☺️🦉 #RubbishBirdPics #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

My friends Joana & Gordon visited recently. Gordon lives with #dementia, and has become very quiet, but he sprung to life when he heard these musicians playing in the street, in York. Absolutely beautiful 🤩 #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Evening Bluesky peeps. A long overdue visit to Levens Hall at the weekend to see the spectacular topiary 💚🌳💚 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Hello Bluesky friends. Even though the nights are drawing in and the mercury is falling, it’s lovely to see that there is still colour and life in the garden. #ThreadOfGold #BecauseOfClem #SmallBeautiesHour

Hello #SmallBeautiesHour friends. It’s great to be back on @bsky.app after a couple of weeks away. This week, I want to post some beauties both great and small, from Sunday’s Nidderdale Show. To start, some of the big beasts… #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Evening BlueSky peeps. Popping in briefly tonight to share some pics of a spectacular weekend jaunting about in beautiful #Northumberland 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

News from #rubbishbirdpics HQ this evening: CI Woodpigeon spends an inordinate amount of time in the bath! 😬🤣 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

Hello Bluesky friends. This week, for #SmallBeautiesHour: Harrogate in splendid bloom; another self-seeding poppy sharing its fleeting beauty; and lovely wooden planters in a local tea shop courtyard garden. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

A few bits of #TinyJoy from the last few days, at the tail end of #SmallBeautiesHour - know I've missed a bunch, but still plugging away, and appreciating everyone who contributes to the #ThreadOfGold #BecauseOfClem #naturelove

The new raised beds are ready, so we have enjoyed planting them up in the sunshine, this weekend. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #SmallBeautiesHour

#SmallBeautiesHour #smallbeauties #threadofgold #BecauseofClem Wildflowers and a huge, lovely crop of apples in our local park. And some iridescent tinsel sparkling in the sunshine, because why should tinsel only be for Christmas? We have it out all year round and the sunlight makes magic with it.

Evening BlueSky peeps. A bee on a sunflower for #SmallBeautiesHour tonight 🐝🌻💛 #threadofgold #BecauseofClem

I have successfully grown okra outdoors in the north east of England. Alas only two so far, but progress has been made on the crop of zero last year! 😀💚 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

Good evening Bluesky friends. Here is Bram and the Giant Rhubarb (in Valley Gardens, Harrogate). #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #SmallBeautiesHour

Evening BlueSky peeps. Visited Limekiln Gill Beach in Co Durham at the weekend. Very unusual vibe. Eerily beautiful. #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

Meanwhile at #rubbishbirdpics HQ, Chief Inspector Woodpigeon has gone slightly bonkers trying to gain access to the house. I've tried to reason with him that there is no bird seed left on the premises... #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #threadofgold

King of the castle. The pigeon proudly sitting on top of the bird feeder, surveying his kingdom (apologies if it is a queen surveying her queendom). #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold
