A February #smallbeauty lili-wen-fach ~ Eiryls ~ snowdrop. They are such a joy... raindrops on snowdrops and whiskers on otters...there were some wild geese flying at dusk, but no moon on their wings... #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Quack! Quack! Happy #smallbeautieshour everyone… #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

9 years ago today, I lost my beautiful 21-year-old son, Clem. The ache never fades, but neither does the light he brought. He lived with open-hearted kindness & inclusion, & #ThreadOfGold exists to keep spreading those values in his memory. Miss you every day, Clem #BecauseOfClem💛

Evening Bluesky peeps. The first bud on my bulbs appeared just in time for Imbolc yesterday 🌱💚 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

A wet and woolly sheep #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

At last, a little sniff of spring in the garden #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

The River Nidd in the mist, earlier today… #smallbeautieshour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

Evening Bluesky peeps. Chief Inspector Woodpigeon is hunkering down and waiting for Spring here at #RubbishBirdPics HQ 🩵 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

We had the pleasure of taking this big lad out for a couple of walks over the weekend (the sausage dogs weren’t overly impressed) #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #smallbeautieshour

Some winter colour… #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛#smallbeautieshour

#SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold cold but sparkly

Evening Bluesky peeps. For #SmallBeautieshour a walk in the January mist, skeletal trees and hedgerows and an iced-over puddle slowly thawing out. Very atmospheric 💙 #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Putting on comfy clothes and snacking on chocolate after a long drive #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Lindisfarne also produced some top notch opportunities for a few #RubbishBirdPics 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

There haven't been many #SunlightThroughTrees days so far in 2026, so my #SmallBeautiesHour are a heated throw and cosy socks and delicious coffees from Christmas present beans; daydreaming about brighter days for they will come #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Spotted on our frosty walk...a field of Sheep and Peacocks!!!! 😲 This is a first for #RubbishBirdPics 😂 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Knit going out #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Eating pears poached in cider and spices... Seeing a flock of, now rare here, lapwings and hearing their peewit call...or is that a big beauty? More than 24 hours later still full of the joy. And so many reed buntings. Sun on reeds. #SmallBeautieshour #smallbeauties #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

The little dog has been very poorly, so B has made sure he’s had plenty of love to aid his recovery #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #SmallBeautiesHour

For the final #SmallBeautiesHour of 2025, here is a basket of smaller ammonites, and a single giant ammonite from Lyme Regis… all seen at the amazing Stump Cross Cavern, earlier today. Wishing you all a very happy 2026 #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

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💛

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🧡

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💛
