The lambs in the field behind the house are gaining in confidence and now come right up to the garden fence, to feast on the longer, juicier grass. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛#SmallBeautiesHour

Been a while since I posted for #SmallBeautiesHour - trying to get back to more mindful things. And helped by yesterday's gorgeous weather. So here's a #ThreadOfGold maybe? #BecauseOfClem who encouraged much. #naturesbeauty#smallbeautieshour#becauseofclem#threadofgold#RightOutsideTheDoor

The sunshine has really brought on the trees in the garden. They are looking full of promise for the summer. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #smallbeautieshour

Remembering, as ever, on #MothersDay, all those children without their mums, and all the mums who have lost their precious children. Love and caring thoughts to you all ❤️ #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

It was the Tractor Run on the weekend. Here is a glimpse of a few of the 400+ tractors and other farm vehicles which graced the road between Knaresborough and Pateley Bridge, in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #SmallBeautiesHour

Some Welsh cakes cooking on the bake stone (a treat, yesterday, for St David’s day), and a timely display of daffodils. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #SmallBeautiesHour

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

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

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

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

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💛
