Please tell me I’m not alone in obsessing over the mushroom joy this autumn!

While I am in the bathroom in the mornings, Lupin lies on the cushion. Today the ginger one had annexed the sofa so he folded himself up as tiny as he could get and looked the other way the whole time. My heart!

Autumn is playing a blinder this year! I keep stopping and gasping at the beauty of it all in my walks with Lupin.
I’ve spent the day sorting the layout of my stand at #gnccfmcr25 Knackered now but glad to have an idea of what can fit where! Only a week till I’ll be packing the car to go eek.

Making a last few pieces for GNCCF Manchester and couldn’t resist a large autumn hare, complete with a handwoven basket of copper and ceramic magical hare eggs

I saw a hare in the garden today. They said to pass on greetings from the wild woods

Nature notes: shrews are very fond of sketching their surroundings and can often be seen carrying a small cushion with them to sit on whilst drawing.

(And yes I did make a teeny tiny sketch book and teeny tiny pencil with actual lead in it - come and see at GNCCF Manchester 16-19Oct )

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

🚨 Consultation survey launched on whether trans people should be able to access Hampstead Heath ladies' pond following Supreme Court ruling

The consultation is open until 12:00 on Tuesday 25th November 2025.

Hurrah it is Wednesday and the weasels are dancing. A bit of a chilled mellow vibe to ease us into October with The Stereophonics. Dance like a weasel you know you want to! #weaselwednesday
