I've just used Good Law Project's tool to email MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats.

Some tell that at Imbolc the Cailleach goes out to collect firewood. If she wishes winter to stay longer, she makes the day sunny & bright so she can gather plenty more firewood, but if she is ready for spring, the day is cloudy and grey
There will be a small collection of creatures on 31st Jan

Lupin and I went for a walk in the woods. Deep far off the tracks we came across a clump of snowdrops completely hidden from human eyes. I expect the mice enjoy them.
Imbolc collection is coming soon

Arctic hare carries a talisman of a copper cast of the first snowdrop petal. They hope it will help waken the slumbering earth and return spring to us once again.

Bert got his flower seed order from Ben and Flash at @higgledygarden.bsky.social today. (Thanks!)
I told Bert we were hopefully moving soon so didn’t need seeds till we knew where we were going but he said that it would make the garden pretty for the new people and you can’t argue with that!

Mouse has been buying more wool from the Mouse Emporium, and now they are in their way home to cosy up and knit and drink tea for the rest of the day.
Living the dream, little Mouse, living the dream.

I hope you are all safe after the storm last night! We escaped the snow here but Lupin and I found some on our walk up tue hill. We also found this little mouse wrapped up warm in their new scarf.

Have you looked outside to seen the moon? Isn’t it beautiful! The full Wolf Moon is tonight.
The Northland Small paused on their journey to their new home to stop and look and let out a quiet howl of joy to the North Wind. Perhaps you might like to join them with a little howl too?
