Small joys. The world may be blowing up around us, but this week I have taken my grandson on his first holiday and sat with him on his first trip to a beach. This Mamgu is feeling very grateful.

Me, in jeans and an orange shirt sitting holding my 6 month old grandson in a beach shelter. We are both looking at the camera.

O no, this auction is nearly at £100, which is great for charity, but really puts the pressure on my left-handed-ass to write it NICELY.

As part of this auction for trans rights I'm selling off handwritten copy of my poem Jesus At The Gay Bar.

I promise to use nice paper and a fountain pen and my best handwriting and everything.

Most of the rights we have today have come through people questioning the law.

@feministtheology.bsky.social thank you for my goodies! Really looking forward to reading the book. My very dyslexic husband thought the t-shirt said Fantastic Theology Network, which would also be true 🙂

Was just chatting to my husband this morning about the last time either of us had a pain-free day. Neither of us could remember 😭

We all know the benefits to pollinators of not mowing in Spring, but the beauty it brings is such a bonus too.
