One day, went to Zumba.
Came home with Zumba, a tiny soaked cat.
Eight years ago, she arrived, classy and fierce.
Queen of days.

Think winter walks are miserable? They’re actually saving my sanity. Fresh air, filtered light, and unexpected fungi are keeping me going. Watch the video and tell me what keeps you grounded this time of year.

Vespertine, my urge to write. Draw. Bake. Even though I love the good light. It seems...my doings are nocturnal. I guess that's why I have an affinity with cats. Bats. And tall black hats.

Exposed tree root in a forest, growing above the ground in a curved shape and covered in bright green moss, with the photo taken through another blurred root in the foreground so the mossy root is framed by soft dark shapes and out-of-focus brown leaves.

Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail
across the sky
Are prettier far than these.

I really enjoyed this writer’s journey to meet Eyebright and found it to be inspiring. Many of us need to be almost hit in the head by a herb before it can get our attention, lol! #herbChat sacredgardener.ca/eyebright/

On the ferry, crossing the Firth of Clyde after a fantastic short break on Arran. We stayed in a brilliant vegan B&B - Stonewater House in Lamlash. Saw otters, red squirrels, eider, mergansers, many shore birds and woodland birds. A stunning place. share.google/AWcMAxYmL56h...
