The beautiful Seven Springs at the village of Bisley in Gloucestershire. The wonder of water. I should have taken a video, the sound of running water x 7 was amazing. /|\

Spring cleaning at home and I found some magical sticks from the very beginning of my deep wandering almost a decade ago, inscribed with my intentions: beginning, silence, threshold, drift, welcome. I carry these gifts with me still. /|\

There really is no reason not to.
There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Just binge-listened to R4's The Island on iPlayer. Entertaining, but for the discomfort of having @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com as the arch-baddy. Ew! Noooo!
(Curious - did they have to get permission from the real people whose names were taken in vain?)

Bluesky keeps me posted about what's happening in the US like nothing else does. You poor sods. It's terrifying for the whole world and I so feel for my American friends. ♥️

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

Are there any actual Socialists in the Labour government? If so, please can they do something. Anything ! I'm embarrassed to have voted for them, the way things are going.

Rachel Reeves holds newts in contempt, it seems.
So I thought I'd post this glorious painting of a "lion of the duckweed" by Jackie Morris + my paean to these "kings of the pond", both from The Lost Words.

Hope feels very scarce right now.
Here's some, though: the story of the River Klamath's de-damming––& the speed with which life has poured back to this "bountiful, beautiful watershed" once the water was freed.
A river, re-imagined.
