Wildlife loves a messy garden, right?
I’m writing this post because Sophie Lucido Johnson said she wanted to see pictures of my garden, so here we are!

“I wrote verses about love and sleighbells.” A poem by Margaret Atwood.
LATER IN BELLEVILLE: CAREER Once by a bitter candle of oil and braided rags, I wrote verses about love and sleighbells which I exchanged for potatoes; in the summers I painted butterflies on a species of white fungus which were bought by the tourists, glass- cased for English parlours and my children (miraculous ) wore shoes. Now every day I sit on a stuffed sofa in my own fringed parlour, have uncracked plates (from which I eat at intervals) and a china teaset. There is no use for art.

🚨 Giant Cat Sighting in Manchester!

A 10-metre-long feline has taken up residence at Manchester Museum- and it’s very asleep. 😴

The Cat That Slept for a Thousand Years is a family-friendly exhibition, and it's free (you just need to book online!)

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.

And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA
