Autumn Travel, Kyoko Imazu.

Painting a large brown rabbit sitting in a field of autumn leaves, looking up and to the left. A smaller rabbit is positioned in the foreground. Surrounding the rabbits are numerous small, dark, humanoid figures with animal-like features, some of which are floating in the air, while others are on the ground or interacting with the rabbits. A small house and a lighthouse are visible in the background.

Want some trivial, frivolous good news? There’s been a breakthrough in sunscreen technology and if you know anyone with polymorphic light eruption (posh name for being painfully allergic to the sun), tell them THIS ACTUALLY WORKS. I’ve tried everything over the years, this is a genuine game changer.

Help, help! I'm trapped in a *reads the museum panel* Cameo; onyx; irregular form; imperfect; mounted in enamelled gold pendant frame set with single garnet, 16th century, in an early 17th century frame! Heeeeeeeeelp! 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

Want more friends? A better social life? Be like my 85-year-old buddy Gerry

Friendship falters due to the belief it should just happen on its own. The solution: make a conscious effort to be social

So exciting to join the audience at The Word as Shore Lines sets sail for the first time this year! Four salty coastal tales beautifully told by Stephen Tomlin and Janine Birkett. Don't miss your chance to be transported to the seaside... Border Readers lay anchor in #Elsdon on Friday ⚓⛵🌊
