I've risked putting a couple of scarves out on the line... but how long before it rains again and I need to haul them back inside?

The weather is horribly temperamental this morning- rain one second, fair the next. So I'm drying some of my Age Of Reason silk scarves on an impromptu line in my studio. It makes a nice change to have such a colourful backdrop.

I once gave one of my grandchildren creme de cassis thinking it was just like Ribena.... (but they probably slept better than your own grandkids did that night)

My dad used to keep pigs prior to WWII- when he had to sell his herd and sign up. He was very fond of his pigs, but always said never imagine that they wouldn't eat you given half a chance. They'll eat their own babies if they're stressed.

My potter husband @pottedhistory.bsky.social has a replica Roman kiln at Vindolanda, which he fires periodically. So we've often had cause to visit that section of The Wall.

I'm almost jealous of someone experiencing it for the first time! Bamburgh never gets old for me.

We had some people move into our village- into a house just across the fence from the riverside playpark- which caters for younger children. Then complain about the "noise" of children playing. (They got very short shrift here!)

"Happy Memories". This new small painting is based on a photograph I didn't know I had..... me walking towards Sycamore Gap- before the iconic tree there was felled.

It's been a window rattling, chimney moaning night here in Rothbury... And now it's grey and restless outside- if not actually raining.

Both women had great comic timing.
