Cancer Nurse 💙. Love walking my dog Archie, baking and growing vegetables and flowers 🌱. No dm's.
Working today so missed the sunset. The magpies are nest building, as seen from the ward window, so not a bad view to end 2026. Hoping the new year brings you hope, laughter and more gardening shenanigans #HappyNewYear #Nature

2025 was a challenging year as not only did the #BlueSkies keep coming, I also broke my elbow at the start of June. I found dead heading roses to be good physio and DA Claire Autin was definitely floriferous. Now the veggies are still giving and it all feels so worth while #GardensHour

At last the rain stopped this afternoon and we managed a lovely stroll around front park and gardens @nationaltrust.org.uk Killerton. Beautiful Christmas tree, simply elegance #trees #WellBeing

Kirstie Macleod and 380 embroiderers from around the world have made this exquisite 'Red Dress'. Every stitch has a story or vision. On show @nationaltrust.org.uk Killerton along with the festive decorations. Well worth a visit. #Craft #NeedleWork #Sewing

Another English Oak for #ThickTrunkTuesday with what I believe to be a 'Bracket fungi', although happy to be corrected. #Trees #Photography #Fungi

I find comfort in the rhythm of the changing seasons and as my garden fades, dwarf iris bulbs planted last month bring new hope #GardensHour

There is no need to use peat in horticulture when alternatives are available.

Please sign the petition, and email your MP to act now.

Thank you.

No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

Bright but chilly today in Devon. Raspberries have gone over so #Archie assuming his usual not interested gardening position 🙄 #DogsOfBluesky #Spaniels

Ancient tree from @nationaltrust.org.uk Killerton. I wonder who lives in there...? #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #EnglishOak

This is a new vegetable bed. It's taken three years of layering cardboard and compost to get here. Garlic's up, 🤞 #GardensHour
