I stumbled upon this poem of hers about 25 years ago and have never forgotten it. Beautiful 💔❤️

I don't (even) have a dog but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. It's informative, enlightening and written with great warmth and humour. Highly recommended!

That reminded me of this one of mine from a couple of years ago, which called to mind images of a bonnet-clad Jane Austen character... 😄🌻

I spotted this one a couple of weeks ago. 🦇 (I was standing in my back garden in south-east London)

I saw this wonderful installation in Southwark Cathedral yesterday - 'Peace Doves' by the sculptor Peter Walker. A collection of messages of peace, hope and love from visitors, schoolchildren and members of the cathedral community, each one written on a single paper dove. Beautiful. ❤️🕊

Not so much of the blackbird singing in this clip, but a little more of the bat... (He was very hard to keep up with!) 🦇😊

I stood still for a moment yesterday evening to listen to the blackbird singing, and spotted this guy flying around... 🦇🎶😊
