Socialist witch in a patriarchal, capitalist construct. Feline enabler. Writes. Grows stuff, eats it. Communes with megaliths. Married to the moon. Some whimsy.
Calendula/Marigold, one of those under-rated plants, a bit old school but a burst of cheerfulness even at this time of year, spreads prolifically and overwinters in #yorkshire. Helps to feed the early bees. Totally edible and great medicinal benefits. Dig up your lawn. Plant a garden to sustain you.

The old blackbird wasn’t on top form yesterday, a rescue of at least 16 years old, maybe more, so her #caturday picture is a day late. She concurs that time is an artificial construct, so no worries and that means feeding time is now whenever she feels.

Titchy bedroom window view. 1st of February. Full moon in Leo. The final shed of the snake. #imbolc tomorrow

Almost #Imbolc and yes it’s still cold and/or wet and dreary but the light is creeping back and the days lengthening slowly. There are catkins in the hedgerows and green shoots of bulbs managing to push up through the earth. #nature persists

Tired out from 60 seconds of recumbant play. I’m just pleased this January #caturday is providing a nice sun spot for her.

The old kitten’s paws are tucked. It’s cold. Happy #caturday

Someone mentioned that her foot looked like a mermaid tail, so I made a print of her on bubble paper. A bit messy, but I love the textures and movement.

Titchy bedroom window view. A strange sky. It seems to become light or dark at such varying times. It feels I no longer know the paradigm

A hard frost in wintery #yorkshire even the little duck on my car bonnet is nithered. Shame the #chemtrails are cutting the blue sky.

A month ago I was swimming in the warm Atlantic Ocean in the early morning for 2 hours daily. I’m now classing bending down to switch the heater on as a work out. I am not made for winter in the northern hemisphere.

No sun on this Sunday but I see from the titchy bedroom window view the magpie family are enjoying the snow. I will tidy and clean and write and work. Not a day for leaving the house for me.

#fullmoon in nurturing cancer with a gorgeous halo. It was -2 here last night with windchill making it feel like -10. I’ve woken to bright low winter sun but I doubt I’ll leave the house today #yorkshire

Hard to believe a FIFA Peace Prize laureate would do this.

Put away some #Yule garb, I’m not precious about timing. It felt right to renew and I’m not a fan of the Gregorian calendar. I do like #springtime however. Catkins and daffodils. Bring it. I’m enjoying the quality of light shadows provided by the low winter sun #pagan #yorkshire

Enjoying a few minutes of restorative birdsong with the usual suspects for the time of year and a couple of black headed gulls. #nature #healing #solfeggiofrequencies #yorkshire
