She ‘thought’ money grows on trees. What a rude awakening! 😂 It’s eaten by Apple instead. 🍎

It’s such a cringefest!

Looks lovely! ☺️

Lush! 🥰

I needed to buy a new ‘ashpan and brush’ the other day and was informed that is really old-fashioned! It’s a dustpan now, because who sweeps up ashes anymore?! (Except if you have an open fire!)

It will never be enough for them. The likes of you and I will never understand the mentality as we are programmed differently. But, in the meantime they are killing off all the simple stuff I love. 😞

Poor woman having to work so many hours for so long to make ends meet. A disgrace. Maybe Parliament and the bank should have doubled her pay and halved her hours to reward her hard work. But no, of course… they sacked her.

I love robins! ☺️

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula): The "Robin Redbreast" was given its nickname long before a distinction was made in the English language between "Red" & "Orange". Superb photo taken by Martina Olivia of this fluffy Robin taken in the UK. #robin #europeanrobin #robinredbreast #vird #birds #nature

Sadly these late stage capitalists are destroying the world. We are at the tipping point.

Emma Weird Wiltshire @weird-wiltshire.bsky.social · 6d

Profit is the number one. I’m so fed up with the greed.

Me too. But when I think about where to go (my fav option being NZ) I remember I am apparently ‘too old’. 😵‍💫😞

Thank you! 😊He is for my daughter really but I am chief groom.

Here’s a new member of the Weird Wiltshire family and I’ve told ‘Patchwork Pete’ we’re off to find an old hill fort at the weekend.
He’s ok with that if I provide apples as a snack! 🍎😁

Maybe it’s the traditional way, without power tools?

Emma Weird Wiltshire @weird-wiltshire.bsky.social · 8d

It’s a craft so yes, it needs to go on the list. It’s American future is in your hands. 🙌🏻 🙂

Maybe it’s a particular type of quilting? But hey, crochet blankets are the best (I have two current works-in-progress)!
