Nelly, Rosie the Bat & Maximillian Mactavish

Thank you. 🙏🏻 A fabulous, chunky sweater of loveliness. X

Bonny belle 🧡

Thank you. Definitely seeing light. X🙏🏻

So wearying Ruth. Grief decides where & when to remind us that it is a long, sorrowful road. I hope this year ends with peace & joy for you. X🙏🏻

A fallen oak turned into a bench with elaborate carvings resembling oak leaves

The Blenheim Estate lost an oak, and as they like their fallen trees to remain in place to encourage wildlife, they asked artist Matthew Crabb to do his magic

It is SO debilitating & spirit sapping Donna. Hope you have respite soon. X🙏🏻

The best. X

Thanks a million. Not quite with it just yet. X🤍

I’m worse than useless Donna. Hoping it’s on the wane. X🙏🏻

Thank you Shirls. Hoping for brighter days & spirits raised. X

Thank you. What a wretched few months. X

I’m not worth knowing at present. I’ve booked a holiday in September & the anticipation of it is keeping me going. X

Oh, unbearable. I’m hoping that’s the end of it. Rosie & I have mostly been languishing in darkened rooms. X

Thank you. A testing time all told. X🙏🏻

Thank you. I’m only just starting to feel like myself Ruth. It’s been challenging. Hope you are well. X🙏🏻

I’ve not been in great shape of late. Mentally & physically low. Covid again & hoping I’m at the end of it. Rosie & Max, as ever, beloved & intuitive companions. X🖤

First Buddleia flowers this year.. a joy. 💜

North Berwick. East Lothian.

A few days on the East Lothian coast.. my beloved happy place. A joy to see gannets near the shore. 🤍

I’ve not been here much recently but hoping to amend that soon. X 🤍

Thank you. X💜

Perfection. 🤍

Happy National Day of Iceland! An Icelandic term of endearment, often used to describe an adorable baby or a cute puppy, is rúsínurassgat. It means “raisin-asshole.” And an even cuter Icelandic way to tell someone to go away is hoppaðu upp í rassgatið á þér. It means “go jump into your own asshole.”

Thank you. X🙏🏻
