sweet snapshots of the open gardens today 👒

It most certainly is ✔️🌞🌻

Great to be back in Plymouth over the weekend. Loved the digital display of children’s & young people’s competition entries for Surreal Estates at #BOXPlymouth ~ theme being to think about a special place & be inspired by Surrealist techniques. Particularly enjoyed the fab collage and video works 👏

Honiton today for work meeting ~ popped into Thelma Hulbert Gallery to look at the lovely garden and catch the James Ravilious photographs ~ particularly taken with the vibe of Miss Steele and Mrs Laperiere in Dolton, 1974

Up past our bedtime for @pilofficial.bsky.social Torquay

Back at the ranch… @paulxhearn.bsky.social 🩷

Made it into the sea early this morning after having to talk myself into it! Sea was cold, calm, and completely worth it. It felt like such an achievement, and I came out relaxed, and happy. The perfect Sunday start 🦦 🌞

Thanks Sarah! Didn’t they do well! 👍

We love Huey’s show 🩷

Leading into Mental Health Awareness week, teamed up with friend and colleague Kat Toomey to share a little Wish Tree activity at work. Learners and staff are invited to share what community means to them. Also a nudge to make space for self care over the weekend 🌞

Lovely holiday at home drawing to a close tomorrow ~ a week of gardening, reading, sewing, baking & day-trips; plus Easter Sunday bike tour around town 🌝 @paulxhearn.bsky.social

Enjoying the books at the Recycling Centre ✔️

Burton at Bideford Art Gallery & Museum always well worth the trip to North Devon. Enjoying Other Worlds: New Works from the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers exhibition. One fave being David Ferry’s colourful and curious digital print The Clairvoyant from the Village
