Feisty Blue Gecko (Philippa Ramsden)

Thank you! Apart from sheltering from the storm at the moment, I am having a good summer! I really enjoyed your poem in The Candyman's Trumpet ✨

Have a wonderful holibob, full of inspiration and sunrises 💙🦋

There are few more supportive members of the #poetrycommunity than @shamana58.bsky.social who definitely deserves a #lifttothesky

Two beautifully evoked memories from Marguerite Doyle today.

Oh gorgeous! And a wonderful peacock butterfly 🦋

Look forward to reading - it’s a treat receiving Starbeck Orion in my emails every day.

Thank you so much! I love the supportive and encouraging creative community here, great to connect with you.

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support, Carmella 🙏🏼xxx

Aaw thank you so much, Louise. It’s lovely to see your writing journey here too 💙

Quite delighted to have two poems in @blacknorereview.bsky.social today, looking ahead to the changing seasons in Scotland and further afield.

Thank you, Black Nore Review!

What a tender, beautiful read! I’m really enjoying your short stories and the insights you share about where the ideas and inspiration come from 💙

Coincidentally I started reading The Living Mountain yesterday so your post and stunning photo are particularly timely.

Glorious!

And in today’s Blueberry News 🗞️ 🫐 (yes I am a little blueberry obsessed at the moment, but how can you not be)

The first blueberry harvest of the year - fresh blueberries on my breakfast.
