a small child in a lion costume and a person in a large lion mascot suit high-fiving. The child, on the left, is wearing a red York City shirt, blue and white shorts, and light blue trainers. They are holding a red lollipop in their right hand and reaching out their left hand to touch the mascot's paw. The mascot, on the right, is kneeling and wearing a red York City shirt, blue shorts, white socks, and black trainers. The mascot's paw is large and furry with black pads.

Best day for my little Yorkie! Esme’s first game at the LNER, watching York beat Halifax 4-1 ❤️💙

Side note: Definitely meet your heroes 🦁

A side-profile shot of a child sitting on a woven, beige cushion, wearing a York City FC kit and a large, plush lion head mask with a bushy brown mane. They are holding a light gray textured blanket, and the background shows a softly blurred indoor setting with a doorway and a plant.

Esme is in her Yorkie era ❤️💙

On the left is a pink card featuring a large, layered snowflake in white and teal. A pink number "3" is centered on the snowflake, and the name "Esme" is displayed below in a stylized, bubbly pink and teal font, flanked by two small teal snowflakes. On the right is a circular cake topper featuring the yellow Transformers Autobot logo on a black background. The name "Henry" is written at the bottom in a blocky, yellow robotic-style font, and a yellow number "6" is attached to the top right. The topper is supported by a thin wooden dowel.

Current obsessions in our house are clear when it comes to birthdays 🥰
Having a lot of fun with this year’s makes! ⛄️🤖

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a person using a white stylus to design a digital birthday card on a tablet. The screen shows a colorful graphic that reads "Happy Birthday" in playful, multi-colored block letters, with the name "Lillie" written in white cursive inside a blue bubbly shape decorated with a small yellow crown and the number "3." The background is a cozy, softly blurred living room featuring a dark wood-burning stove, a patterned rug, and a basket of toys.

Trying to reignite my creative flame this week 🌈👩🏼‍🎨

I have officially entered the “Frozen” stage of having a daughter ☃️

Note to self: make time for this kind of thing. Next time…

Gutted I’ve not had the time/energy/motivation to sit and design one myself.

Hmm. Just me or is there a heavy scent of AI here?

Excited that Esme will be celebrating her 3rd birthday at the LNER 🥰
She’s a seasoned away supporter, but this will be her first home game ❤️💙

Christmas cake feeding time 😍

I was made redundant from my (perfect) job in October, and now it’s time for my CV to do its thing!
❤️ Positive vibes welcome ❤️

wide-angle photo captures a tranquil scene on a bright, clear day. The foreground is dominated by the still, deep blue water of a river or lake, perfectly reflecting the steep bank opposite. This bank consists of a dramatic, light-colored cliff face of layered rock, partially obscured by dense, mostly deciduous woodland and shrubs. Perched atop the cliff and the surrounding greenery are several houses, ranging from large, light-colored residences on the left to smaller, red-brick homes on the right. The sky above is a clear, brilliant blue. The reflection of the cliff, trees, and houses is sharp and vivid on the water's surface.

Enjoyed the sunny sky in Chepstow earlier, with the tide about to turn. Always nice when the Wye doesn’t look brown 🫠

A close-up of a person relaxing on a sofa, wearing blue jeans and white socks, with their feet propped up. They are holding a book titled "FINAL: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE DEATH OF A FOOTBALL GROUND" by TONY COLE. The book's bottom half shows a black-and-white photograph of tall grass and daisies.

Quiet half hour.
Cup of tea.

Bootham Crescent holds so many memories for me. Thank you, Tony for documenting these last days.
I may have something in my eye.
❤️💙

Great addition. Enjoying these! 😊

A close-up, angled photo of a decorative fabric banner with a gray background patterned with small, repeating rainbows. The banner is embellished with various appliquéd and embroidered elements, including dark gray felt shapes resembling small rocks, a rhinestone-covered glitter patch shaped like a sparkling rock, and text elements. The word "STONE" is visible in shiny, dark green glitter lettering, and parts of other words are also visible in a peachy-pink yarn-like material and another section of glitter lettering. The bottom corner of the banner is neatly hemmed and lies on a lighter gray, textured carpet

Please take a moment to appreciate the best top stitching I have ever done.

An image of a retro, 8-bit style TV screen showing football scores. The background is black, and the text is bright green, blue, and yellow. At the top left, it says Telescore 313.

Keep the faith ❤️💙

Taking the mini rainbow chasers to Yeovil ❤️💙 #ycfc

Please add me to the list of people after a copy of Home End (no idea how I don’t have a copy!) 😊

coming out of hibernation to say “wtf?!” 🫠

A toddler with light hair is seen from above, looking down at a tablet. The tablet screen shows a person on stage with musical equipment, bathed in an orange light. The child is wearing a light-colored, striped shirt and headphones around their neck.

Esme happily watching @shedsevenofficial.bsky.social Glastonbury set 👌🏻🌈
1000 parent points 🏅

Feeling the cut from this departure. Henry’s first favourite player, and we wouldn’t be where we are without him ❤️💙

A colorful assortment of fabrics, including a folded white and rainbow striped crochet cardigan, a light blue fabric with watermelon slices, a dark blue fabric with robots and motorcycles, a purple fabric with a fairy and mushrooms, a white fabric with rainbows and cherries, and a pink fabric with hedgehogs and flowers.

Serious wardrobe envy.
Esme’s festival clothes for the weekend are👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
(also…Vinted finds for the win) 💚

It’s going to be a long day 🫠

Another belter of an episode 👌🏻Bit excited.

A flat lay of a "design your own t-shirt" kit. The kit includes a folded white t-shirt secured with a purple paper band and a circular tag that reads "design your own t-shirt" with small illustrations. Several stencils in different shapes (hearts, the letter E, a star, and a scalloped edge) and a set of paintbrushes wrapped in a purple paper band are arranged around the t-shirt on a light blue surface.

A close-up shot of a birthday card lying on a surface decorated with rainbows and suns. The card is white and features a colorful, hand-drawn style rainbow across the top. Below the rainbow, in a playful, multicolored font, are the words "Happy Birthday Emilia".

Spending hours making gifts is my love language 💝

A low-angle shot captures a vibrant display of light pink roses in full bloom and budding, set against a brilliant blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The roses, attached to a climbing vine with lush green leaves, occupy the right side and bottom left of the frame. A portion of a light-colored wooden structure is visible in the upper right corner. A thin, dark wire stretches across the upper left quadrant of the sky. The overall impression is one of a beautiful summer day showcasing the delicate beauty of the roses against a clear sky.

Another excellent show from the roses this year 👌🏻

A close-up shot shows a person's hand holding a green zine titled "Y Front: An Alternative Independent Look At All Things York City, Issue #53 £3". The cover features a black and white photograph of the band "THE SMALL FACES" with the text "All Or Nothing" above them. Below the photograph, smaller text reads "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance", "Jason McGill Hero Or Villain", and "Against Modern Football". A drawing of a football jersey with a large "Y" on it is printed at the top right of the zine. The background is blurred but shows a sunny outdoor scene with green grass, a blue inflatable pool, and a house in the distance. The hand holding the zine appears to be resting on a blue surface.

Another excellent read @yfrontfanzine.bsky.social 👌🏻
Impressed that I managed to read it the same week it was delivered for once!

A young child with short brown hair, wearing a black shirt and a red apron, is intently painting a white t-shirt that is lying flat on a table covered with a patterned tablecloth featuring rainbows and suns. The child is holding a paintbrush with their right hand, carefully applying orange paint to a design on the shirt that includes a unicorn's head and stars outlined in glitter. Their left hand rests on the t-shirt to steady it.

A close-up shot shows a white t-shirt lying on a patterned tablecloth. The t-shirt features a hand-painted design of a pink unicorn head with a dark green glitter horn and a flowing mane of vibrant colors including pink, red, yellow, blue, and green, also outlined in glitter. Several glittery stars in various colors like pink, blue, and green are painted around the unicorn. The tablecloth underneath has a whimsical pattern of rainbows and suns.

After school crafting with Henners 🥰 He loved painting a t-shirt. Can recommend! 👌🏻
