My 2 year old cyclamen didn’t flower last winter but after drying it outside again during its 2nd summer it was a lovely surprise to see flowering buds last month. Thought you might like to see it, Michael @mtgallagher.bsky.social

My 7am morning walks are usually dark and gloomy in winter - but this clear, frosty morning was magical. 2nd pic is my return, 30 minutes later

Just in - a very thoughtful Amazon review of my latest novel The Friday Friendship Club. I'm particularly thrilled that Selena's synaesthesia is given a mention as it's a key part of her character. 🥰

At first glance, Cat Court seems like an ordinary children’s picture book about naughty cats. But what M.A. Quigley has done here is more layered than a cat’s mood swing. This isn’t a mere tale about felines being silly—it’s a subtle, structured classroom.

I like the contrast with Creswell Crags which has had human occupancy for over 50,000 years with the very modern jet vapour trail above.
