Boiler remains unfixed (🥶) but the sun is shining and there’s a rainbow on my bookshelf #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy
A bookshelf full of books about folklore, the middle section stacked horizontally, with trinkets and Her Winter Song by Anna Vaught displayed on top. There is a rainbow reflection split across the right side of Her Winter Song and the top of the spine on Wild by Amy Jeff’s, the red-orange-yellow-green on Her Winter Song and the blue-purple on Wild.

Boiler has gone from not entirely doing what it’s supposed to do but still functioning to … not. Happy Tuesday to me!

Another layer of snow fell in the night #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy
My back garden at dawn, the now covering everything so that you can’t delineate between lawn and path and patio. The trees and hedges are white topped too as are the roofs of the houses beyond. The sky is glowing yellow on the left half of the horizon and the rest is a powder blue.

It’s snowing! And the resident magpie - who you can’t see as they’re hiding in the hedge but can very much hear - is not amused. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy

Another dusting of snow overnight, complemented by a pink-cloud smattered sunrise. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy
My back garden, viewed from my bedroom window. The lawn, paths and decking are thinly covered in white snow, as are the very tops of the trees and hedge and the roofs of the houses visible beyond the garden. The sky is pale blue with a hint of purple and the horizon is scattered with clouds that are glowing pink with warm grey edges. The sun has risen just out of view on the left of frame, turning that part of the horizon brilliant gold.

It’s a light fall only, tiny flakes like icing dusting a cake, but it’s still snow. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy
My back garden, lawn paths and decking mottled white with the tiny amount of snow that fell. The house roofs beyond the hedge are also white and the sky is that brittle bright blue that often signifies snow and cold. The rising sun, just out of shot in the left of the frame, has turned that patch of sky pale yellow.

The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'

Hooklanders have many names for twilight. Among my favourites are 'the blue hour' – capturing the sky's long-stretching towards bruise – and 'rook rest'. The latter holds part of my practice. I love to stand before wood edge at rook rest and here their gossip of the dying day. – #EmilyCBanting

My final #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy offerings of 2025 are photos from my dawn New Year’s Eve walk through Attingham Park. It was beautiful despite the bitter cold. You get to experience it without the frost nipped fingers, nose and toes! We start where the path meets the River Tern:
1/6
Dawn, just before sunrise, over the River Tern at Attingham Park. River gleams silver in frosted banks, mist drifts across the frosted fields beyond and the sky is an ombré of pastels, gold between the hills where the sun is about to come up, fading upwards through yellow, to blue, to pink on the right and purple on the left Another dawn shot across the river, sky gilded gold, the river banks and fields silver white with frost and mist. Close up of an oak in the frosted field beyond the river, mist drifting all around, firs visible on the far hills in grey silhouette against the golden dawn View up river, away from the dawn lit east. The river is mirroring the trees on the banks and in the grey-pink sky are two ravens in flight

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Okay let’s talk about Richard Norman Shaw, who gave us this delightful mess and spearheaded an entire revolution in English domestic architecture

The bought-for-boxing-day puzzle is complete!
A circular puzzle, the circle split into 12 segments, each titled with a month of the year. Every segment is illustrated with birds you’d typically see in each month, with the bird’s name written next to it. The types of birds include fieldfare, heron, blackbird, cuckoo, swallow, guillemot, nightjar, hobby, jay, tawny owl, brambling and robin.

So I need to start proper #StrengthTraining or #ResistanceTraining as I’m on HRT and my muscle and bone strength need more care than I’m currently giving them.
I cannot afford gym/personal trainer. I have no space/funds for large equipment. Any suggestions for what I should do/use, lovely people?
