Migrating here from Twatter, step by step. Bluesky holds promise, a place where adults can still be civil when they disagree on a subject. A lost art, especially on Twatter. Empty vessels making the most noise is certainly being borne out more and more.
16 jars of spicy apple and walnut chutney later! I added in extra apples ... and ginger ... a lot of extra ginger. It may need a tad longer than usual to 'mellow' a bit. Will be ready by next Christmas. 😂😂😂 Luckily, I still have 8 jars left over from last year. 😂 #GrowYourOwn #apples #chutney

Still wading through my bumper apple crop, despite offloading more than half to many happy recipients. Time to make some spicy apple and walnut chutney. 😛 #GrowYourOwn #apples #chutney #preserves

Finally paid a visit to The Big Art Show, and delighted to see my 4 works in situ - the oil paintings of the 2 sparras and the 2 pieces of 'misery art' from the 'DESTRUCTION' series, 'The time for denial is over' and 'War on nature'. #art #TheBigArtShow #Scottishart

Being spoiled here with this lovely weather. No sign of it abating. 🤞 Great to work outside in weather like this and see the 🌱 growth accelerating around you.
The amelanchier and the forsythia are looking lovely today in full-bloom against a cloud-free sky. Perfection. #gardens #spring #blossom

Lovely 🌞 day, ideal for cleaning out and oiling the wood of the plant house, and getting it ready for young bedding plants. Or so I thought. His nibs moved in! Perfect cat conservatory according to him, so he refused to come out. 🤣🤣🤣 #cats #Bengalcat #notmycat #spring #Pitstop

Continuing with the theme. A bountiful supply of spring flowers in the garden at the moment continue to inspire me with some experimental work.

And they're off! The speed of growth is certainly accelerating now that there is a bit of warmth finally appearing, albeit not yet in the morning. As ever, the rhubarb is making early progress. #GrowYourOwn #Gardening

Continuing with my acrylics 'experiments'. Added in some gold metallic paint in the background. Quite like the shimmering effect when the light reflects off it. #acrylics #acrylicprint #Scottishart #art #Scottishartonline #womeninart #womenartists

THAT moment after you've been in the shed going through 2 toolboxes and 2 crates and discover you don't have any small, brass flat-head screws for attaching mirror plates. Every other screw available. Naturally. It's like the law of lightbulbs. 😑

Never seen this before, the seeds sprouting 'inside' the tomato. Apparently it's called 'vivipary'. Conflicting comments online about whether you can eat them. Potential for a dodgy tummy, so erred on the side of caution. A whole pack of tomatoes binned. 🫤

Haven't used acrylics for such a long time, so decided to rectify it. Treated myself to some fresh paints, and have been experimenting in the studio.
Quite pleased with the effects on this one. Unlike oils, the quick drying time is always such a bonus. #art

Given the increasingly grim weather here, consoling myself indoors with my new cookery book. Must be well over a decade since I last made seitan. Decided it was time to get a bit more creative and what better way to start than being instructed by a vegan chef, Skye Michael Conroy. #vegan #seitan
