I follow accounts that post about art, gardening, music, nature, travel - you know, the good stuff of life ☺️

#RecipeOfTheDay is not pretty, not fancy, and not fashionable – and all the better for it! It’s Oxtail on Toast, a cosy source of reassurance and deep, deep joy. Not that the toast is obligatory: this richly flavoured oxtail is also gorgeous as a pasta sauce. www.nigella.com/recipes/oxta...

Kindness makes a difference.
It isn’t always simple, and some days you may not have the strength to give it.
