Hello Bluesky. We're new here. We'll share ideas, guidance, and opinions from innovative thinkers, authors, and campaigners, as well as veggie recipes and extracts from exciting new books.
We're big on pausing to notice the little things. So expect moss, plucky plants and seasonal loveliness too.

In the cracks of concrete, where life finds a way,
Little treasures emerge, brightening the day.
Wall moss like soft cushions, a whimsical sight,
Pavement plants popping up, what pure delight! (1/2)
