Delighted to commission renowned artist Lizzie Farey to create a pair of her willow swallows for us. It’s a wedding gift from my aunt and uncle. Here’s one she did last year. Lizzie’s based nearby in Kirkcudbright 🏴 #artwork

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️

A Welsh myth tells of Prince Llywelyn’s loyal hound, Gelert, slain when his master wrongly thought he’d harmed his child. In truth, he’d saved the baby from a wolf. Snowdrops are said to have bloomed on his grave, their white petals symbols of innocence & loyalty. #FolkloreSunday

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

Enjoy this tribute to orange 🧡 by @justsmudge.bsky.social Orange is one of my fav colours … possibly topped by turquoise… What’s yours?
The English word for the colour orange was saffron or yellow red until the 16th century.
When the Portuguese brought oranges to Europe from Asia 500 yrs ago, the 🍊 name was adopted for the colour too. So the orange is the original orange.
🌱🧡 Please enjoy the oranges from my garden 🧡 🌱

Love the mindfulness of this @clothofnature.bsky.social wildflower feed 🌾
On special days throughout the year, I record all the plants flowering in our meadow. Mindfully, I gather a single flower from every plant that can spare a bloom. This wild flower array is from one those special days, gathered in late September - 62 species 💚 #WildflowerHour #Wildflowers #Meadow

I help people find/reignite their spark for work, love, creativity or simply the pleasure of being alive. I do it through a quirkily unique combination of #coaching, #tarot and joie de vivre 😄 I’m currently creating an #oracle deck ‘Find Your Spark’ and will share cards with you here. Do say hi 👋
