I just joined the @greenparty.org.uk because I think Zack Polanski is right - the way to counter right wing populism is progressive populism. Needless to say I #BackZack (pic is called Shades of Green)

Day 9 of #create365 more prep - I’m not putting off collaging, but for various reasons this week it’s not ideal. So I’m sorting my materials- first sort - general garden/flower pics/more topic specific ones. Second sort: soil/people/action/produce/misc & then I found a handy folder to put it all in.

Day 7 of #create365 sometimes creative projects involve a lot of boring prep! Preparing the remaining 7 roundels for the eco hub project- probably won’t get started on these until next week but at least it’s all fun collaging from here on in! The theme is the wellbeing benefits of gardening.

Day 2 of #create365 - where are you on the 2025 hope-ometer? So far 2025 is not exceeding my expectations!
Key:
1 no hope
2 pessimistic
3 fed up
4 could go either way
5 cautiously optimistic
6 optimistic
7 everything is going to be fabulous
You’d never think I used to be an optimist!

Brave little Bertha came to us in March from Battersea Old Windsor. She mostly hid behind the sofa, our first walk back in the spring was a disaster but now she’s on her third walk of the week (only have pics of the 1st when I wasn’t holding the lead). Progress for #BerthaFromBattersea #rescuedogs

I use references when I have an image in my head but then am not sure of technical details - this picture of a theatrical rabbit about to go out of a trap door started with a very different mechanism until I researched it!

Plus the allotment- some people seem to stop going in the winter but I’ve got a massive list of tasks (including weeding all that grass) - new raspberry canes just planted
