Hello!
It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business.
My online shop is full of unique Christmas gift ideas.

Sunday Afternoon in Blue.
Oil on fine canvas 52 x 43 cm

A sleepy self portrait. I was lucky enough to be long listed for the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait prize in 2023 with this one and the Society of Women Artists show this summer at the Mall galleries. (Currently available)

Sturgeon’s friend Swinney has been left to clean up the mess created by her obsession with identify politics….The lanyards are fraying now…But women are still dying prematurely because of their sex. That is Nicola Sturgeon’s enduring legacy. Me in @TheScotsman

As SNP government contradicts itself over ‘pregnant men’, the real gender scandal goes unnoticed
Women earn less than their male counterparts, will have a smaller pension and may even be denied life-saving medicine – all because of their sex

Scottish Government KC says straight males who ID as trans without a GRC are straight but with a GRC are lesbians.
Absurd.
For Women Scotland KC says problem with the Scottish Government’s approach is not that they downgrade women's rights but that they ignore them.

Brrr! With temperatures plunging, here's how we can help wildlife weather the cold. ❄️
This winter scene depicts a snowy garden transformed into a wildlife haven. A snow-laden tree with a nestbox and a Blue Tit perched nearby illustrates the importance of providing shelter. Hanging nearby is a suet feeder to provide an energy boost in cold conditions. On the right, a bare branch with bright red berries highlights how fruit-bearing shrubs and trees offer a natural winter feast. Below, a pile of logs and leaves, emphasises how leaving these natural elements provide essential cosy hiding spots for small mammals. To the left, a bird drinks from a shallow dish of water kept ice-free and topped up, ensuring a vital source of hydration. Finally, a blackbird is shown foraging on a patch cleared of snow, demonstrating how such efforts can help birds find food during harsh conditions.

Getting ready for my first Christmas market so I'm all stocked up. Wanted to do an offer before I (hopefully!) sell out... all my prints are 20% off just for today and tomorrow.
Use the code 'AllStockedUp'
(and please wish me luck for my first big market!)

I refuse to be ‘chased’ off of Twitter but may well gradually migrate… hence this is my first post back on here in quite sometime.

This is my favourite view of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. I cycle past it almost everyday and enjoy how the view changes throughout the year.
