Holding out for those post-5pm sunsets. One more week 🙌🏼
Sunset over the River Dee in Chester. The sky at the horizon is orange, fading out to pink and blue. The bare branches of the trees on the banks are silhouetted against the sky. The water reflects the sky and the trees.

Today marks my three-year anniversary @dataorchard.org.uk 🥳 this one has definitely been the busiest but also most exciting year. I progressed to a new job role, led my own projects for the first time, and travelled nationally and internationally to work with some of our lovely clients in person...
A beautiful soft pink sunset and bright full moon rising over the orchard and silhouetted hills in the distance outside Data Orchard's HQ in Herefordshire - taken at the end of my first day at Data Orchard in January 2022.

Snap! 🤩
Ruby pony is stood side-on, silhouetted against the oranges and blues of the sunset and the snow on the fields. She's pushing the snow aside with her muzzle to graze on the grass beneath.

A dreamy snowy visit to Ruby Two ❄️🍂
Ruby, a fluffy dark brown pony is nibbling on blades of grass in the small patches where the snow has started to melt off. A low-angle view of the sun setting over a snowy field. The snow is starting to melt in small patches so that it looks like a carpet of clouds. An oak tree silhouetted against the sky as the sun sets with an orange glow on the horizon. The tree still has some golden brown autumn leaves. There is a sprinkling of snow among the branches and on the ground behind the tree.

I would say it is a threat to all Hannahs rather than a welcome and I heed that warning. Here is me keeping a distance from a shoebill in Uganda (the one day I forgot my proper camera 😢)
I'm standing in long green grass in a swamp in Uganda with blue skies overhead, wearing field gear and binoculars round my neck and smiling at the camera. In the distance behind my head is a tall grey blob which I promise is a shoebill stork. A poor quality zoomed-in phone picture of the shoebill stork, which is slightly more identifiable. It stands out clearly above the long grass.

My photos app just reminded me it was 4 years ago today that we brought Ruby home. Here's her "poor waif" adoption advert photo vs now, cosied up at the foot of the bed. She's an opinionated, goofy, sensitive princess and we love her very much 💖 #AdoptDontShop #RescueCat #ProofOfCat
A poor quality photo of Ruby, a black and white short-haired cat, with her feet up on the glass of her rescue pen door, looking plaintively at the camera. Ruby lying at the foot of the bed on a leaf-patterned duvet in warm lamplight.

I'll be posting about data, particularly in relation to the nonprofit sector, as well as wider issues of social justice, nature, books, and animals - especially my two senior rescue cats, Ruby and Tiny, and the horse I loan... also Ruby (aka Ruby Two). (4/5)
Ruby, a short-haired black and white cat and Tiny, a short-haired black cat are both lying on a navy blue sofa in a living room. They are catching the rays of sun that are streaming in through the blinds on the bay window behind them. They are both laid in exactly the same position facing opposite ways: on a diagonal with paws outstretched, enjoying the warmth. Ruby Two is a brown pony with black legs, mane and tail (this colour is called "bay" in equestrian lingo, and her breeding is Connemara pony crossed with a Thoroughbred). She is standing in a grassy field in the sunshine with bright blue skies overhead. She is looking towards the camera with pricked ears.

I'm being very well prepared this year as I'm travelling prior to Christmas. We have found some lovely goodies in the local charity shops and Ruby is delighted that the wrapping paper is out
Ruby, a shorthaired black and white cat, is curled up in a box of wrapping and tissue paper. She is looking up at the camera with a somewhat smug expression

Introducing Ruby, my loan pony, who is becoming an adorable fuzzy bear ready for winter. #HorsesOfBluesky #EqSky
A fluffy pony looking towards the camera while standing next to the hay rack in her field. She is dark brown with black legs, mane and tail, and a small white spot on her forehead.

Today is one of those days in the countryside when there are tiny spiders EVERYWHERE. Every fence post looks like this and you get a constant stream of webs across your face (and spiders on your coat) everywhere you walk. Is there method in this madness #NatureSky? #UKnature
A wooden fence post in a grassy field with at least 25 tiny black spiders on it

A friend reminded me of this perfect @nikitagill.bsky.social poem yesterday and I've been trying to hold it close.
Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don't have to believe in everything, but I believe in that. - Nikita Gill

I just finished How To Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair and highly recommend it. The writing is beautiful, and Safiya's story is incredibly moving, as well as informative on the history of Rastafarianism in Jamaica #BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚

I love how jazz musicians exude their joy in music and appreciation for each other's talents so infectiously. Enjoyed an evening with YolanDa Brown, Rick Leon James and co 🎷
YolanDa Brown and five band members on stage playing jazz/reggae/soul music.
