Lepidopterists often wonder if butterflies love or hate Marmite. Definitely❤️ as this Red Admiral proves!

Mind you coming across this in a small library on Vancouver Island we'd gone to to use the internet was pretty surreal.

A Day on the 365 is about the #Gallery365in2025 Newcastle exhibition. Like others I've wondered how Sonya @gallery365.bsky.social was - we now know what she's been through recently!
Posting these 1400 words (in link) for those 365ers no longer over there

NUWSS, WFL deserve more credit in women's fight for the vote -not just Pankhurst's WSPU
I bought set of Panko having used them as framework for Eleanor's story in Bitter Harvest Moon (99p on Kindle)

Panko sadly is rubbish as a game!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the poem. I started writing them at 70 so I'm trying to catch up for lost time!
I wish my dad could have seen the photos my US cousin sent. He only had a couple. This was the collage of them I did when I first posted it over there
