Love crafts, history, stories, natural world & spending time with husband, children, family & friends. When M.E /CFS & POTS doesn't stop me - which is most of the time right now. Usually found in a dressing gown. Devon, UK ♿🌿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦
I loved today's digest.Thank you.

'This is why buildings like this comfort me - for within their walls is a kind of eternity. In the fabric, the past is forever contained within the living present.' This, exactly.

Amazing carvings! Reminded me of this patchwork from an earlier time, at Bakewell.

Yes counting is next to impossible, my short term memory is shot. So scary when it comes to pills ❤️

I have something like this:
When I remember to actually fill it/ask someone else to fill it, it's invaluable.

One of my sons has started bringing me a 'toy of the day' to keep me company. This is Mr Pengy!

I got out yesterday and saw house Martins, buzzards and soft, fresh green new pine needles.

I'm mostly housebound & can't make much of an impact so it felt good to say this.

I love Audio books & dramatisations. They're a lifeline for those with #ME #LongCovid #chronicillness who are well enough to use them. I'll still listen to my collection. But I won't buy from Audible any more.

Dear Wes & Ashley

I've had M.E for 16 years.

I used to work in museums with schools & adults, on subjects from medieval history to the Holocaust. Then M.E hit.

I was lucky to improve for a while, to work again part time, meet my husband & have twins. Many don't get that chance 1/4

It's Elizabeth Bennet, based on Jennifer Ehle's performance in the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice 🙂 an old National Trust advent calendar we get out every year was the perfect backdrop!
Fiddly to make & sew up, I couldn't do it now, but so happy she's complete 🥳

Bittersweet moment. Posted a present to an old friend- it could well be my last crocheted doll. Finished over a year ago apart from final touches which I did this week- sewing on a letter & pendant- my fingers weren't pleased with me but I was determined to finish as intended!
