Spotted these collections at Trinity Market, Hulls.
Teapots (on all three walls) ✅
Magnets ✅

Quite rare to see collections like these days.
Are we a more minimalist society?
Are all the collectors of tat dying out?
Do you collect anything?

Highlight of my week was heckling 'Rudston Monolith!' at Stewart Lee during his show in York.

It was shouted in context- he'd actually visited and knew it was the largest megalith in the UK and was clearly impressed by my enthusiasm for prehistoric monuments!

Archaeology degrees are useful!

Tranquility of a frozen lake, spoilt by spotting some children walking into the middle, fortunately they didn't plummet in to the freezing water.

Did make me feel we could use some public information films to stop kids risking things like this.

This was an entertaining easy watch. Really enjoyed being immersed in the world of the 1960s space race for a couple of hours. 🚀🌕👨‍🚀

Highly recommend, excuse poor photos, but absolutely love their use of foliage from the grounds, great inspo. Especially using the flowerheads from the Lamb's ear plant.

Glad it's Friday- Thinking of the Disco stags from our local Stately home's Christmas display.

🍂Super fun finish to #Nationaltreeweek at the library. Saturday Storytime and crafts. 🌳
Perfect morning of work for me, sharing my love of trees!

Afternoon at Sledmere's Christmas fair. Have to say after looking around busy stalls, it was such a tonic to walk around the grounds, visit the rare breeds farm and say hello to the animals. 😍

If you find yourself stuck indoors this winter and inneed of feeling awe at nature, you need to escape into this book.
Such an enchanting and informative insight into the world of these mysterious creatures.

Here in #Bridlington snow fell heavy on Wednesday, holding on until it eventually completely thawed yesterday. Chaos ensued, roads ungritted, gridlock, burst water mains in town centre, phones down. I enjoyed the beautiful icey calm amongst the chaos. #seaside #snow

🌳🍂 Library set up for #nationaltreeweek some saplings have come to live with us for the duration. Looking forward to our upcoming tree week storytimes, microscopy, craft and Lego sessions! 🌳🍂

If you'd like to help support the squirrels whilst buying yourself or someone else some beautiful decorations, I highly recommend this lovely Etsy seller who is donating all profits to Penrith and District Squirrel Group 🐿️

Why buy roses in February?

I ❤️ this campaign by SSAW collective, encouraging us to consider the sustainability of our floral choices.

A walk today, a savoured escape from the responsibilities of Monday. Brief shelter in a church, respite from the wind. Snowdrops In the churchyard, too destabilised by the gusts to picture clearly. Inside, a candle, dressed in foliage and flowers.
In February the light lengthens, 2 minutes each day.

Tucked away just behind the chip shops, arcades and souvenirs on Scarborough Seafront you'll find this treasure.

Now a private residence, still full of intrigue...if only buildings could speak I'd love to hear it's stories.

Last Sunday was my ultimate perfect Sunday. Attended a farm open day, featuring a Wassail, a wildlife walk lead by YWT and lots of organic produce from the farm, eaten around a fire!

New here! For my awkward first post.... Here's a picture taken yesterday of the River Hull at Driffield.

Yesterday was a perfect day for a walk, light reminding us of warmer days, but trees still skeletal enough for it to be acceptable to go home and put your pyjamas on at 5pm!
