My first bottle of rose hip syrup! It's delicious as you'd expect. This is my third foraged syrup of the autumn- I've already done damson syrup and crabapple syrup. All a bit foraging bonkers this year.

I've foraged some rose hips. I'm going to make rose hip syrup. First time! I've gone a bit foraging bonkers this autumn.

I bet you've spent ages wondering how on Earth seagulls always end up turning into hermit crabs. Well, let us explain it for you.

Kitten Dave has extended his oesophagus and covered it in feet so it acts as a huge, horrific flesh centipede.

Imagine it hard.

How would you survive being dragged into the depths by a Colossal Squid?

I've been causing a lot of accidents lately.

The human mind just isn't equipped to grasp the sheer scale of the universe.

At the Annecy animation festival with @thatnatt.bsky.social which is obviously super tough. Drop me a line if you're here and you fancy a natter. I'm here all week.

@thatnatt.bsky.social and I are working with Ralph Steadman and have a lovely treatment for an adaptation of his visceral, violent, brutal take on Animal Farm- which amounts to "tell this exact story, bringing these drawings to life" but no point talking to people about it at the mo

This beauty is Blue For You - there are no really blue roses, just like there are no really blue chickens but you still get ones with "blue" in the name. I don't mind, I LOVE these purple flowers and she smells fantastic too. Just coming into bloom properly now.

The roses are really starting to get going now! This is westerland which is a gorgeous climber I have along a wall at the front. She has a fabulous and quite unusual colour which really lifts my heart and I'm ever so glad to see her return. She also smells lovely!

Madame Alfred Carriere is blooming. Now that is a proper name for a rose! She is a rampant climber and is thriving on my north-facing wall, where a lesser plant would struggle. I saw the huge one Vita Sackville-West planted a Sissinghurst on a north wall and copied her. She is thornless and lovely!

I'm a sucker for these love-heart petunias. I've got a load of them in pots out the front. They come in a variety of colours and I love them all, though to be fair I love all petunias without exception.
