Who loves Catmint more, cats or bees? Pollinators love blue/purple flowers and Catmint has so many. It’s great in sunny borders and loved by (most) cats who will sit or lie in it, eat it, fall asleep in amongst it

Muting fascism will not make it go away.
It's like pretending that the raging fire in your kitchen isn't happening and that if you just shut the door on it - the inferno will disappear.
WRONG.
It WILL burn your house down.

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Finnish author/artist Tove Jansson's writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed kindness & community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt
