Spend my time thinking about crochet blankets, education, and children's career aspirations. Not necessarily in that order.

@alomshaha.bsky.social I was at an open air museum in Denmark today and they had a watch exhibition, and I saw it and thought of you!

Photographing art instead of looking at it.
Do we end up never seeing the picture on anything other than a screen?

I enjoyed watching people seeing the Mona Lisa much more than I enjoyed the picture itself.

Lovely weekend away singing with The Unthanks, with added opportunity to photograph my latest #quilt.

Really valuable meeting at the Royal Society today about supporting schools with collaborative practical projects.

Enjoyed spotting some interesting architectural features on my route.

Mini 'cruise' to Amsterdam this weekend. Reminded me how much I miss the flower markets. Stunning to see, even in December.

I moved to Northumberland for 1 year while my oh did a masters course.

22 years later, I'm still here.

This beautiful coast is one reason why.

It's cold and wet outside, so staying inside and making little butterflies this morning.
