Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift invites you to take a sensory walk. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, be led by touch. Seek varieties of texture. Prefer to go hands free? Feel for textures in the terrain. Share finds as you go or at the end.

Just a week left on this crowd funder, would love to help boost it a little more! Help us build a compost toilet & a shelter to support all-weather inclusive community garden activities 🌱🪱🌇💩
Times are tough out there, but if you've got a few £$€
please donate, every little helps! shorturl.at/K92tG the goal is to make the garden as inclusive as possible & to support year round use 🌱🌆🚶‍♀️🪱🌻 sharing helps too! @hackneylcc.bsky.social @zoegarbett.bsky.social @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social

Happy International Women’s Day ! a sprig of Rosemary from my garden by the sea. It’s amazing how Rosemary flowers by the coast, it makes you realise that we all need the right conditions to thrive and blossom.
With love

Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift falls on the feast of Candlemas. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, seek encounters with the first flickering signs of spring & sources of light in the darkness. Be as literal, lateral or metaphorical as you wish; share finds as you go or at the end. Ready?🕯️
