Inspired by @iand777.bsky.social I know there's a lot of growing to wait for but it's a start. I have two washing up bowls to go into wilder spaces as well which I will leave to do their own thing once filled with stones and water. 2/2

This year's model, my effort is based on something I grew up with that my German mother would produce each Advent. It's her original wooden bowl. Spaniel unimpressed. #Advent #Adventskranz #spaniel

Hope your Sunday is going as well as mine ❤️ I've finished off a really difficult translation about insider trading regs, been out to the woods to collect Christmas tree bits for this year's Adventkranz and watched Chelsea go 2 up in the first half.

Only occasionally we get a chiff chaff in the garden. My twitcher friend puts them in his category of "little brown jobs". Snob! I think they're beautiful.

I was seven then but I clearly remember our school assembly where the teacher tried to explain what had happened and how planting trees could help make it safe again. Hope our forest is still thriving! Hugs to Aberfan from Herts ♥️
