I knew the #rain would arrive this weekend weeks ago. Not because I'm a meteorologist but because the scaffolding went up yesterday for #solar panel installation next week! #climatechange #greenenergy #renewables

View from an upstairs house window into a back garden. There is blue sky and a tall hedge with scaffolding visible against the house. There is a succulent in a pot on the windowsill.

Mine too! Max always shuffling his nose under your resting arm if you cease the head scruffs too early. Maybe it's a bc thing?

Did Malham Cove for the first time earlier this month. Spectacular

Lovely low, bright winter's sun passing through the trees on our woodland walk today

Purchased in 2012... it took me over a decade, but it's finally finished! #eatmorecustard #custardweather #bestbeforedate

Bird's Custard Powder tin. Apparently produced during their 175th anniversary year. Their label indicates they were established 1837 so this tin must've been purchased in 2012

Saturday night but mine involves tackling a book a special person gave me last year that I've struggled to consider opening until now #grief

"Loss" by Donna Ashworth

Sorry for your loss
When I say sorry for your loss, it may sound perfunctory, trite even.
I am sorry, that you wake in the night, gasping for breath, heart racing in agony.
I am sorry that you will know a life time of what ifs and could have beens.
I am sorry that you ache for one more minute with your love knowing it can never be.
When I say sorry for your loss, please know, my soul is reaching out to yours in understanding and trying very hard to take away just a one little ounce of your pain

Happy birthday, Nutmeg! Max (14) sends his bestest birthday wishes 🐶

Max made sure everything got an appropriate amount of sniffing #dogsofbluesky #bordercollie #autumn #woodland

So excited to finally see my first Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) in the UK! A beauty #fungi #woodland

Did you grow this? I found pink ones in a clump of normal blue ones in a woodland & wondered if it was a random mutant. It was very pretty

I have a clematis that is similarly confused!

Enjoyable walk near Marsden. River, canal, reservoir, train line & woodlands #Yorkshire

Having an excellent dairy with delicious icecream 10mins drive from the house. Good or bad? Discuss

Icecream menu titled "scooping now". Has the usual suspects plus a few unusual ones like "matcha & white chocolate" and "Jammy Dodger"

#Yorkshire is very dog-friendly. To the point that canines are employed in the local DIY shop #doityersen. Here they are selling us some screws

Painted my first model yesterday. Another #mindfulness pursuit

Oathsworn model house painted with a grey slate roof, yellow stone chimney & red-brown timber walls. It has some green, mossy growth. It's sat on a white kitchen worktop with a border collie on the ground watching from a distance

Crisp, frosty, bright morning here at Wakefield Westgate. Birmingham is the destination today
