Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Sitting in the sun, I’m soaking in its healing warmth. It is a welcome balm after what has been a challenging few months. Today, I am honouring a promise to myself: to return to finish a project I began last year. 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Frog spotting continues. 2 days ago there were about 30 of them in the pond Yesterday 51 Today 70 Such an incredible variety of colours and designs. From almost black to various shades of brown, speckled coral, red and different tones of green This gentleman posing under his rock 030
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Footage of frog-pawn filmed up close and personal in the pond today. Winking, blinking and croaking in the early afternoon sunlight. Spring has sprung 😍 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 03/03/2025And then I wrote a blog about mindful moments in which sitting in nature has enabled me to detach from the shenanigans going on in the world. open.substack.com/pub/georgina...open.substack.comMindful MomentsTwo frogs are wrestling at the bottom of the water. Their fat limbs perform slow motion knockouts. They tumble and turn with plump legs flailing and grappling with an instinct to thrive. Two amphibiou... 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Yesterday and today was not only about spotting frogs as but newts too. Water quality must be good as they seem to be thriving happily in our pond. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Enjoyed playing spot-the-frog this morning as they sat on the bottom of the pond. This is probably about 3 feet deep. I counted 8 frogs just sitting in the sunshine. Whether they were actually sunbathing or not I wouldn’t be able to tell. Such a a joy seeing them though. 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I’m writing about how stories connect us to each other. Annoying thing is that my mind has gone blank when trying to think of any stories that prove that stories matter. I’ve got loads to say but I need the personal touch to demonstrate why I believe what I believe. Time for a walk then. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 28/02/2025What a magnificent creature. I just love the colours and patterns on those feathers. Stunning. Would make a fabulous textile design. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Celtic Knot tree. On my walk today I ended up on one of my favourite mountain roads. A quiet narrow lane that is surrounded by ancient lichen encrusted thorn trees. They feel like they have been there since the Stone Age. Magical. 040
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 26/02/2025What is good in your world today? For me the sun is out and spring is on its way - my favourite time of year. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I've just realised today's blog started with talking about blue skies and hope. Go figure! I've been seriously pondering where and how I want to show up online especially as I have so much that I want to do. I'd appreciate it if you let me know what you think! open.substack.com/pub/georgina...open.substack.comReflections in the sunshine, spring beckons and new ideas are budding.The sun is glorious again today. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 08/02/2025With all of the craziness in the world I can’t help feeling that more than ever is imperative we stand for individual sovereignty, autonomy, universal tolerance, acceptance of our beautiful differences and above all love. 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/02/2025The trouble with being a book addict & having such a huge collection of books is that it is nearly impossible to let go of any. Each you pick up you either fall in love all over again or curiosity makes you want to investigate the unknowns further. There are so few that can fly free from my clutches 040
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just finished reading Karen Lord’s book The Best of all Possible Worlds. It took me a while to bond with the voice of the lead character but reading about the author helped. Whilst an enjoyable read, for me it left too many unanswered questions about the various side stories within it. 100
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025It’s always a tussle between decluttering the house & dedicating time to writing & my art. I need the space to think but I also need to commit to achieving certain goals with my creative work. Then there’s the bus… but then if there were more hours in the day I’d probably add more to the list 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Wait? What? 585 followers? And I haven’t even started yet. Huge thank you to YOU I am in the process of summarising what I’m likely to write about. I’m hoping that putting that into a pinned post will help people decide whether I’ve got anything pertinent or entertaining to offer. 050
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024A brilliant way to find your people here on BlueSky. 181
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 21/11/2024I’m not procrastinating! I’m quiddling! Well today I’m not but you know… there are times… #quiddler 162
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 20/11/2024I’m loving reading so many fab posts from people who are doing fascinating things. Thank you for not giving up on social media and thank you for sharing your gorgeous and inspirational thoughts. 3141
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Currently working on my writing to go on Substack. The trouble is that there are so many things that I want to write about, it is hard to know where to start today. Fingers can't type fast enough!! 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 18/11/2024I absolutely love this idea. It allows serendipity to come out to play. *off to browse books instead of doing accounts. Oops! 041
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Love this. Part of my future plans is rewilding land creating sanctuary for nature. This includes people who can rewild their spirits after being part of a monoculture society for so long. 091
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I’m so excited. Having real conversations with real people again. I know the potential that can come from that is awesome. It looks like my social will be a combination of Substack and BlueSky with smatterings of other places. Picture of rock heart pool on Isle of Man beach. 1181
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Amplification of what is in flow diminishes that which is in resistance. So I guess that by being here and having fun, we are amplifying all that is deliciously joyous and in its natural flow. 😍 0111
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I’m already breathing a sigh of relief being here. At last we can get back to engaging with people we actually know instead of their posts being hidden by algorithms. Will it stay that way as I follow more people and the platform grows? 271
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 15/11/2024First post - new beginnings. One can only hope that BlueSky can deliver on implied promises of being social like other places used to be. That’s before manipulative algorithms and those who are determined to turn social media channels into paid broadcast media blasting click bait at us day and night 2120
