We've visited the Street Delivery festival yday and it was so lovely. Life as I imagine it should be 🥰 A street filled with people making music, playing games, sharing books, eating ice-cream. Most games were made from reclaimed wood by a local artist. 🎶🏸♟️🎯📚🍦🔨🧶

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, small mammals, insects, robins, frogs, bats, toads, dunnocks, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...

Bomen zijn de ultieme stadsverkoelers en zodra het kwik stijgt wil iedereen meer bomen in de buurt. Het klinkt eenvoudig: plant bomen! Maar eigenlijk is elke boom op straat een enorme opgave voor mens én boom, zegt de man die 300.000 hoofdstedelijke bomen overeind houdt.

No proper rain yet. The hills still look green with a hint of autumn colours, and the ground is pretty dry..

My overlock machine got jammed (lower looper stuck behind upper looper in stead of moving in front). I had a serious attempt at fixing it, which looked promising but it's jammed again. So I'd better go and get it repaired 🪛 #sewing 🧶 #repair

These two live right by my side while I'm knitting 🩷💙 One holds the needles passed down three generations in my family, the other the DPN set my mum gave me some years ago. I made them both myself, measured and calculated the pockets so everything would fit :) #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
