I live in Bury St Edmunds, I can attest to its reality. It's also a bit delusional as it is oftentimes abbreviated to 'Bury', which of course is a whole other place, that does also exist.

Genius headline. Almost as good as the one in NME (I think) when Husker Du split up - headed 'Husker Don't'

Blue hibiscus in my garden. I love it so.

Photo of a blue hibiscus flower withe purple at the base of each petal. The stamen in the middle is a creamy white. In the background are green leaves.

Glorious self-seeded holihock. It's parent plant/s were the 'halo' variety, hence the slight pale ring at the base of the petals. Beloved by bumbles here in sunny Suffolk.

Knapweed in our meadowy-lawn, there will never bee a time when I don't stop to watch these, and take a snap where possible without disturbing them.

A glorious honka-type dahlia in my garden. I didn't grow dahlias for ages as the double-flowers are not great for pollinators. However, the RHS and Gardeners' World said these types are OK, bonus of being later-flowered, too, so extending the season for our flying beasties.

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Flowers on an un-named (to me) hoya in my lean-to. AKA the wax flower, because they sometimes drip a waxy substance when in bloom. The lean-to is my liminal place between me and the garden, so *almost* out in nature.

Being grateful is a key way to boost wellbeing. It's also pretty good for the people you say 'thank you' to, in this case, me! We have been members of #SuffolkWildlifeTrust for a decade and they sent us this lovely card and enamel pin. A small token of appreciation, much appreciated, thank you!

A photo of a postcard. The illustration is black and white. It looks like a lino-print. The image is of a partially curled (or partially uncurled?) hedgehog, its face and paws visible from an oval of spines. Next to it is an enamel pin badge, circular, with an image of a badger's face in the centre. In gold writing on a white background around the edge, it says 'longstanding member and Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
They are on a table cloth that is sage green with cream dots in a repeating pattern.

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I do it too, acknowledging their presence, I think. Also, my dad used to stroke newly opened flowers and sing them a little 'dee-dee-dee' refrain, so maybe that's a bit of it.

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I followed you on the basis of this post, stayed for the cat photos, and bought the books. I have never found caterpillars in my hair (it's too short for them to get purchase) but I have found a snail in my cleavage, another one in a glass of wine, and a worm in my turn-ups.

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

No you don't. You need to believe an *actual* author when he quotes from his own writing. And whoever posted this image clearly didn't do their homework, either.

@tommckinney.bsky.social on Radio 3 playing music from Studio Ghibli. He said t plan for t school summer hols. was to watch these with his kids - or to watch them himself if they were busy. I was introduced to these films when our kids were little, and still watch the films when they are too busy

Remember folks if you’re ever trying to buy beer or wine and you forget your ID you can always just show them you have Merlin installed on your phone and legally they have to accept that

Every time you post about Squire Edmund, my little brain immediately thinks. ‘Child Harrold to the dark tower came.’ Only to discover that it’s actually ‘child Roland’, and * now* my brain also has to add Ro-Land like in Grange Hill. I definitely should get out more! Lovely finds, Squire Edmund.

I grew up in Bedford, where there were many independent shops that sold these; a definite sign of summer and so much better than the other varieties of mango.

There are 2 community plots on my allotment site in sunny Bury St Edmunds, 1 hosted by a church, and 1 by a local mental health charity. In my home town of Bedford, there's 1 hosted by the Panacea Society. I also used to run a gardening club at a middle school here, and other schools had them too.

A school friend once referred to 'millions and millions of daffodillions' once, and it has, of course, stuck. It's still how we still refer to them, 40 years later, and long since the friendship became a memory.

Theo of Golden by Levi Allen, and A Wood of One's Own by Ruth Pavey. 1st is our book club's choice, 2nd from the 2nd hand book table at Lackford Lakes. Enjoying both!

So that's why, in the UK, Mothering Sunday/Mother's Day has more prominence; it has a different provenance to Father's Day, and dates back further.

100

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Uk Mother's Day originates from Mothering Sunday, which was part of the Christian calendar and featured returning to one's Mother church. America founded Mother's Day (different date) and then all the other relatives were allocated days, too, to increase revenue from cards and gifts.

I have that edition, too, as my childhood copy disappeared into the mists of time. Our book club is reading this as our current book.

Jane Jennison @janejennison.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

It's OK to read children's literature as an adult. There are social media platforms dedicated to the annual reading of The Dark Is Rising each December, for instance. About 1/3 of my books are children and young adult, read by me, not my kids.

Lovely Post Box Topper spotted in sunny Bedford this week, on my flying visit (I did not fly) to the dentist. #PostBoxTopper #PostBox #PostBoxSaturday #Bedford #LestWeForget

A knitted and crochetted post box topper. There is a central pillar - a war memorial? - in a neutral colour, and around it are service personnel, On the left, an RAF officer, saluting, in blue, and next to him is a wren, in khaki, also saluting.

A knitted and crochetted post box topper. An aerial shot showing the embroidered words 'lest we forget' in black on a background of the union flag. There are 2 crochetted poppies between the legs of the RAF officer and the WREN.

It also helps foster a generally more positive outlook to have words of affirmation rather than correction :-)

West Suffolk Hospital 'blanketeers' post box topper, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Lovely! Helping make the hospital a more cheerful place, it certainly put a smile on my face, thank you #PostBox #PostBoxTopper #PostBoxSaturday #Suffolk #Blanketeers #BuryStEdmunds #WestSuffolkHospital

A crocheted post box topper. There is a base in several shades of green, on top of which is a little bed with a crocheted blanket in stripes of blue, white and purple. There are three grey teddy bears (babies) tucked up in bed, and two standing at the foot of the bed. The one on the left is in a blue outfit, and the one on the right is in pink. There is a larger figure - parent or carer perhaps - on the left of the topper, and some crocheted toys surrounding,. Over the bed is a smiling yellow sun.

It's been a while since I posted about what I am reading, so here are 4 for the price of 1! The wonderful Louis De Berniers with a magical realism set in the future - a wonderful departure - & a trilogy about a family through t last century. All highly recommended. #Books #Reading #LouisDeBerniers

Photo of a book shelf with a close-up of 4 books by Louid De Berniers, a view of their spines. In yellow, Light Over Lisgard, then a triology. First, in blue, The Autumn of the Ace, second, in dark brown, So Much Left Over, and lastly in a shade of umber, The Dust That Falls from Dreams. The author's name is in white, in a cursive script, and the titles are in capital letters in a font that is different each time, but are pleasing together. They have the feel or Art Deco movie posters.

Spotted in sunny Bury St Edmunds yesterday, Positive Pumpkin! *How* cute is this?! S/He is saying, 'Positive Pumpkin; I may be a tiny pumpkin, but I believe in you. Go do your thing!' #Wellbeing #PositivePsychology #PositivePumpkin #Suffolk #BuryStEdmunds #CroasdalesChemist #ShopWindow #Crochet

A photo of a crocheted orange pumpkin with a smily face. In its pumpkin arms, it holds up a sign saying 'Positive Pumpkin. I may be a tiny pumpkin, but I believe in you. Go do your thing!' It sits on some artificial leaves in the colours of autumn, next to a plastic pumpkin (not in the shot fully) and a Burts Bees gift pack, with a background of dark fabric.
