Just in case you're sitting there on Saturday morning with your £1 pocket money burning a hole in your pocket... you could get this and pop to the corner shop for two Fruit Salads or Blackjacks (or one of each!) with the change.

Disability can happen to anyone at any time. It’s not due to deconditioning or a moral failing. Many chronic illnesses are the result of a viral infection from which the body never recovers. We need more awareness, treatments & clean air to reduce viral spread. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

I finally had enough down time to photograph “ghost forest”, my big sculpture from my October firing. The results were just spectacular!
A large roundish clay beast, about 18” long, shot against a grey backdrop. There’s tree stumps on the back. Front view of the same beast. It has a smooth head, with no features other than a downturned mouth with porcelain teeth. Back side of the beast. It’s red/brown/black. All the color is from melted wood ash from the firing. There’s many subtle shades and textures.

Yesterday Tess and I visited the hurlers standing stones on the edge of Bodmin Moor. We were lucky enough to come across this gorgeous white horse in the circle. #magical
A stone circle with a blurred close up of a stone in the foreground. In the middle a white horse crouches on the ground eating grass. In the distance hills can be seen. A white horse is lying on its side in the grass in the middle of a stone circle. The sunlight glancing off the mane and tail. The white horse is curled on to its opposite side in the grass in the stone circle.

Ever see these species? We’re looking for volunteers for the Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey this winter. Sign up➡️ www.bto.org/webs-news All you need to do is walk your chosen survey sector along the coastline once between 1 December & 31 January & count the birds you see. #UKBirding
The image is split into three horizontal sections each featuring a different bird. At the top is a Sanderling foraging along the shoreline. It’s a small wading bird with a black bill and legs, white underparts and face, and grey head and upperparts. The middle section features a Turnstone walking showing its bright orange legs, white underparts, and brown-black upperparts. The bottom frame shows a Purple Sandpiper standing on a sloping rock. It’s a medium-sized and stocky wading bird with orange legs, grey-brown upper plumage and white-cream below with a downcurved beak with orange base and black tip.
