Thank you so much Gloria Steinem for inspiring so many millions of women worldwide growing up in the 1970's/80's and those of subsequent generations to fight for their rights. 🧡✊💖 #StrongerTogether #HopeNotHate This is from The Guardian (U.K.) in May 2024:

In memory of Gloria Steinem. Thank you so much for inspiring many millions of women all over the world who grew up in the 1960's/'70's to fight for their rights & those of others. This is from the Guardian in May 2024 pictured with Dorothy Pitman Hughes. 🧡✊💖 #StrongerTogether #HopeNotHate

Hi JJ, you mention in your bio you are going through a lengthy period of ill heath & completely empathise as am enduring the same and pretty much housebound. Have had a few moments of joy though including seeing this rare Hummingbird Hawk Moth on our phlox recently (aplologies for amateur video)!

Dear Laurette, really love your photography and pleased to meet you here on 🦋. Over the past few years we have noticed an increasing number of visits from Hummingbird Hawk Moths - here is one on our phlox (please forgive amateur video!) With best wishes from Jane in Alton, Hampshire.

Pleased to meet you here on 🦋 Skog. Here is a video of a Hummingbird Hawk Moth on our phlox & salvia flowers (please forgive the amateur footage!) They only visit during periods of particularly warm weather here in southern England. With best wishes from Jane in Hampshire, U.K.😊

Good evening Diane from the U.K.! I found this whilst sorting through some old Saturday Guardian magazines recently and thought it would be appropriate to send it today! Sending best wishes from Jane in Hampshire, U.K.💙 #InternationalWomensDay #StrongerTogether

Happy International Women's Day to you Foxy! Sending love in solidarity to all 'Resister Sisters' fighting to save democracy and for women's rights/equality globally. Found this recently when sorting through old Guardian magazines & thought it was appropriate! Love from Jane in the U.K. 💙✊❤️

Good morning Thomas! We loved being able to see hummingbirds in our garden when we lived in Virginia for 3 yrs in the '70s. The nearest thing we have here are hummingbird hawk moths in our garden shown below. (apologies for amateur mobile phone video!) Wishing you a lovely weekend, from Jane, U.K.💙

Apologies for the delay in sending the promised photo of purple flowers. I hadn't planned to buy asters but they were half price because they were due to be discarded as they were reaching the end of their flowering period. Being perennials we can plant them out in the garden next year!

Re Women standing together as sisters I was sorting through a pile of Guardian magazines recently & this powerful image on one cover last year depicting Gloria Steinem & Dorothy Pitman Hughes on the subject '100 Women who changed the the World' really stood out! From Jane, U.K. #StrongerTogether

My father was posted to the U.S. from 1972/5 & we lived in a house on a lake in Virginia Beach where we had hummingbirds in the garden which were delightful to see. The nearest thing we have in the U.K. are hummingbird hawk moths. Very amateur video of one in our garden last year below!

Apolgies for somewhat amateur videos - not sure whether they went in two separate posts - still learning!

2/2 We have a passion for swifts whose numbers have drastically declined in the U.K. due to lack of nesting sites. We installed 4 swift bricks and all are occupied this year. They'll leave very soon to head back to SW Africa. The same families return for up to 30 yrs! Love from Jane 🥰

Thank you for your lovely message. The hummingbird reminds me of our 3 years living in Virginia in the 1970's and being able to watch them in our garden! The closest we have in the U.K. is the hummingbird hawk moth so sending a video of one in our garden last year! Love from Jane. 🥰

Sorting through a pile of Guardian magazines last week I found this from May '24 depicting this powerful image from 1971. Never has it been more important to stand together in solidarity globally to protect democracy and equality in a world increasingly threatening both. Love from Jane, U.K.✊❤️

Dear Gemma, this is my first time trying to respond with an image. It appears to be cropped when sending it to you - are you able to see it in full? (You have probably seen this image before but would be grateful for any advice!) Love from Jane.
