The 'Sorry' Jar. For all those times when there's no real need to say it. Like saying sorry for being ill, saying sorry for needing help etc. In those cases, pay if you say Sorry. Better than a swear jar any day...we couldn't afford one of those.😉 Xx💖💕✨

Saw the self portrait of Rembrandt today at Kingston Lacey. I don't know quite why and obviously, in the nicest way possible, I keep thinking it's actually Johnny Vegas. #rembrandt #johnnyvegas #artists #kingstonlacey #renaissance #classics

Too much effort today, to be reactive to the world's evil. What can I do when it's run by petulant children who constantly want more, when they have more than they need? So I'll send you some flowers instead. #cornflowers #flowers #gardening #peace

A superb Saturday last with the Etches Collection crew. Huge thanks Emily Ford who organised our stall for the first time this year and had a big success with public engagement and donations for the ongoing Pliosaur recovery operation. #pliosaur #etchescollection #davidattenborough #paleontology
Volunteers and staff from the Etches Collection Fossil Museum stood behind our stall for the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival.
