The welcome evening sun, Replaces the cloud filled day, Relaxing watching cricket The first innings underway. The runs are not coming easy, For the Birmingham Phoenix team, There is a bit of movement, From the bowlers, bowling seam.

The sky’s ragged, rough round the edges, grey rinsed, set. Snug lights: bauble bright… #Evening

Sad to see the closure of #MerrieEngland eateries. #Huddersfield

Created in 1918 during the Taishō era, Village in Shūgakuin (Shūgakuin-mura) by Hayami Gyoshū (速水御舟, 1894–1935) is an extraordinary Nihonga masterpiece that exemplifies the artist’s early fusion of meticulous realism, classical Northern Song landscape perspective, and mystical atmospheric tone.

‘The Hill Burns’ Out of these mountains, Out of the defiant torment of Plutonic rock, Out of fire, terror, blackness and upheaval, Leap the clear burns, Living water, Like some pure essence of being, Invisible in itself, Seen only by its movement. www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/hill-bu...

Celebrating #HermanMelville ‘s birthday remembering the time I celebrated with a cake. And an exhibition of works on British Influences in #MobyDick at Burton Constable Hall. The cake was delish. And I was quite pleased with the exhibition.

On Yorkshire pudding throwing day More than 100 people came out to play To the humble Darfield museum More visitors than the colosseum. The cafe sold out of bacon butties The museum guides carried out their duties The shop assistants welcomed the guests Ian McMillan controlled the contests.

Inkling and Font My baby’s fingertips were dusted
that morning in Yorkshire fog
and his ears in poetry too no font’s liquid
but cloud’s and earth’s, suspended.
And composed, lifted quiet.   Zaffar Kunial via @grantamag.bsky.social #poetry #YorkshireDay granta.com/three-poems-...

‘In the Mountains on a Summer Day’ Li Bai Gently I stir a white feather fan, With open shirt sitting in a green wood. I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone; A wind from the pine-trees trickles on my bare head. poets.org/poem/mountains… #poetry

This morning I’m reviewing some #beading/#Embroidery studio studies using a range of techniques and stitches. These were mostly inspired by the #BenthicZone OceanFloor.

What a sheer pleasure this book is (and thank you @revrachelmann.bsky.social for the nudge last year)! One of those books that is simply a treat. I feel I can't read it to learn from, it's too bloody good!
