So many honeybees and bumblebees and butterflies in my tiny garden, really makes me happy to know I’m helping them out 🐝🪻

Got so many gorgeous bunches of grapes on my vine need to thin them out…think it’s going to be an even bigger harvest then last year 🍇

I’d submitted a few months ago & realised I hadn’t heard anything back - was convinced it was a rejection but thought I’d better check - turns out the lovely editor had overlooked my submission & although it’s too late to be published this year it will be next year - glad I chased up ✨

I love all hydrangeas but there’s something ethereally glorious about white ones imo. I’m so glad I planted this in my tiny garden, has really become a focal point #nature #gardening #bloomscrolling

Was hoping to get some writing done, but there’s no chance. Heat has turned brain into liquid goo

Where did it all go wrong? - asks the BBC, and takes us on a 5 minute tour of Starmer's downfall that never once mentions Gaza. For millions of people in the UK it just feels as if the mainstream media lives on a different planet. (Richard Sanders)
