Today’s #retro #memory . Those of a certain age can relate to this photo …

A busy day ahead but filled too with moments of quiet reflection.

Hot cross buns, anyone? Artist: Harry Wingfield (1971) #goodfriday

(Amanda) I love this photo that Auntie Rachel took. She always gives me a fuss when I do this and I haven't tried to grab her hand,,,,,yet. I don't think she would mind if I did because she is used to cats. I've heard some humans say they are 'allergic' to cats but I don't know if that's true. I wonder if any of us cats are allergic to humans? Maybe Maurine is. What do you think?

Good Friday and at first light, Old Fox walked to the Sheep church up on the Downs. It was dark inside, lit by a single oil lamp, the altars stripped and scoured with hyssop, & deserted but for an elderly hare in the front pew. He was wiping tears away. It's all so hard, he said. I know, said Old Fox & went to sit with him.

Good Friday. Grey & breezy. Buns to eat & roses to plant (I can never resist an end of season bare-root sale): Polyantha 'Yvonne Rabier' (Turbat, 1910), Bourbon 'Souvenir de St Annes' (Hilling, 1950), Hybrid Tea 'Ellen Wilmott' (Archer, 1936) & climber 'Lady Sylvia' (Lowe, 1933).

A baby crow, He already knows he’s smarter than all of us..

Word has got out in the jay community. I had three visit me at the same time #Jays

“Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.” Happy Birthday to Hans Christian Andersen, born this day in 1805 in Odense, Denmark 🇩🇰 Good morning everyone 🌼

It's bad enough having to see everything of the past being destroyed without having to withstand what's replacing it.

In hindsight, I’m not sure that taking advice about crossing the road from a squirrel was really the best idea… 😬

Lady squirrel came back to the garden today, I think she was enjoying the rare sunshine. I gave her some cashews, she likes them as does the blackbird 🐿️🐦‍⬛☀️

Welsh folklore tells us to take it easy on the Thursday before Easter... or else: ⚡ "Maundy Thursday was important for doing good deeds. If anybody performed unnecessary work on this day they would be in danger of being stricken by thunder & lightning." Folklore of Wales, 1909

Peter Brown. ‘Pete the Street’ as he is known . Bath based but could be on a pavement near you. I like his interiors I’ve not posted this bedroom before. The light is marvelous

Not such a quiet night after all - these 3 all born since 4am in the last hour! Least I’ve got lots of mini eggs to keep me going #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #lambing #farming #isleofman
