A painting with words by Rumi, music by Otis Redding, brushwork by me, patterns by Klimt.
AI will never be able to take this beautiful process away from me.
I hope you enjoy seeing it (and then me).

@DriverPotter @LynnTheTrim @LynnA72 @Gordon_3417 @Project_SETG455 You’ve just reminded me I have two chocolate and cherry h c buns in the freezer…

After a busy day Minioning, I can thoroughly recommend a bowl of Hot Cross Bun & Butter pudding with custard.
And a big mug of tea.
With possible pints afterward.
Nicely done @LynnTheTrim!

I’m feeling unwell, so on Easter Friday, just the best prayer! Pray:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

@ChrisHowles I won’t give anything away, but with the historical war propaganda and the deep insights into mental health, it’s incredibly relevant to today.

@andreajcs Oh how fascinating! The story sounds opposite of the kind of Sound of Music feel good one might expect. You expect to be turned into a movie?

Sunny weather, lovely beach, playing with the kids in the sea, and interesting journal articles that I NEVER normally have time to read. A happy day.

@ForresterIsla I seem to be the only person willing to cut my daughter’s Guinea pigs’ nails.
That’s 42 small, curved nails, every few weeks 😬

Trying to get meds in to a very unwilling participant is not for the weak 🙈🤣 Of course she does it all with the sweetest face 🥺❤️

1st April and I know only one of these pictures has rabbits, but I couldn't resist showing some gorgeous hares too.
I've tried desperately to encourage more rabbits where I live. And gradually, the rabbit and hedgehog population are growing. ❤️

7 years ago we moved from Sheffield to Oxford leaving familiarity, friendships, family, work & school, as I began my role as Disability Adviser for Oxford Diocese
Now?
Staffing changes (finance and operational needs) means my role of Disability Adviser is being made Redundant

Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Frances of Rome. St. Frances was born into a noble Roman family in the year 1384. From an early age, Frances felt drawn to the religious life, but at the age of thirteen her parents forced her into marriage. As Frances became acquainted with her in-laws she found that the wife of her brother-in-law felt the same calling to the religious life that she did. From this point on, the two women began to work to help the poor. Frances did not allow her charitable work to interfere with her family life, and bore three children. After the plague swept through Rome and left one of Frances' children dead, she began to turn again to charitable work. Frances gave up all her wealth to the sick and poor and began to go door to door raising money to aid the sick and poor. After the plague claimed Frances' daughter, she opened up a wing of her home as a hospital for the poor. As Frances became more deeply involved in charitable work, she began to realize the great need for it in the world and began to seek permission from the pope to form a charitable society of women to do this work. The women followed the ideals of the Benedictine order and carried on active charity and assistance of the poor. After setting up the foundation of this society, Frances continued to live with her husband until his death. After his death Frances lived the remainder of her life with the society that she formed. Frances died in 1440 and is the patron of widows and motorists. More at ewtnnews.com

@SamCannonArt They are all equally beautiful, each in its own way ❤️

My 'sun series' from a few years ago.
Do you have a favourite?
Mine is the blue one with the rabbits and the short eared owl.
Painting long, thin pictures is so enjoyable. It makes you think that bit harder.

@andreajcs I mean... I did Sicilly to Birmingham once, but over two weeks (everyone thought I was mad but it was so good 😅 ). Definitely a highlight was the sleeper train getting shunted onto a ferry over the Straight of Messina ⛴️ -James

@LNRailway That sounds perfect 🤩 I hope you get your adventure. I went to Czechoslovakia by train in the 80’s. It was really interesting!

@andreajcs I miss the sunshine (calculating how long on the train it would be to the south of Italy as we speak...) 😅 -James
