I love Taynee’s art, have various prints and have also had her calendars in the past. Please do consider supporting her by ordering a calendar this year. ❤️

Such a warm day today. I found this beautiful spider had been busy spinning a web from the geraniums. They kept me company whilst I drank my coffee in the sun. ❤️

I may only have a small garden (which I have been slowly reclaiming into use from the concrete and overgrown ivy), but the three tomatoes that I planted earlier in the year are producing fantastically! 🍅

This is one pick, with so much more coming through! Where some plants have really struggled with the weather, the tomatoes have been clearly loving it!

Even in the smallest of gardens there’s room to grow!

How cool is this (not so little) hoverfly that was hanging out at Bentley Urban Farm ?

The beautiful mural created by SQUIGGLE GANG at the Doncaster Unitarians church courtyard in Doncaster centre. I love that they have incorporated the chalice (symbol of the Unitarians) into the bottom of the mural.

Good evening with Reclaim the Night in Doncaster (some people were camera shy ☺️)

Organised by Doncaster VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls group) with various speakers: councillor Gemma Cobby; Oliver Coppard (South Yorkshire Mayor), Kilvindur Vigurs (Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime) and special shout out to Kath Thorpe (owner of The Queen Crafthouse ) for her excellent and impassioned contribution.

Further huge thanks to Ann-Louise for doing so very much to organise and the huge amount of work she does daily, behind the scenes, for women in Doncaster. ❤️

The wonderful Safe Haven were also in attendance, plus representatives from the police.
