Feed the Birds

This simple bird food wreath looks very jolly hanging from the Blackthorn tree in my garden. It’s made in a small cake mould, using half a litre of strong gelatine combined with wild bird food (5 leaves of gelatine to 500ml). Leave in the fridge overnight to set then remove from the mould and hang in your garden for the birds s to enjoy this Christmas.

Your garden must be full of birds – such up-market dining. Great idea and I’m definitely going to try one.

Makes a change to see trees like this from my bedroom window - this is my view from up in the rooftops at @gladstoneslibrary . Very happy to be spending a week here!

The househunting continues...

Just wanted to share some "work stuff" for a change. Since January I've been working with the staff at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester to build community links through their cafe craft group. This month, a new museum display features a blanket made by members of the group. These women have found new friendships, learnt new skills and discovered that knitting and crochet can bring comfort in times of stress and bring joy through making and connecting. I'm so proud of them all for contributing to this perfectly imperfect piece. You can find this on display at the museum now. See if you can spot the knitted treasure map, the crochet butterflies, the bees and the smiling children's faces. I do love the many directions my work takes me. #makingisconnecting #connectingcommunities #socialcapital #knittersofinstagram #sharethecrochetlove #craftivism

Coffee and birthday bookstack! Enjoying a steaming hot mug of @carvetiicoffee in my favourite mug (thanks @whinnyman !)& perusing my birthday books - Mr T only needed a bit of "guidance" - the bee keeping book he chose all by himself - most of the others came from @thenewbookshop. Next we're off to the solicitors to sort out some house selling stuff followed by a lovely lunch. Feeling vey spoilt as always! #booksaremybag #bookstack #booksandcoffee #bookworm #alwaysreading #idlebeekeeper

Back in Cheshire for a couple of days and the corn has been cut. Gawd, I'm going to miss this view! On the upside, Mr T has now agreed we can book to view his old Math's teacher's house & the one where he did unmentionable things at a new years eve party in 1984! So, a move back to Cumbria is imminent! Cross everything for us folks xxxx

In between rain showers I picked the last of the autumn fruiting raspberries. #girlgardener #girswhogarden #mygardentoday #forestgarden #permaculture #organicgardening #organicgardener #ediblegarden #homegrown
