Equinox apple tart πŸŽπŸŒΉπŸŒ—β˜€οΈ
.
These apples are home grown - the verity are "Christmas Pippin" - my tree grew so many that one of the branches snapped off and the tree fell over so I had to harvest a bunch super early which were perfect for cooking 🍎

My library loan this fortnight πŸ§›πŸ»β€β™€οΈ watched the 90s movie a million times, never read the book series so I thought I'd borrow it to see if I enjoy it πŸ™‚ I'm a little sad that the book doesn't get stamped anymore but this copy has been borrowed since 2009

Gavant ⛰️ with a view of Mont Blanc πŸ”οΈβœ¨
views of our August travels and knowing this is where I realised I didn't need my antidepressants any more. It's been 3.5 years and it was rough.... But experiencing this beautiful Earth with my family is what makes it all worth it.

Look at what we have to protect?! ✨🌍 The real magic is nature

Brown tail moth caterpillar - merrily eating honeysuckle and blackberry at the bottom of my garden which has scrambled over my compost bin - probably hatched in August and will spin thick silk webs to overwinter in before getting back to munching in the spring πŸŒΏπŸ›

Looking back on our holiday to Samoëns and knowing that *this* is the point that I decided to give Mastodon another go - this beautiful planet needs communities that care 🌿😌 - hello again!
I am getting through the #inktober2023 prompt list, everything is for sale ✨ I am hoping to get started on a website tomorrow once I've finished my latest commission πŸ’›
