I live in the UK but I'm a citizen of the world increasingly appalled by the direction of the Tory government and Labour opposition.
Feeling slightly more confident here on Mastodon so here goes: I'm a mother, grandmother, wife. I've worked in China but now I'm back in the UK. I live in a mobile home and grow vegetables, keep koi, cook, knit and sew.
I finally actually fertilized my flowers this year and I have to admit it’s worth the effort. I’m such a lazy gardener. My lovely mother law gave me these dahlias a few years ago and these are the best blooms I’ve gotten from them yet!

Who says solar doesn't work on a wet rainy morning up in the grey misty clouds in Scotland. Not even 7am and near 2 kWh generation even in the worst of conditions.

(Setup: I have 45 x 505w PV panels ground mounted facing south. Potential gen = 22.75 kWh if 💯 efficient, also a wind turbine not turning as the + at bottom right would show feed and am offgrid in Angus, NE Scotland)

J'y ai passé la fin de journée et la soirée, mais regardez-moi cette housse de coussin en patchwork de vieux jeans ! Mes doigts ont souffert mais je suis extrêmement fier !

My first post to Mastodon shall be our boy Egon.

It's evening time in May in the UK and I'm sat here with my feet in a bowl of cold water while sucking on a rocket ice lolly to keep cool. If only world leaders cared as much about climate collapse as they do about who can use what toilet. SMFH!  #climateChange #Heatwave #UkWeather

In the greenhouse today...

Echinopsis tapecuana: a joy to see first thing, when this spectacular flower emerges. It will be over by the end of the day but another bloom is on the way.

Grown from seed in 2008 and bloomed every year since 2011.

Calling it. My roses are at their peak.

I wish you could smell these sweet peas from my garden. Heaven. 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Falling for You 😚 for #wildflowerwednesday

I tripped and fell over into the grass and that's how we got this.
I was chasing a bee.
