Uk born but European by heart. A bit of a magpie, I'm currently nesting in Derbyshire but am always happiest in the wind, wandering and wondering.

I'm interested in most things. Always busy inventing, making, growing or just doing something.

Main passions: gardening, bonsai, #textileart, #embroidery, #felting, #cyanotyping, sculpture (wood, stone, clay, cement), live music, history, travel.

Good morning - I really did think I was going to get all my ducks in a row today.

Oh well... 🦆🦆🦆

One of my #favouritethings in the Peak District is hunting for abandoned mill stones, like these around Surprise View. It used to be a thriving industry then seemingly overnight the orders dried up and workers just walked away abandoning almost complete stones...

A little video from last summer - fabric collage with machine and hand embroidery and a bit of bead work. Metallic thread is a nightmare to work with but the end result really appeals to my magpie brain.... it sparkles ✨️ 😍

For #windowFriday I give you this delightful window and sun dial combo in the Fletcher Moss Park & Parsonage Gardens, Didsbury, South Manchester. Given for public use in 1915, the gardens are a great place to walk and explore and the parsonage is now a cafe and art gallery. #Manchester #fensterFreitag
