Evening Bluesky peeps. Lovely trip to Lindisfarne at the weekend - windswept and inspirational 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

I've very much missed the wonderfully cosy corner of the internet that is #SmallBeautiesHour in some much-needed time away from social media - please enjoy some recent #SunlightThroughTrees #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Early for #SmallBeautiesHour tonight with the Forget-me-nots in full swing next to the garden path. Best wishes to all. 🩵🌱💙 #SmallBeauties #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Hello and happy #SmallBeautiesHour to you all. Here is a rainbow over the rooftops and a very proud looking pheasant. #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

L & I had a night away in Northumberland last week (a Xmas gift). The hotel had its own library, which was a wonderful surprise #BecauseOfClem

Remembering, as ever, on #MothersDay, all those children without their mums, and all the mums who have lost their precious children. Love and caring thoughts to you all ❤️

It was the Tractor Run on the weekend. Here is a glimpse of a few of the 400+ tractors and other farm vehicles which graced the road between Knaresborough and Pateley Bridge, in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛 #SmallBeautiesHour

Some Welsh cakes cooking on the bake stone (a treat, yesterday, for St David’s day), and a timely display of daffodils. #BecauseOfClem

It’s been very cold and wet, and the sausage dogs have shown little interest in going very far #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold💛

A February #smallbeauty lili-wen-fach ~ Eiryls ~ snowdrop. They are such a joy...
raindrops on snowdrops and whiskers on otters...there were some wild geese flying at dusk, but no moon on their wings...

Quack! Quack!

Thank you so much for that lovely message. I’m just so grateful that people remember Clem and that he is still able to inspire others 💛🙏.

9 years ago today, I lost my beautiful 21-year-old son, Clem. The ache never fades, but neither does the light he brought. He lived with open-hearted kindness & inclusion, & #ThreadOfGold exists to keep spreading those values in his memory. Miss you every day, Clem #BecauseOfClem💛

Evening Bluesky peeps. The first bud on my bulbs appeared just in time for Imbolc yesterday 🌱💚 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Evening Bluesky peeps. Chief Inspector Woodpigeon is hunkering down and waiting for Spring here at #RubbishBirdPics HQ 🩵 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

We had the pleasure of taking this big lad out for a couple of walks over the weekend (the sausage dogs weren’t overly impressed) #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #smallbeautieshour

Evening Bluesky peeps. For #SmallBeautieshour a walk in the January mist, skeletal trees and hedgerows and an iced-over puddle slowly thawing out. Very atmospheric 💙 #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold

Lindisfarne also produced some top notch opportunities for a few #RubbishBirdPics 💙 #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseofClem #ThreadofGold
