Thank you so much for your kind words, Theodore! 😊I haven’t posted much recently, as I’ve been busy on various woodland mushroom safaris 🍄🍄🟫, but you’ve certainly inspired me to share more frequent woodland 🌳🌲memoirs with all my Bluesky 🦋chums! 🐻❄️💙🤍
Mushrooms 🍄 yesterday, #Lichens today. Autumn is my favourite time of the year. 🍂 Suddenly everything on the woodland floor is perfectly suited to the tiny community. 🍁 Lichens are lovely. 💚🪵💛 Like crispy wee cities.
The ones with the trumpets 🎺 are my very best. 🐻❄️💙🤍
It was marvellous, Martine! 🐻❄️💙🤍🍄
A tremendously exciting first #Fungi Safari of the season today! So many magnificent #Mushrooms! Thrilled to little tiny bits! 🐻❄️💙🤍🍄
Best. Jelly🪼. EVER!!!🇵🇱🐻❄️💙🤍🎉
A wee bee 🐝 having his tea ☕️ 🍰🐻❄️💙🤍
I like this man, Small. 🐻❄️ Very handsome! 🐘🦅🦋🐛
Beautiful, Small... Hope you had a lovely time!🐻❄️💙🤍🇵🇱
Yes indeed, Small! 🐻❄️ Their snug green anoraks are nearly as cosy as my favourite warm jumper 💙. And scarf, obviously.🧣
Hi Marg!🐻❄️ Glad to see you're still Marvellous! I've had a bit of a lazy summer 🌞, but I'm back with a bang now it's mushroom season 🍄. I'm a huge fungi fan. We're about the same height, so it's always nice to chat about being tiny and woodland affairs in general. And yes, I'll stay conker safe! 🪖🐻❄️💙🤍
Hi Martine!🐻❄️ It has been a while 🕰️, hasn't it? I'm going on mushroom 🍄 safari in the sun 🌞 today, so may pick up another conker later. They really are marvellous ornaments.
I end up with a house full of them every autumn. I never like to throw them away.🚯 They're just too handsome.🐻❄️💙🤍
Hi Lorraine! How lovely to hear from you! 🐻❄️ I am in need of a new hat and those spiky conker helmets 🪖 always double as excellent viking helmets for when I'm wielding my mace. I'm off on a mushroom 🍄 safari today, so I'm well enough to do that, and hope you're in finest fettle for drawing ✏️🪳too!💙🤍
Bottom right look like King Alfred’s Cakes, Geoffrey! 🤴🧁 🍄🟫 They’re called cakes, but don’t eat them, if you value your tummy! 🐻❄️💙
What beautiful crocuses, Small!🐻❄️💙
The #daffodils are absolutely aching to burst out. This chap seems particularly keen. You can just see the tip of his canary blond hairdo. Soon be spring!
As it was a little warmer today, I ventured out without my hat and saw something in the woods I don't think I was supposed to see. 👀 I'm a bit worried that if I was spotted he might not come down my chimney tonight. Oh well, he didn't seem to notice me. Merry Christmas everyone!🎅🐻❄️🎉💙

I've been strongly advised by my chums to get a winter hat and after much deliberation 🤔 🧐 we finally have a winner. It's lovely and warm. Especially when I pop a piping hot chestnut inside. 🌰 🐻❄️ 🫠 💙 ☃️
Hi Stivvers! 🦜 It's topsy-turvy 🙃 is what it is! 🐻❄️🍄💙
Hi Nature Felts! Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've been wrapping presents 🎁 and eating mince pies 🥧. Thank you so much for your reply. I'd never heard of a rosecomb 🌹🍄before. I love learning new stuff. 🎓🐻❄️💙 Merry Christmas!🎅
Wow, Sharon! 🐻❄️ I'd love to go exploring in there.🪵 It's like a tiny cave. Or a door.🚪If I had a wee miner's helmet 🪖💡and I ventured inside, I'd probably find elves. Or at least insects. 🐜
Some of my best friends are insects.🐞 And stumps, to be fair. You know where you are with a stump. 🐻❄️
Here am I, conversing with a fly, and wondering what is going on with these chaps. 🍄 Why do they appear to have bottoms growing out of their tops? I'm baffled 🐻❄️ as was Mosca. 🪰 Who had to fly. I don't know why. But I guess the clue's in the name with flies. 🪰 Any ideas?
#MushroomMonday #FungiFriends
Ich betrachte Pilze auch als meine Freunde (wir sind ungefähr gleich groß und man kann sehr leicht mit ihnen reden) und es ist unhöflich, deine Freunde zu essen. 🐻❄️❤️🍄🟫
Danke, Monika. 🐻❄️💙👋 Ich esse niemals Pilze und halte auch nicht einmal meine Finger in die Nähe meines Mundes, wenn ich auf Pilzsafari bin. 🍄🟫🍄😷 Und Frank Meringue ist tatsächlich ein ziemlicher Idiot. Ein liebenswerter Idiot, aber trotzdem ein Idiot.👿
You can't beat a rousing fanfare of #lichen trumpets!🎺🎺🎺🎺
Ding! Dong! Funeral Bell! ⚰️🔔
Something about its name says I probably shouldn't add it to an omelette. 🍳 Frank Meringue says "It's probably only called that because they serve it in so many sandwiches at wakes". 🥪
Frank is not a man from whom I take a lot of dietry advice.
🐻❄️👿🍄🚑

I noticed Trunky wasn't looking too happy. So I had a quiet word in his ear. He said he didn't like being called thick. He's actually quite clever. 🤎🌳💚🪵
#ThickTrunkTuesday
I bumped into Frank Meringue again today. Who seemed to be even grumpier than usual. 👿 He was either too hot 🌞 or too cold ❄️. He wouldn't say which. I did tell him to take his scarf off. 🧣 But he wouldn't... He never does.
I have, Small. 👿 He doesn't go out much in the rain. He has grave concerns that his scarf🧣will get wet. He's worried it'll shrink and that it won't fit him anymore... But I'm not entirely sure scarves work like that.🧐 Actually, I might go out and have a look 👀 for him tomorrow. 🌳 Watch this space! 💙
