I'd never eaten seed cake, much less made it, but Bear's Sisters' Lammas Seed Cake from @annelouiseavery.bsky.social #OldFox is delicious and very easy. If it rains again this afternoon, I have a date with the oven.

The Elderly Squirrel is an @annelouiseavery.bsky.social #OldFox character who represents the 1930s rural poor: an often aged underclass which still exists today, experiencing financial vulnerability and social exclusion, yet whose poverty is hidden by the idyllic affluence that surrounds them.
Here's generosity! The Patreon of @annelouiseavery.bsky.social is (as I've mentioned before) my favourite place on the internet. It's so filled with love and laughter and poignancy and brilliant recipies that it feels like another, better world. Please support Anne Louise and #OldFox if you can. 🦊
A painted portrait of the actor Leslie Howard by Reginald Grenville Eves. Howard is portrayed against a blue background. He is seated in a wooden armchair, facing a quarter left, and wears a grey suit with a white shirt and blue-and-red checked tie. The suit jacket has four buttons on the cuffs, and there is a neatly-folded handkerchief in Howard's breast pocket. He wears a gold ring on each little finger, and a lighted cigarette burns between the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Image credit: Kirklees Museums and Galleries, via Art UK.
P.S. Followers of @annelouiseavery.bsky.social will know and appreciate that she has chosen Howard to portray the gently, kindly, pragmatic and shell-shocked Doctor in her #OldFox stories. 🦊
(Howard took up acting as a way to deal with the PTSD he suffered after serving in the First World War.)
For some reason, I thought of this today. A tale from Old Fox's Cottage, told by @annelouiseavery.bsky.social (originally in the other place) with a message of simple friendship that is eternally fresh and delightful. #OldFox
Because this heartfelt story is so important, so vital in the course of our history and the pattern of this moment, @annelouiseavery.bsky.social has very kindly shared it here in its entirety, as a thread. #IslandOfFlowers #IslandOfFriends #OldFox

I will say this again: @annelouiseavery.bsky.social’s #OldFox Patreon account is my favourite place on the internet. It’s a world away from this world, yet still immensely relevant to it, where the true values persist and hope is as perennial as the seasons captured so beautifully in her writing. 🦊
There is nothing in this world like Anne's stories to soothe your soul, patch up your heart, boost your courage, and remind you of the beauty of simple things. She is the antidote to all the yuck. #OldFox
Waiting for the postman, who is a little late calling at our cottage today, gives me a moment to recall this charming vignette by @annelouiseavery.bsky.social, published originally in 2020, when the world was a different place in so many ways.
#OldFox #MayDay
How did you spend your morning? Mine was errands and chores, but none so fine as this vision of a busy #SharpThursday created by @annelouiseavery.bsky.social. Such acts of simple devotion keep parish churches going up and down our land.
