Too many tree-less streets ⛔️🌳

📢We're calling for a 🌳national street forest 🌳to fill the thousands of miles of empty kerbside

We're told we're short on space, but roads offer the opportunity to plant millions 🌳🌳

Bring the many benefits of 🌳 to where we actually live🧑‍🤝‍🧑🏡

Be careful mama said
Once darkness arrives
Even your own shadow leaves

The stray ones’ll arrive
as shadows in the dark
Sticking but they’re no friend

Mama be careful I said
I am, a stray one
Darkness my only true friend
Like #glue to it, I stick

Thank you so much for posting pictures of Hidden in Childhood - the first publication of Literary Revelations Publishing House. I am so honored by your participation. This book traveled with me everywhere. It is #glue -d to my soul. The Amazon link and my poem below:

Childhood by Gabriela…

'Spring Shadows' by UK artist and printmaker Rebecca Vincent #WomensArt

Fascinating reading today all about the firm H&M Rayne who began in the 1890s as theatrical costumers before turning to high end shoe design, favoured by three Queens in the c20th. These fabulous #1900s boots belonged to the performer Kitty Lord Museum of London #fashionhistory

Our resident male blackbird who fights cats, laughs at squirrels & launches air strikes against pigeons no longer needs to sing his ‘fill the bird feeder & bath’ song. He now silently controls my subconscious while he watches me provision him from his favourite branch

If you want to know why I’m never going to stop fighting to save swifts, come to Winestone’s Book shop in Sherborne tomorrow- 10th April 7pm. I will be talking about the finch who lived in my hair & the swift who redefined my life, both immortalised in #Fledgling . #birds #wild

Embroidery (detail) created by women of the Otomi people of central Altiplano, Mexico #womensart

I met a mouse out for a walk today checking on the wild daffodils. They said to say hi. celestineandthehare.com/new-collection…

EIGHTEEN MONTHS into my campaign. The proposal to add a swift brick requirement to Building Regulations is ready, approved & recommended by ALL experts. Without swift bricks there’s no guaranteed nesting habitat for swifts&there never will be. The govt CAN give them a future. ⏳

Meet the Devil you don't know (she likes to be called Ella) at the crossroads of love, sacrifice, time, chaos, & abuse in this haunting tale of second chances & strange redemption.

AN ANCIENTE MAPPE of FAIRYLAND newly discovered and set forth. London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1918. Printed by Vincent Brooks Day & Son. Bernard Sleigh’s masterpiece is well worth gazing into #MythologyMonday

I've forgotten what carthic means
It's shape has deflated and torn
The ghost of tonal blares with crossfire
& cross purpose
Without a loved one to tell, it has little meaning
Merely sounds

“Eclipse”

This needs dark 1980s synth music. ;-) Sharing this one from August again today as we have clear skies to observe the North American solar eclipse in my yard this afternoon. We won’t experience full totality here, but it’ll be close at 97%. Pretty neat!

Art by me.
