Earlier this year I stayed with family and I’d take the little one to the shops and we’d buy crumpets and come home and share them. Months on in the supermarket with her mummy she made Aunty this little song 🧇 🧇 🧈 😊 #family#love
Van Gogh didn't paint flowers just because they were beautiful. 🌸
For Vincent, they were the perfect way to experiment with colour and contrast. That's why many of his flower paintings are just as much about colour as they are about nature.

Did you know that every spring in April, the desert city of Taif in Saudi Arabia transforms into a sea of fragrant pink roses? These blooms are carefully handpicked by farmers and distilled into precious rose water and oil, some of which is used to cleanse the sacred Kaaba in Makkah.
With nearly a thousand rose farms, Taif has become a centre for this centuries-old tradition, where thousands of petals are harvested daily and processed in copper distilleries. Deeply rooted in Islamic culture, the rose is often seen as a symbol of the soul, its scent carrying a sense of beauty, purity, and spirituality that has endured for generations.
Maya Hawke will star in The God of the Woods, a new series adaptation of the bestselling novel by Liz Moore, coming soon to Netflix.
She’ll play Judy Luptack, a smart and quietly determined investigator assigned to unravel the disappearance of a young girl from a summer camp in upstate New York.

There is no timetable for how long grief lasts, or how you should feel at a particular time of year. But remember, you are not alone.

💐 Van Gogh's 'Vase with Thistles', painted in Auvers-sur-Oise (FR), captures the vibrancy of his friend Dr Gachet’s garden. We see purple thistles in an earthenware pot, accompanied by colourful green leaves.
The painting remained in Auvers after Van Gogh passed away in July 1890. It was possibly given to someone in the village. The work eventually ended up in the collection of a famous French art collector, at the beginning of the 20th century. Nowadays, ‘Vase with Thistles’ can be seen at The Pola Museum of Art in Hakone, Japan.

Worked with a lady once who was pretty much universally despised. Any time a round of tea was made she would say to not squeeze the teabag. Every, single, time. It's fair to say that we all squeezed the shit out of the teabags.

Ever felt like you’re ‘too emotional’ in a dispute? Van Gogh would probably say – good! 💛
Vincent saw conflict and mistakes as a strength, not a flaw – a sign that we’re learning, feeling, growing.
Would you agree?
