6 months after heart surgery, my husband Andrew is fundraising for BHF. In December, I nearly lost the person who has been my partner for nearly 40 years.
Check out his @JustGiving page and please donate if you can.
Thank you! #JustGiving https://t.co/mwrSwzz1s3
I am very pleased to announce that my bug colour wheel has been accepted into this year’s Royal Academy summer exhibition. This is my sixth time. Have a look it opens on the 16th of June.

Looking at the colour pink has been shown to induce relaxation & looking at something we find beautiful triggers dopamine release in our brains, so this is for you & your brain in case you’re anxious or sad today. 👇🏼
The pinks of May, including an early rose, inspired by Victorian botanical plates 🌿:
Hawthorn is known as the #May Tree. It gifts love & healing & is sacred to the goddess Brigid. “Bringing in the May” meant bringing in an abundance of hawthorn to adorn the outside of dwellings. It is known as a fairy tree & as such should never be harmed. #FolkloreSunday
Lily-of-the-valley is the birth flower of May. A legend tells of a nightingale’s enduring love for this flower, returning each year to sing to his belovèd, & falling silent as her blooms fade away. For this reason the lily-of-the-valley came to symbolise the return of happiness.
As a teenager in the 80's, Andy Kershaw was a must watch & listen to.
His knowledge & enthusiasm of music was huge, and he had a lovely presenting style.
I'm very sad he's left us.
RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.
