CAN is taking a break from twitter … but not to our sessions! You can still find us on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 10am.
We’re still on Facebook so you can keep up with everything there. 😀

We’re at the big event celebrating the River Foss this weekend.
Willow Bank, New Earswick.
Willow bank is a big stretch of green by the river.

Pop over to our stand and say Hi!

See if you can spot signs of Spring around the corner, as shoots begin to show and #snowdrops start to bloom.🌱

Look for the nodding white flowers of snowdrops, each carried on a single stem, found in woodlands, parks & gardens and along riverbanks.

Ever feel like you're being watched? 👀

The alluring silver birch 'eyes', formed from lesions left by fallen branches, has earned them the folk-name 'The Watchful Tree', with many believing they were home to spirits that silently & patiently guard their forests #FolkloreThursday
