@curtisshaw9 We are missing you! Hope all is ok

@StagecoachCNL Thanks for your reply. National Highways have announced that the new A585 bypass will be opening on 18th December (or sometime that week commencing). Then an immediate closure of the Garstang Road section between Singleton crossroads and Windy Harbour.

@StagecoachCNL Do you have any information about how the imminent closure of Garstang Road on the new A585 bypass will affect the 42 Blackpool to Lancaster service (via Great Eccleston and Garstang). Thank you

@RSPBEngland Our relationship with nature broke a long, long, long time ago. Until there is some severe, proper punishments and consequences, nature and wildlife don’t stand a chance. A revolution is desperately needed in this country.

@JulianPowerVO What absolute dimwit has renamed it on Google already. The same sort of twit who cut the tree down, I presume.

@Traffic_M6 An absolute disgrace. Which numpty thought it would be a good idea to close the motorway for the whole weekend to do this work and which cretin allowed it to happen? God help us all - who the hell are these people? 😡😠🤬 Absolute imbeciles.

When the thread tangles and knots twice in the space of 60 seconds, it's time to call it a night 😴

All of my most recent portrait orders have had requests for babies in arms. This is a little blue bundle I have stitched this afternoon 👶🏼 #UKEtsyRT #UKCraftersHour #htlmp #shopindie #HandmadeHour #CraftHour #hmuk_crafters #getyourcraftpageseen #crossstitchpeople #etsyfinds #etsy

The traditional gift for a second wedding anniversary is cotton and my cute couples portraits are proving popular for anniversary gifts at the moment.

@DwrCymru @birdwriter7 Absolutely horrendous news. Let's hope and pray the person or persons responsible get caught, named and shamed, then their home set about with a chainsaw.

I have just totted everything up and I have just realised that I am about to start my 50th portrait! #HandmadeHour #handmade #craft #handmadewithlove #stitchpeople #crossstitchpeople #couplesportrait #familyportrait

Meet the Maker starts again tomorrow. Will I be able to complete it this time? I started it and fizzled out the first time I tried, then got interrupted by lockdown last year. I'll give it a good go anyway! #marchmeetthemaker #smallbusiness #behindthescenesphotos #howitsmade

My stitch portraits are often ordered as gifts for other people, so as not to spoil any surprises, I hang on until I know they have been received - usually with a bit of social media stalking or a message from the customer! Here's the latest portrait! #UKGiftAM #shopindie #couple

@htlmp Hello! I'm here trying to re-start my twitter! I keep posting the odd thing, then get so confused with Twitter, then leave it for months!
