Wonderful collection of Art Nouveau tiles.
I’ve found some interesting pieces especially this afternoon. This is amongst them. There are always different goodies to be found. The pretty sculpture painted bust made me happy as do these tiles

When I’m not clambering around medieval churches, I embroider strange things. Here’s one I just finished of the White Horse at Uffington - a prehistoric landmark cared for by the @nationaltrust. I spent so much time here as a child and it’s always loomed large in my imagination.

So as well as a golden wedding "50 years" and a diamond "60 years", there's now a "25 years" option to celebrate a silver wedding anniversary. I hope you like it! 🤍😍🥳🐢 Available in my Etsy shop: https://t.co/Fca68J3wkd

A brief history of the colour orange:

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

Rangers discovered a one-year-old hippo, whom they have named Owen, alone and dehydrated near Kenya's Indian Ocean coast after he became separated from his herd in 2004.

They took him to a wildlife sanctuary in Mombasa, where he soon found a male tortoise with the same dark grey coloring as adult hippos.

The tortoise initially hissed at Owen, warning him to stay away, but according to park officials the pair have since become inseparable.

The Aldabran tortoise, called Mzee, or "Old Man" in Swahili, now eats and sleeps beside Owen. Rangers say they could not have placed Owen with another herd of hippos as he would have been killed by an adult male.

The park's tourism manager, Pauline Kimoto, told reporters: "Since Owen arrived on 27 December, the tortoise behaves like a mother to him. The hippo follows the tortoise around and licks his face."

It rained, and it rained, and it rained. It rained so hard that Christopher Robin stayed indoors most of the time, and thought about things. Every morning he went out with his umbrella and put a stick in the place where the water came up to. ~A.A.Milne #Stormciaran #rain #flood

This is my favourite of my recent collection photos. I made it when I had surgery on a tumour earlier in the year (turned out to be benign). I tried to create something good when I was terrified. The process of arranging & the gentle colours calmed me down:

Robin in full song! 😍🎶
Taken at the weekend in my Somerset village.
Sometimes it's hard to pick out a singing Robin, you can hear their beautiful voice, but you just kind find the bird in the branches... this was not one of those times! 😁🐦
