It’s quite an art. I only have one when I led Rob Rinder in a murder in 2007! Even then cost me £400. We were acquitted

Courtroom sketch artists, like Sian Frances, offer the public a glimpse behind the doors of the most high-profile trials. And they do it all from memory.

So, which medieval owl are you feeling today on this #Newmoon? #OwlishMonday #FairyTaleTuesday

[Ir.ALEXIS ™I @dufitalexis1]

This is a ladybird larva. It looks nothing like a ladybird. It looks like a tiny black alligator with orange spots — and most gardeners crush it thinking it's a pest.

That mistake costs the garden dearly. An adult ladybird eats around 50 aphids a day. Its larva can devour up to 500 before it pupates. Ten times as many. That strange-looking creature working its way along your tomato stems is the most effective phase of a ladybird's entire life.

Once you know what to look for, the larva is unmistakable: an elongated blue-black body with six orange spots along the sides, six short legs, slow and methodical movement up and down stems. It doesn't fly, doesn't jump, doesn't hide. It moves from one aphid colony to the next and feeds continuously for two to three weeks before pupating.

The pupa looks like a small, still orange droplet fixed to a leaf — and it too gets removed during routine plant tidying. Inside it, the adult ladybird is forming.

If you find aphids on a plant and ladybird larvae among them, leave them alone. The biological control is already working.

Thursday

[Ralph Steadman Art @SteadmanArt]

Unclaimed things: orphaned umbrellas, lonely gloves, half-finished thoughts left trembling in public places. Objects with stories nobody came back for—still waiting, still accusing. Lost & Found is just a museum of small abandonments.

Spiders & webbs are often added to crazy quilts as symbols of good luck and industry. Crazy quilts, popular in the 19thc, are a patchwork of irregular fabric scraps, thus differing from quilts with neat geometric patterns #Womensart #QuiltArtWeek

A new year — a timeless miracle.
Peacock butterflies, newly emerged from their Nettles Nursery, resting briefly before taking to the wider world.
Metamorphosis reminds us that change happens in its own time — patient, tender, unseen.
Here’s to small miracles and wild wonder.
