@CarlBovisNature If only @CarlBovisNature but it’s a delight - as ever! - when I do!

@TheKentAcorn That’s why I paint an impression of them instead:

@arealmofwonder Definitely D for me as I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Spring.

@CarlBovisNature A wonderful photograph @CarlBovisNature! I haven’t seen a bullfinch since I was a teenager in the 80s, sadly.

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble Ah! What a relief! I’ve been all over the place. Now I know why. Thank you x

@CarlBovisNature Two days ago - but yes, I’m always excited when I see one as they really seem rather coy. I love the way they bip about 🥰🥰.

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

It's been a v rough year for me with a full breakdown & trying to get back on my feet financially since then. If you come across this tweet it would help me *so much* if you could retweet my post above👆 about my Etsy shop-it will put the things I make in front of more eyes. Thankyou 🌿

@silverpebble @19clinton I meant to add - but don’t know how to - how fab that is for your daughter. I hope she can continue to channel that passion and focus. She’s so lucky to have a mum like you to support and encourage her along the way.

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble @19clinton Thank you Emma - I knew you’d approve! I can even remember where I found most of those beauties! The fungi passion continues. I also have notebooks for fish (especially tropical fish) somewhere. I love coming upon these treasures and immersing myself in them again. WYKYK.

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@19clinton @silverpebble Thank you - as I said, I acknowledge I was a strange teenager. This is just one of my notebooks… think I was about 13 or 14 at the time. There’s a Fly Agaric in there too, if you look closely!

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@CarlBovisNature Twyford, Berkshire - I’m not much of a photographer so please have one of my drawings instead!

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble Probably, once I’d recovered from the worrying, that is.

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble 👏🏻👏🏻Congratulations! I mean that sincerely. Also I’d have thought the Dad and daughter feedback alone will have made it feel all worthwhile? It would’ve done for me.

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble So… how did it go?

[Sonia Scott Job @OnTheMildSide_]

@silverpebble I came to one of your silversmithing workshops in January 2020 and it was a highlight of what turned out to be quite an awful year (with massive understatement, and not just for me, I well know!!). I think of it often, with fondness. You go girl.

My new small museums for mental health w'shop will take place on Saturday 4 October.
There's recent very compelling research showing that collecting & also arranging your collections neatly alters brain biochemistry to alleviate anxiety & lift mood.
Includes:
2 hr zoom class in which we'll make & photograph small museums & 30% off my Etsy shop 🌿🪶🪸🗝️🐚🧠

@silverpebble Makes huge sense. And I am always so much happier when I’m outside - whatever the weather, actually. Probably should’ve been a hedgehog.
