Escomb Church is one of only four complete Anglo-Saxon churches left in England.

Some of its stones were already ancient when the church was built, taken from a nearby Roman fort

[VenetiaJane's Garden @VenetiaJane]

Ye silent wooers of the wishing flowers
That, blushing, lure you to their honeyed halls,
Dance out your golden day, and steal its hours,
Till o'er you, as o'er men, Death's slumber falls:
Till Spring shall blow "Resurgum” o'er the lea,
And name you types of Immortality! - J. Rigg

Imagine living inside a real-life holiday card. ❄️🏡 This fairytale Tudor cottage looks like it was plucked straight out of a storybook. Who wants to sip hot cocoa by that fireplace while the snow falls outside?

Cozy Nostalgia
Cinematic Fairytale

New Zealand’s tiny black robin named 2026 Bird of the Year after a remarkable recovery

The karure, or black robin, was down to just five birds in 1980. Thanks to decades of conservation efforts, around 350 adults now survive across two protected islands

The garden dinosaur was in the same spot this morning. Looks like it’s claimed its corner of Jurassic Patio. The birds are making themselves at home too, with one at the feeder and another keeping watch from the wire.

Came over all giddy when I came across these beauties on the hike today. I still have a smile on my chops 😇

Well, my fatassery was a good thing. I went out to the garage freezer to get ice cream and found a spiderweb covered Anna’s hummingbird. I cleaned him up and took him outside. He flew off after about 30 seconds.

Parure with Necklace, Earrings & Original Box, 1700-1759

Topazes set in silver, rock crystal with foils set under each crystal.
The fact that parure has survived intact for so long is incredible. I adore the box so much!
The necklace & earrings would have had silk ribbons attached to the loops to secure them to ones self.

No politics.
No religion.
No support acts.
No carefully scripted apologies.
No billionaire pleasing.
No AI.
No bullshit.

Spend time in your gardens folks…not on paid for news feeds and socials.
You’ll find nicer creatures and lower cortisol.
