3 years ago, I planted 3 grapefruit seeds from a shop bought grapefruit. I now have these 3 small trees in the greenhouse, I think I'll have to plant them out next year as they're getting too big, but I don't know if they'll survive a British winter outdoors...

This is Majesty, the largest virgin oak tree in the UK. I'm lucky enough to live near it, its between 800 and 1000 years old, and the trunk is completely hollow!
I'd forgotten I'd taken this photo till I saw #ThickTrunkTuesday trending..

Had some beautiful conversations for my #blog this week which is launching soon. Discussions about #energyprotection #systemsthinking #flow #allotments #environmentalresponsibility #permaculture #turninginwards #observation Website on its way although Wordpress challenging me 😵‍💫

Thinking about a new electric car. Friends have bought a BYD - the seats are a bit psychedelic but it is generally a good lower-cost bundle - but I really don’t feel like I could drive around in something with Build Your Dreams in big words across the back. As for car names, I thought that was the worst.
Until I read today that carmaker Ora is going to debut in NZ with this doozy:
Good Cat.
Yep. A car called Good Cat. Cute car, but sheesh…

"Gardening is one of the most vital practices for teaching people the art of creaturely life. With this art people are asked to slow down and calibrate their desires to meet the needs and potential of the plants and animals under their care. Gardeners are invited to learn patience and to develop the sort of sympathy in which personal flourishing becomes tied to the flourishing of the many creatures that nurture them." ~ Norman Wirzba

Not so red kite.

A few years ago, when I visited a red kite feeding station in mid-Wales, I was very pleased to see the "celebrity" kite put in an appearance.

This leucistic white-coloured red kite was stunning and stood out from the crowd.

There was another one around too, though it still had wing tags, and wasn't quite so white.

HOW TO DEFEAT BORIS: all other parties should stand down in Uxbridge & South Ruislip at the next election, and let me take him down. That way he won't just lose, he'll lose in the way he deserves. #BinBoris

Don’t be afraid to remove a chapter - even several - if they don’t work. (Hold onto them, elsewhere, but put them aside if you need to.) #AmWriting

St Andrews is a great wee town in a great wee country - #Scotland.
Famous for the golf, but I just ignore that bit! It's got some lovely scenery on the beach areas, the cliffs and rocks, the botanic gardens and some great walks. Who needs golf!

I painted this one with oil pastel, the finer details ae colour pencil.

"Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things. "
~ Elise Boulding

Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you."
