Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

1. Glorious spring day. Cloudless sky.
2. Blurry frolicking lambs - I had to zoom because they were far. The black one. 🖤
3. A cute card in the post. So simple. Love the ❤️ nose.

Excuse his language.

@roisinm.bsky.social In these terrible times in this world, it was an absolute joy to read this book. I loved the character of Lydia and her story. It made me cry but it also filled me with happiness.We need more books like yours, a good story, so well written. Thank you Roisin. 😘

Thanks so much Michelle x

Thanks - and she won't notice the messy bits!

Rear view of cat. Tail is hilarious, and not a little phallic. 😳😳

1. More bad drawing, this time in Lissycasey School as part of World Book Day. Delightful.
2. Grand niece as Alice in Wonderland for WBD. ❤️💙
3. The fruit of my labours since I joined the Stitch & Bitch. For Alice, obviously. Don't zoom in - it's full of mistakes.

Beautiful!

Great!

Me telling a story and drawing along.

Spring bouquet. Adorable.

#3goodthings
1. Treated the infants of Our Lady of Lourdes school in Limerick to some of my very bad drawing.
2. Signed books in O'Mahonys bookshop afterwards.
3. Added daffs to the Aldi spring bouquet. It is a thing of wonder. The SCENT.

Great book. And yes.

Stop! Maximum capacity reached!

Pot by the front door with primroses and a welcome sign.

A wild sea at Spanish Point. High tide, lots of suds.

#3goodthings
1. Hot cross breakfast. 😋😋😋
2. New arrival to the doorside.
3. Perfect spring day, cold and bright, so after hanging up my laptop I pulled on the layers and walked to the sea. Magnificent today, all foam and crashing waves. Snap doesn't come close to doing it justice.

Tasty.

Not yet.

2. Patio daffs coming on.
3. Curry. Only possible dinner for a most unspringlike day.

Ha ha - thanks Anita!

Cool!

Good, thanks!

Not really. The occasional unenthusiastic lick.

Hey kids 👋

Fancy a bit of retail therapy?

We make lots of lovely things and we could do with a few orders.

Reposts would be fabulous too, I swear I am not demanding.
