Just getting back onto social media after a long hiatus to finish my SFF novel. One of the joys of not having to write 24/7 is finally picking up a book. Ot two. Waterstones was a joy today. Bought The Blacktongue Thief (Christopher Buehlman) and Daughter of Chaos (A.S Webb). And more to come 📚🪐💙

Spring feels so good in London. The magnolia tree is shooting stars around the garden. 🌠 ✨🌿

Another beauty. This time with an ivy trail. #trees #nature

I get so ridiculously excited when I find a Redwood in England, especially a gloriously cobwebby one like this at Firestone Copse on the Isle of Wight. They remind me of the beauties I saw in Northern California. Thanks to the Victorians, we have them here too 🌲💙

Looked up and saw this wonder at the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Cap Ferrat. Full-on gasp worthy. Pax and dusky pink--I rest my case. Ceiling of my dreams.

Strange is just another word for creative.

Here are the August prompts!! (:

Feel free to give feedback, as I'm still working out how to do these well (e.g. more of a monthly theme, fewer/more snippets, more variety, no repeat questions, etc).

Surf girls of Bangladesh. The girls had been working as street vendors, but began taking surfing and lifeguarding lessons. Despite criticism from the community, they quickly proved they had great talent #WomensArt

Good morning☕💙☕ Have a great Saturday.

Beyond adorable.

Me waking up to the news on the radio alarm. Coming late to Effin' Birds, but finding there is one for my every mood.

The one in the middle is rocking Robert Smith--before he was born, obviously. Feel cool just looking at them.

Apparently, women were excluded from the Bauhaus at first, but these three know they belong there. Unapologetic and defiant. My two favourite words. 💙 #art

I'm in awe of the chaotic magic Irem Yazici has created with her needle and thread in Zora's Garden. Every inch is the start of a fantastical tale💙 ✨ 🪐📚 ✨ 📚✍️ #art
