They’re lovely when they get to be the wise old ruler of the house - like having a great-aunt in the comfy chair.

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day

Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being the same as everyone else.

Normal is boring.
Be wonderfully weird.

My name's Clare and I make crochet patterns, kits, and gifts.

If you don't crochet but would like to learn, I'd love to help! Otherwise I have a range of eco-friendly handmade ornaments and cards you might like.

You can find my shop and blog here: littleconkers.co.uk

Asking for a retwoot (not sure of correct term on here) is wincey I know, but my Etsy shop is my living atm due to wonky mental health so I'd be mega grateful for a small boost.

I empathize. I got mine a new tree, & they do like it, but Oswin won’t let me throw the bottom of the old one away. Every time we go to move it he gets in & glowers at us. It’s all shredded inside & quite manky but I guess it isn’t going anywhere just yet.

“It was a very hot day when they buried Dr Torrance.” I absolutely love my mother’s writing. This is the opening page of her historical novel ‘Flash of Splendour’. Published in 1968, it was about the year of revolutions, 1848.

I realise I’m not giving you much to go on here - I’ll build my profile and work on a banner (if I can figure out how to do that).

I’m finding the same - may be an algorithm thing

Hello everyone I am not a bot, I just haven’t got going with posts yet. Still looking for people I know from XTwitter.
