Something you’re maybe not ready for yet but look for his old passports, I’m sure there will be a load of awesome stamps in them.

Beautiful. I’ve used border Leicester wool before and that’s wonderfully soft yet hardy. I love that design. Always looking for new ways of doing things.

A new version of a popular colourway with cooler, more wintry greens, this is Winter Woodland. It’s perfect for this time of year. You can also get an Advent Calendar - we are almost half way through November! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

Only been as far as Orkney, we get off just before midnight so never bother with bunk in that direction. It’s the car alarms that annoy me most.

Ouch, don’t usually sleep much on the boat anyways but never been too bad, always summer months though.

I finish my job on the 31st. I don’t have a new job to go to. Instead I’m hoping I can create my own. This is both exciting and scary in equal measure.

Post you from a different era.

Me circa 1998, final year of design degree in Edinburgh. Supposedly working hard, more likely hungover.

What I want to know is can I listen to the soundtrack of #RiotWomen anywhere? I have β€œred” and β€œyou’re just like your mother” going round my head.

Drove past Asda at the beach earlier and could see English flags waving at the protest near there. Figures that they can’t even get the country they are supposedly β€œprotecting” right. I’m sure most are probably paid to be there by likes of Farage and cronies.

I shall forever be proud of my cousin who was involved in the construction of the wind farm there that pisses him off so much.

Hi, I’ve had a rough few months mental health (so income) wise & engagement is way down over on twitter. If you could maybe RT my workshop saleπŸ‘‡πŸΌto help put my classes in front of more eyes it would help so so much. Thankyou 🌿
