    Yesterday&amp;#39;s #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1. A peaceful day at home getting things done in the slowest of ways. 2. The good company of Mrs Mac Gwylan, one of the herring gull couple who visit us, who has taken to spending most of her day in deep contemplation on our garden gate. 3. Cooking vegetable pasanda traybake for the first time. Delicious!

    Just popping in very briefly for #SmallBeautiesHour &amp;amp; then back later! Here are some #SmallBeauties from my days: growing baby tomatoes, wasps on fennel &amp;amp; frilly hydrangeas in my lady employer&amp;#39;s garden, and a plumptious, shining apple in the Crossbones Graveyard garden. Bliss.

    Recent Little Church of Love of the World makings ~ Firstly, my annual beard, made in honour of bearded lady Saint Uncumber who grew her fine whiskers to avoid the unwanted attentions of a suitor. In medieval times the Cult of St Uncumber was very popular with many women praying to her to be unencumbered from their troublesome husbands! My second making is a paper wreath for Lammas. I have a mixed history with paper folding makings. Don&amp;#39;t even talk to me about my origami cat! On we...

    Today&#39;s #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1. Reading &#39;Oliver Twist&#39; all morning, and Charles Dickens&#39; joyous way of tumbling down the edifices of the rich &amp; hypocritical. 2. Meeting four people I know within 5 mins of going into the supermarket &amp; having a happy chat with a fellow Cool Crutches user. We both have glitter walking sticks at home! 3. The arrival of bird feeding supplies. #ReasonsToBeCheerful

    My weekend&#39;s #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1. Seeing a friend, meeting a previously online-only friend in physical reality, &amp; visiting my favourite place in London (Crossbones Graveyard in Southwark) after 6 years away. 2. Watching dragonflies chasing thistledown in the Crossbones garden. 3, Dust rising from a pigeon as she shook her feathers on the platform at London Bridge station.

    Yesterday&#39;s #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings, plus #SmallBeauties 1. Starting the day with Napalm Death doing a Tiny Desk Concert. Who could have imagined!? https://youtu.be/e81LZCHhNKQ?si=qG7HiaoMWwR_rvzS 2. More time than I could have hoped for to marvel at a fritillary butterfly basking on our garden buddleia. It&#39;s wings were, of course, beautiful but its body had the most stunning &amp; unexpected green sheen. 3. Big Dan the Footman, my chiropodist, visiting to bring my feet back fr...

    Yesterday&#39;s #ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings 1. Cats, Henhouse &amp; Lantern-eyed Danny Dyer, lounging in the shade of a car in our communal car park. They have spent most of the summer there spread out like melted butter. 2. A mystery parcel containing insect bite cream sent as a surprise by a kind friend. 3. Finding a tiny Lego robot with a spider motif in the supermarket carpark. I am scared of spiders but, later, I was able to let one hop onto my hand so that I could put it somewhere s...

Chatting to our neighbour about the fruit her dog likes to eat. 3. Finishing some minutes that I should have written weeks and weeks ago. Phew!

The delivery of Henhouse the cat&#39;s bi-monthly catnip mouse subscription.

    I&#39;m a writer, poet, hedgevicar, &amp; compost theologian, believing in sacred activism through hedgeprayer, #smallbeauties, wild hope, &amp; the quiet magic of a nice cup of tea. Since 2020, I&#39;ve offered gatherings online through the Little Church of Love of the World; a multi-faith welcoming hedge-church exploring solidarity, liberation, &amp; beautiful resistance through the land, plants, re-visioned wild saints, &amp; community. I believe that daisies are stronger than Empire, alwa...

    Time for my first Mastodon #SmallBeauties: houseleeks flowering in my lady employer&#39;s garden, the smell of lemon balm on a hot day, baby tomatoes &amp; sun through lavender, a tiny harvest of three ripe cherries from our garden tree.

    As I first commented on that Twitter (RIP) all those years ago, I have no idea what I&#39;m doing. But hello anyway!
