These are so much fun. I loved the Aard Vark one last year. Colouring helps reduce stress too 😊
Every year we make a free-to-download-and-print-off-yourself colouring-in Advent Calendar. This year’s heavily features Bigfoots. Please share!

Visually impaired version! I caught a gleaming shoal of stars in the net of my peripheral vision early this morning, but now the sky is milky dark grey and only the highest and brightest of them all still glimmers faintly. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! Under the velvety, starless indigo sky, only a few houses in the valley show warm, glimmering lights. But out in the cold garden, the birds are singing bravely in the dark. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Happy Friday!🥳

Today, I need to control myself.
I'm going to my eye appointment, which is near a bookshop.
But I can't buy anything. I've been ordering so many books online that I'm running out of space.🫣📚

Then, I'm off for the first of two three-day weekends in a row.😄🙌

Visually impaired version! Early this morning, I had a brief glimpse of a myriad of stars in an indigo sky, before the dark mauve-grey clouds moved back in. Now dawn is not so much breaking, as sneaking in at the edges and a gale is rattling and crashing around the house

It was a rainy ☔️ and misty day today, unlike the frosty cold one yesterday.

I managed to quickly snap this photo yesterday of my frosty garden

Visually impaired version! Just briefly, at sunset last night, I glimpsed a patch of pale azure sky and a fluffy little lemon-edged cloud, the kind that should have a cherub sitting on it. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

These fairies were all around Chatsworth House. Not sure why or what they signify - does anyone know?🤔
Also, my book is 99p on Kindle for a couple more days only.

Visually impaired version! I could see only one star high in the early dark, rubbed-velvet sky, but it was so large and bright that it looked as if it might have eaten all the others... and perhaps sometimes that happens? But I suspect this morning the others were just hiding behind the clouds

I hear you, Edna.📚

I already have the bookshelf but my next-door neighbours keep threatening to call the police. Apparently, the ‘secret room’ needs to be on my side!🤷‍♀️🙄

Visually impaired version! A heart-lifting early deep indigo sky, set with too many bright, bright stars to count. Now it has grown prettily marbled in dove grey over steely blue and the birds are stirring in the hedges. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment
