A couple of firsts for us this year, kohlrabi and jerusalem artichokes, this is obvs the latter 😊

Mashed potato yes!! They're growing well!!

From beauty to horror in much haste
Now its full of mess and pollution,
A wasteland with no solution,
Plastic, death and heating,
Those three things gave earth such a beating,
It's a horrid, cruel excuse of a land
In these conditions, earth will NOT stand

But maybe... (3/5)

Full of beauty as far as you could see,
It had cats and dogs and parrots galore,
It had ferns, leaves, trees and more
It was a happy place,
A happy world,
a world that puts a smile on your face

But now...

Now it is messy, disrupted,
Chaos totally erupted,
Now it's a world gone to waste (2/5)

A happy world,
a world that puts a smile on your face

But now...

Now it is messy, disrupted,
Chaos totally erupted,
Now it's a world gone to waste
From beauty to horror in much haste
Now its full of mess and pollution,
A wasteland with no solution,
Plastic, death and heating

Also fitted in some time at #WillsMemorial building @bristoluni.bsky.social
And very importantly managed to catch up with my niece and my eldest son and his partner - and enjoy being a mother outlaw 🙂

and then at the inaugural International Child and Family Conference #ICFC2025 at @bristoluni.bsky.social on "Couple's articulations of gender equality while navigating the planning of care for their child's first year" - and to hear amazing presentations on children and family policy.

Yes all good here 👍

Brilliant news!! Congratulations!!! 👏

Thank you for sharing...!
