Hello Bluesky. We're new here. We'll share ideas, guidance, and opinions from innovative thinkers, authors, and campaigners, as well as veggie recipes and extracts from exciting new books.

We're big on pausing to notice the little things. So expect moss, plucky plants and seasonal loveliness too.
Anyone else turn into a full-time blossom & blue-sky chaser the second it stops raining?

The power of small steps - start your day with a cuppa outdoors for better sleep. To spark creativity, open your sketchbook and draw.

And... "If you hear a voice within you say, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh

In the cracks of concrete, where life finds a way,
Little treasures emerge, brightening the day.
Wall moss like soft cushions, a whimsical sight,
Pavement plants popping up, what pure delight! (1/2)
