Found this bug on my raspberry plant. Does anybody know what it is?
The spiders have been busily adorning the garden overnight.
I spent several minutes watching these two insects eyeing up each other as they washed their faces. A joy to watch them.
This tree branch @SWTCarltonMarsh soon filled up with many visitors
A morning of contrasts @SWTCarltonMarsh today
From the large, accidently watered, to the tiny mountaineers - my little garden has it all!
Just enjoyed a meal cooked by my son. Would show you a pic, but I was too hungry to take one!
Thrilled to have a poem in @TheFriendMag Fireside Book 2023, based on the many walks across Norfolk and Suffolk
This little snail has found it's own little habitat in a vegetable run to seed. The flowers were buzzing with insects earlier in the month.
Amazed to watch caddisfly larvae making their casings out of leaves, lots of them on the surface of my pond!
Thought I'd have a slice of changing cake in celebration of my poem being published in @TheFriendMag latest special
It's been too hot to stay in the garden, so added a couple of crochet bees for the table top display.
Was sorting out the sideshoots on my tomatoes when this moth stopped me in my tracks. Needless to say, I left the leaf alone.
Love those cloud bag charms, as entertaining as the book is sure to be.
Latest garden lodgers and visitors, enjoying different plants.

I’m excited to have a story in the latest edition of The People’s Friend. Thank you to Martin Baines for the lovely illustration. @TheFriendMag
@TheFriendMag I usually take a break and then find that there is always something that can be saved or rewritten.
There's not only a brilliant new weekly out tomorrow, but a Special too! We have a brilliant long-read crime by Alison Carter and fab stories by @TeresaAshby Sarah Scotford-Smith Moira Smyth Hayley Johnson-Mack @BecRobinWriter Ros McKenna (1/2)
@TheFriendMag #PFWritingHour Q6. Yes. I will always shelve a book if I'm not enjoying it. I had to stop listening to an audio book, read by the author, a usually whimsical chap. But it was getting bogged down and afraid I lost interest. Very disappointing.
@TheFriendMag Yes, I started reading a crime novel by a local author (ex cop) and it was too unpleasant and graphic for me and I quickly abandoned it. Luckily I only paid 99p for the Kindle version. I didn't bother going to his talk at the library after that either!
@keelerangie @TheFriendMag I had the same response after watching the film adaptation with Johnny Depp. In my case, the headless horseman had taken up residence behind the living room curtains...
@TheFriendMag Beyond Belief by Emlyn Williams, about the Moors murders. I was quite young - though an adult - and found it very disturbing. Mostly I stop reading books that bore me as life is too short!
@TheFriendMag If a book was freaking me out then I’d be turning the pages at speed to se what happens next! I rarely stop reading a book for any other reason than that it is boring me silly!
@TheFriendMag No, but I stopped reading one yesterday by an American author who kept throwing in British slang without understanding it. There are words which are never used in polite company. It was boring too.
@TheFriendMag A.6 I have, but it was obviously so terrifying that the title has deserted me. I recall descriptions like rattling of door handles & window frames and I was reading this book on a dark and stormy night . . . . @PFWritingHour
@TheFriendMag Can't. I used to do a lot of singing and if I listen to music, all I will think about is the music
@TheFriendMag I had a few fits and starts in my early writing days but I only step away from it now after major life events eg when my Dad died in 2018 I couldn't write anything sad but did a lot of reading and fun writing
@TheFriendMag I give up on books that are unremittingly depressing or negative. They don't freak me out, but I just start thinking that life is too short to bother with them!
@TheFriendMag Yes. Have erased the title from mind but won't read anything by that person again...
@TheFriendMag Not so much being freaked as being depressed by what I was reading
Q.6 Have you ever had to stop reading a particular book because it was freaking you out too much? #PFWritingHour
@TheFriendMag The radio is usually on in the background. At the minute, I'm enjoying Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and The Wailers.
@TheFriendMag When I’m thinking, I like to have music on in the background, but when I am actively writing, I prefer silence. Although, when words are coming fast, nothing distracts me, and I can concentrate amidst turbulence !
@TheFriendMag Sometimes. I usually have a reference in my books to a piece or pieces of music and I like to play them - a bit like @lizfilleul I will play from the era it's set in, which helps me to 'get in the zone'.
