The threatened exodus from Twitter is like moving to a new area, settling in then seeing For Sale boards planted outside the nicest neighbours houses. Will they actually move? Will their homes stand empty? Will they change their minds?

November and our gardens are brightly starred with flowers, geraniums thickly budded and tulip bulbs are pushing up.

I found a second hand copy of The Secret Garden in Tewkesbury on Wednesday and am relaxing into the consoling power of the story again over 70 years since I first read it.

Chester here brings to mind another K9 spotted by an off duty policeman a while ago. I made up a back story and only polished up his achievements a little bit. What truly amazing animals they are.

Post war, when fireworks began to reappear anticipation and excitement over bonfire night was off the scale. Dads set up bonfires, mums the baked potatoes and toffee apples and for one night only kids learned that sharing meant you got more.

Ronnie O’Sullivan on imperious form in the Champion of Champions snooker tournament. Good to see the players in comfortable sport shirts instead of the usual formal get up.

Tuesday painting.
More Worcester Pershore sprays, some unused. Pre digital, actual artwork was sent out to clients and was sometimes damaged. The strawberry motif returned from a sales conference crossed out in thick black pencil but I managed to restore it.

This old fashioned quartered rose was grown and loved by another member of the Worcester Porcelain design team. He asked me to incorporate it into the Pershore pattern range so I did.

This is to thank the gardeners and flowers growers whose posts are such a delight, and in remembrance of the scorching summer of 1976 when glow worms and nightingales visited our corner of Worcestershire.

I was touched and amused to see a pack of frozen chicken Kievs in the supermarket with revised spelling. We can now buy Chicken Kyivs.

Canadian, Darrick Thomson works with Thai Elephant Conservation in Chiangmai. He was away for 18 months due to covid19 (all Thai boarders were closed then). See the elephants reactions when they hear him calling on return.

There were no bright leaves to put with the conkers so I chose this stoppered Corsican pot I found in a charity shop.

I find that writing about things I don’t like and can do nothing about draws the sting a little, so this is what I did to insomnia which features on here quite often.
