From yesterday’s trip out - Penarth front looking all moody. The Malteser icecream from the pier was absolute perfection #penarth

This wasn’t my favourite gin, too bitter and a strong liquorice note that I wasn’t keen on #gin

This is the second of the two wall hangings from the Bucilla pumpkin patch pair kit. This has been a nice kit to sew as I’ve been craving the cooler autumn weather 🍂🍁 #embroidery #bucillakit #sewingismytherapy

My first Sally Rooney book and it won’t be my last. Very readable, it captures so well the chaotic early adult years #reading

This bottle of gin from lovely Southwold didn’t last me long, well recommended @adnamssouthwold.bsky.social

I finished this hoop from #wimperisemroidery last night - it looks so summery 🌸 I was able to get this hoop straight up on the wall because the gamechanger wooden disk meant the back of the hoop was easy to finish ♥️ #hoopembroidery #embroidery #sewingismytherapy

Green tabbouleh for tea, from Georgina Hayden’s ’Nistissima’ #tabbouleh

Intriguing plot twists, nicely written, I struggled with the topic matter at times

I’m a huge fan of the Uncanny podcast (&firmly #teambeliever) so I had to read this. This was so good that I had trouble getting to sleep 🙀👻 #reading #uncanny

A wonderful act of kindness from Metallica after their recent Cardiff gig and I’m here for it ♥️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #metallica #kindness
Metallica donates £20,000 to Cardiff foodbank with 'empty shelves'
Metallica's donation is enough for 9000 meals, as they performed their record-breaking M72 World Tour.

At home this afternoon so I made this Lagana bread from Georgina Hayden’s excellent book ‘Nistissima’ #baking #breadmaking

I’ve wanted to read this book for a while now (I grew up in a flat landscape) and this was a privilege to read. Reflective and thought-provoking #reading

Hailey Park is close to my heart for many reasons. I’ve always felt safe there and I hope that can continue for all. Thinking of those affected www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

This Copper House Pink Gin @adnamssouthwold.bsky.social was a lovely Mother’s Day present from last year ♥️ Really nice with lemonade, a taste of summer #gin #ginandtonic

I’m undecided what my next sewing project will be, maybe something with felt and having a back-up hoop to work on when I’m out and about?

Getting ahead of myself with the seasons 🍁 I finished embroidering this autumn bouquet kit from @pixelsandpurls.bsky.social the colours are lovely & sewing the alliums was very therapeutic. First time using granitos stitch (so simple, but effective) #embroidery #sewingismytherapy

A fantastic read - the characters jump out of the pages. Very cleverly written, the way that each of the characters’ stories and lives are interwoven.

A sinister but so well-written read. It holds up a mirror to show, frustratingly, how little has changed. I’m keen to read more of Sarah Moss’s books #literature #reading #holidayreads

Some photos of our walk along the Exe Estuary trail earlier this week. A favourite walk of mine with lovely views across the estuary, even if it was a hot day. The walk ended with a salad and G&T in the pub in Lympstone

This was a lovely little embroidery kit which I mostly stitched whilst we were away. Kit’s from the excellent @pixelsandpurls.bsky.social

How’s this for longevity? Despite this book borrowed from school having had crayon drawings on its pages nearly 30 years ago, it’s still going strong! The child that did these drawings is probably a way into their 30s now 🤯 (whilst 1997 only seems like yesterday to me).

Tonight’s tea is a Detroit-style deep dish pizza. My first go at making pizza from scratch and won’t be my last #pizza #tonightstea
