Proud to be lefty woke gardener, knitter writer of regrettable poetry. Love life as an immigrant in Portugal ex Brit. Very happy at UK election result. Rejoin Europe
With the weather being so grim, wet and cold I have been at the sewing table getting creative! A summer coat. Mandarin collar , side splits and a contrasting lining. My least fave bit coming up… hems!

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

The weather has been so grim! Named Storms bringing lashing rain and high winds the garden looks so sad. So seeds selected and planted in a cool greenhouse. When I say greenhouse I mean a number of clear plastic packing boxes 😊

My happy place, especially with sun on my face. Ornamental grasses chopped back. Potted Roses planted. Compost heap pulled over, well rotted stuff spread on the raised veg bed. ❤️

Just think - a mere 24 hours ago Farage was savaging the BBC for offending the ‘leader of the free world’ and Tory MP Nigel Huddleston was saying the BBC should grovel to him.

As Atlantic storms race across Portugal I light a fire for cheer and get the knitting out. Pets on the sofa, soft yarn and needles clacking calms my centre that lashing rain has disturbed

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.
