Quick-Fingers, the fairies’ dressmaker, once hid beneath a holly bush to escape a goblin. A donkey started nibbling the lower leaves, so she stuck pins all around them. That’s why to this day, the holly’s lower leaves are prickly, while the upper ones stay smooth! #FolkloreSunday

@JoeS0ap It’s always an absolute joy to see the first snowdrops of the year. I usually can’t contain my excitement and do a little dance. I just hope no one sees me! 🤍💃😂

My little Bonnie hasn’t had too many problems but has Paroxysmal dyskinesia so has suffered from seizures since she was three years old. The condition isn’t life threatening though and she is fifteen and a half now, so hasn’t done too badly. She has dementia, and doesn’t see or hear very well, but she’s still a happy little soul!

@ghirlandia It certainly is! I have noticed a robin singing very loudly in my garden each morning over the past week or so, even before it gets light. I think he must be marking his territory for the upcoming nesting season, but his song is absolutely beautiful!
