October sunshine lights up the little cutlery bird sculpture perched on a big old saw on the back of the wooden doors at #broadstairsmetalcraft on Broadstairs High street and it's things like this that make my heart sing
April looked like...
I don't think I've ever done one of these month round up videos before. Quite enjoyed it. Lots of stuff last month made me smile a lot. The phone chose the pictures.

Can't decide what to bid for in the @marinestudios_margate secret postcard auction this weekend.
So many brilliant little artworks including from some really stellar artists. V v hard to choose what to go for.
I have actually managed to submit a little artwork of my own too. I won't say if it's featured in this selection or not obviously - it's all top secret.
These are some of my favourites.
From tomorrow Marine Studios are running a four day mini festival 'Words Change Things' with loads going on. Go see!

Obsessed with these walls, now we've finally decorated this room, after taking 15 years 😱 to choose a colour to replace the inoffensive soft green left by the previous owner. 😁
It's Petticoat Lane by @emmajanepalin for @coatpaints
- Emma happens to live in Ramsgate and has a gorgeous little interiors and hardware shop on Addington Street there @ourcuratedabode. My clever friend @iamdorisday
Took me in there to teach me about natural pigment paints and I'm now a total convert. Had no idea when I chose the paint that Emma had actually developed the colour and it's part of a special range with her name in it! How grown up is that!? I mean, she told me, but I didn't understand what it meant 🫣
The wonderful @twinkletroughton did the decorating and we are thrilled with her work. The room looks stunning. It's an old house with lots of imperfections in the walls, ceiling and old windows but she has achieved an exceptional finish and we really appreciated her skill and the care she took with every detail.
I've even hung one of my artworks on the wall as the revamped space has somehow given me a bit of extra creative confidence that for some reason I've been lacking till now (previously propped against a wall in the spare room since we moved here in 2011. 🤷♀️)
Thank you Twinkle, Emma and Sue!
Come with us for a walk through Pierremont Park in Broadstairs and see why we are so passionate about a little corner of our park which is under threat.

I hadn't seen @mark.manders work before today. Loved this little sculpture (thoughtfully positioned in front of an emotive painting by Tracey Emin) and even more so when I read about it on his insta.
We are lucky to have @carlfreedmangallery in Margate. Today was the last day of Crossing into Darkness show, curated by the wonderful @traceyeminstudio . I'm so glad to have seen the show, the overarching premise of which was so very moving. This was my favourite piece 🙏
Thank you to @broadstairsbeacon and editor @_lorrainew for a whole page about what’s coming at the Easter @broadstairsfoodfest

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
