Well. If I disappear off here, again, someone definitely has it in for me. Something I replied has been marked as spam by the moderators. It’s something completely innocuous that I reply virtually every day to. This is quite ridiculous

An update from this shambles.

Happy 8th Birthday, my little friend.

One of those rare and glorious sunsets in the uk

22,000+ people vote and elect, again, a grifting liar useless at his job. For some, there is no hope.

In a months time, you’ll be able to buy Christmas merchandise in UK shops !

Excuse the very Scottishness of this but I’m excited.

Nice afternoon bonding back with these 2 !

My “normal” job out of office is on. A wee reminder that prints are still available from my site while I’m away but originals bought in the next week won’t ship until 14/7. Shares and sales very much appreciated 🫶🏻 www.carolmapleyart.com

Predator day at Chester Zoo. Cayman, Snow Leopard, Jaguar and Wild Dog

Please retweet.

Lovely day with the grandchildren. The Highland cow was chilling. The Alpacas were either up in your face, or very stand-offish !

Brilliant day at Little Moreton Hall, a 16th/17th century Tudor house. Well worth visiting, in Cheshire.

It’s World Art Day so I thought it would be nice to do a freebie Wednesday? Win it Wednesday? Oh, I don’t know. Anyway … #worldartday

Couldn't quite get all 3 together. That's wild animals for you !!

Dog sitting this afternoon. They get fed at 4pm, but Honey is on the alert from about 1-30. Every move I make is scrutinised in case it is food time. Bonnie sleeps through it all !

Hello! It’s totally FREE to hit share but can have a huge impact on independent makers getting seen. If you’re on the lookout for some art for your walls head on over. I’m also available for commissions. Thank you 🫶🏻 www.carolmapleyart.com

It's hell out there !

Gone within seconds

Another tough day.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I normally would not soil my page with an image of this sorry excuse for a human. He needs removing from office, and quickly. Republicans, grow a pair, you sick people.

Happy Birthday !

Any chance that Venezuela can invade America and restore some decency and competent government to the USA ?

Ay least these 2 enjoyed a short, very cold romp in the snow !

Happy New Year. Keep warm and safe.

It's a tough decision, but she got there !

Very thrilled to see my very first Little Owl today, in Queens Park Crewe. An absolute gem of a park !

Happy 7th Birthday to my best friend.

A Labour Government telling people they should not protest about the murder of Palestinians. What have they become !?

It's a hard life !

Lovely walk yesterday, but hardly any birdsong. If only governments valued wildlife and the environment.

What is going on here ??

I love seeing and trying to identify butterflies, but moths..........not so much. However, to see this one this morning was just such beautiful symmetry

No. 1 Daughter (eldest) appeared on the BBC website yesterday and today was in the "i" newspaper.

I was reminded this evening about this, which I had on my old Twitter account. Tony Benn inherited the title of Viscount Stansgate. He renounced his title and became a Labour MP. He was proper Labour, not fake like Starmer. Sadly missed.

Not everyone can say that, today, they took their granddaughter to a petting zoo, and she milked a plastic cow !

Go Home Trump ! You are not wanted here. Scottish legend, Janey Godley RIP, spoke for most of us a few years ago.

I apologise to the World that a convicted felon and rapist has been allowed into the UK this evening. We have the right, as I understand it, to stop this - but we failed. A sad day in British history.

Apparently, in the UK we now have to verify our age in bluesky. They confirm that I'm an adult. This will be news to some people who are convinced that I'm just a big kid !

My neighbour has a total monopoly of birds visiting his garden, but I do get 2 Pied Wagtails coming in. Not a great picture as it is through a window. Bonnie's chewed plastic balls too.

THEY’RE HEEEEEEERE (shares always hugely appreciated *passes biscuits*)

French Bulldogs. Too hot in the sun, too cool in the shade

I’ve now added a range of unframed, affordable reprints to my website. Shares hugely appreciated 🫶🏻 www.carolmapleyart.com/category/rep...
