The joy of flowers before their petals fall.. It’s getting to that point in the year where I’m almost desperate for some colour…
Something poignant occurred

Something poignant occurred in a brief encounter between a few stray tulip petals and the kitchen sink….

From the DIVA exhibition at the V&A..
This is a ‘real deal’ corset from the late 19th Century. I’m sure many anthropological books have been written on the subject of fetishising of the female form.
It makes me think of Chinese foot binding… not much difference really.
Beauty ideals can be a LOT to live up to…🤔😖

One thing I will say - The culture of misogyny and abuse against women and girls everywhere around the world can no longer be accepted as ‘normalised’ behaviour.
That’s it. Plain and simple.

A sweet encounter with a pair of very worn black satin shoes. found under the floorboards of a Victorian town house. Apparently if was a fairly common custom to hide a pair of shoes like this to bring good fortune to the household, back in the day…
These survived the 2nd World war.. where London was being bombed continuously…
Thinking of all the countries and populations who are going through the disastrous consequent of climate emergency…
We need even more than luck shoes peeps.. ❤️🎶

Since living in the US I’ve come to have a deeper understanding of the history of the country.
Founded on systems of slavery, genocide and barbarity… like many countries all over the world.
Colson Whitehead’s exceptional book is a challenging read.
I feel it ought to be on every school curriculum..Every child in the US and elsewhere should know these truths.
If you don’t realise the full effects of historical slavery and racial abuse, then you’re living in a kind of ignorance or denial.
It’s part of our collective responsibility to fully grasp the historical background of ‘racism’ - not only in America, but all over the world.
I highly recommend you read this book if you haven’t done so already. Love Annie

Greetings Earthlings! Just thought I’d drop by to say ‘hello’! I recognise in so many ways that we’re all living in a ‘new’ normal…
The stresses and strains of these times are ‘off the charts’ in SO many ways, BUT In spite of that, I find quite a lot of inspiration on Instagram - Namely through the people I follow.. such as @zainabsalbi @gabormatemd @eveensler Adya Shanti @skycaveretreats and many more..
Send in your five inspirational recommendations to follow and share the love!!! ❤️

Maui…
This picture from Associated Press speaks volumes.
And I can only assume that, like you, I’m horrified by such an event. Just as we’re shocked by the incidences of wildfires and devastation in what is evidently an ever increasing cycle of catastrophic events.
This is why I support young global activists, whose future lies at stake.
When you feel paralysed by doom, the best you can do is to join forces by those who feel the same way..
even if it’s on a small scale.
This is how I try to bear in mind when I feel overwhelmed with frustration - grief and impotence.
Love Annie

I’m a tremendous admirer and fan of @marysmeals ..as you might already know!
Their food programmes manage to access remote communities, even in regions of conflict.
Here they are in Tigray - Northern Ethiopia..
I’m absolutely in awe of the work they do.
Just wanted you to be aware that MARY’s MEALS are out there making a massive difference for the good.
