This might just be a Scottish thing, but when I was a boy, turnips were largely used instead of pumpkins for Halloween. Much more challenging to carve out a face. #Halloween 🎃

l’ve had no orders for my nature jewellery collection. I know they’re expensive but the materials for each cost £70 or more & I can’t charge nothing for several hours’ making time on each piece. They used to sell out. I make intricate casts of real flowers incl. snowdrop, lily of the valley & wild carrot, nature finds such as dragonfly wings & feathers & tiny 3d wearable sculptures of much-love birds. I’m taking pre-orders for🎄. A RT would really really help my small business rn, thankyou x: etsy.com/uk/shop/silverpebbl…

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD. Rest in peace 🙏
