I think this is the sixth dozy bee I've rescued from inside one of the windows this week. Do they hibernate inside or come in from outside as it warms up? Either way, beautiful harbingers of spring!

Just a couple left. Last chance for this round of #oneofmanypostcard Posting out on Thursday (not joking!). If you'd like one DM me your name and address. All you need to do is donate to a charity of your choice when you get it.
#oneofmanypostcards
A spring card for our warming land bathed in spring rain. But started on the first anniversary of lock-down, that just might still be virus in the air...
Ten cards available for #oneofmanypostcard posting on April Fool's Day (seems appropriate somehow).
You know the drill: dm me your name and address and one will wing its way to you until I run out. In return you make a donation to a charity of your choice. Simples!

My daughter made it to #WinterSculpturePark @gallery_no.32 in the gloom of a rainy Saturday evening. But the works shine out! My second London exhibition she's been able to see and I couldn't in two months!

This isn't [Re]Cycling Tree. But then she's in the #wintersculpturepark in Bexley, a guest of @gallery_no.32 and I'm bt my own hearth in Rusholme.
But if you're based down that way, please get along to meet her - and about 30 friends! She's hanging out there till the end of February.

Just came across this lovely print - alright, it fell out of a book I opened - by @zjt_art Sent as part of last autumn's #oneofmanypostcard it resulted in a donation to @tree_aid Sadly not taking part in this week's installment of the wonderful #oneofmanypostcards project - its just been too cold to work in the garden print workshop... Warmer weather coming so next time...
Thanks #zjt_art!
An old friend comes out of hibernation! [Re]Cycling Tree is migrating to Bexley shortly to live in the orchard that is @gallery_no.32 . She will be on show at the Winter Sculpture Park throughout February!
