@FeartnTired @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn @woktavia #gcshutterbugs I thought I’d do something around books or writing or photography as my hobbies and positive habits … or food as my worst habit … and I started thinking about what underpins habits and addiction. For me it’s a combination of freedom and connection. Everything I do, be it good or bad, is a combination of those two things. Sometimes the connection is with people but not as powerfully or as often as I’d like, and sometimes it’s a sort of spiritual pull to the world around us. Freedom is different. There’s a running away element to freedom and a running to, but there’s a connection element to freedom that’s also about being in harmony with who you are. With who I am.I’m reminded constantly of that song by the Levellers that goes “do I belong to some ancient race, I like to walk in ancient places”And so my photos this week exemplify that.Happy Easter/Ostara spinsters.

@Eleutheromaniac @FeartnTired @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn I finally made a new picture for the challenge! (It not only had to wait that I got myself a camera of my own, but also that I replaced the lens, as first outing with new camera it fell on a hard floor and my old, entry-level crappy lens that I wanted to change anyway bore the brunt of it).So my bad habits are hoarding rights like pie and clutching pearls. And I suspect these are widespread here…#GCShutterbugs #gcshutterbugs_woktavia

@Eleutheromaniac @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn @woktavia well done. We're missing Gnomey as well, she's not been around for ages.I'll have a think.

not just knitting, but buying yarn is a habit. especially in dark times. of which there have been a lot.I hasten to say that not all of these were even bought this year, never mind this week! I can tell you what yarns they are if you are interested.The blanket in the background is one that lives on that chair for mum to sit on, she knitted it. she knits every day. so I also make sure she has plenty yarn, her favourites these days are the self-striping kind that change colour as you go, she doesn't want to think too hard, just knit. so plain garter stitch. Me I'm still starting things and not finishing them because I get stuck. Another habit.I decided a picture of shortbread and dark chocolate would be too obvious and not easy to make aesthetically pleasing. Yarn is more forgiving.@Eleutheromaniac @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn @woktavia

@FeralDandelion @FeartnTired @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn @woktavia Yeah, the vernal equinox was last month. I like to reference it at Easter though.

@FeartnTired @Eleutheromaniac @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn It's so satisfying to watch the variety of colours of the material for our hobbies. When my step grandmother passed away, she had that basket of yarns that we had to deal with, but sadly she seemed to only go for the dullest colours, most polyester ones. Wasn't an incentive enough to start knitting, definitely. Anyway I appreciate that your little collection has more vibrancy than that sad basket.

@woktavia @Eleutheromaniac @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn Some people are afraid of colour. And some knit for others who are so only have those dull colours. I like grey and brown too. But will not knit black or navy.

@FeartnTired @Eleutheromaniac @Fullycaffeinated @Gnomeshatecheese @grace_hawthorn @woktavia That varigated orange with the blue on top and to the left of it - it'd be beautiful paired in a project with either one.
