April walk - I've got a stitch

I usually work weekends but the Museum of Making was closed on Easter Sunday so I went for a stroll, what a treat. Blackthorn blossom, nettle, cleaver, wild garlic, celandine, wood anemone, rain, sun, hale - it was wonderful to walk well loved paths. 

This nettle growing by the side of a cattle trough (built into the wall of St John the Baptist's Chapel, Matlock Bath) has inspired the next embroidery on my 'I've got a stitch' shirt 🌱
