Excited to see my @AnnalsofIM comic on the life of Cicely Saunders post in time for National #Hospice and #PalliativeCare Month. #hapc #hpm #graphicmedicine
@VenetiaJane I will tell the children,
You may take your share;
Come and fill your pockets,
But leave a few to spare...

The Old-Man’s-Beard Fairy
This is where the little elves
Cuddle down to hide themselves;
Into fluffy beds they creep,
Say good-night, and go to sleep.

Sweet-scented, like a dream
Of Fairyland they seem...

Birthday in the park: Cicely Mary Barker, 1895-1973, illustrator .......... https://t.co/3alYYeTAiG
Honeysuckle (woodbine) is the birth flower for June, along with the rose. Twining around the front door it will protect your house from harm, & put into a vase it will attract money. To Chaucer “wodebyne” symbolised steadfastness in love. #FolkloreThursday Image: Cicely Barker
★☆★ El Jardín de las Hadas y las Flores de Cicely M. Barker ★☆★
Me encantan las hadas y los ángeles, los amo. La imaginación de la artista británica Cicely Mary Barker (1895 - 1973) es creadora de una serie de ilustraciones feéricas primorosas.

“My shoots are tipped with buds as dusty-grey
As ancient pilgrims toiling on their way.”
The Wayfaring tree is a sign that you are on or near a path. It was plentiful on the medieval pilgrim route from London to Canterbury.
