Saw my first suffragette ribbons with lovely card and slogan in the wild yesterday. In a NT property garden in the south east (won’t say which one as I don’t want those who monitor this board going to remove it).

Gave a lovely feeling of solidarity and reminded me I must prepare some ribbons to put in my bag as I’ve not done any yet.

I saw some in Leith earlier this week! It really cheered me up - whoever put them there, thank you.

My ribbons lasted just over 3 weeks, they started a discussion on a local FB group - which got lots of likes from women locally and led to me meeting a fellow traveller! I also roped my 80 year old mum into it who tied some ribbons at a few Scottish landmarks. I must do some more though!

These may have found there way to a tree when I was out today ☺️😁

@Thelnebriati

Ribboning has certainly made me aware of how many CCTV cameras there are where I live. So I'm exploring fancy dress options 😂

I tied one at an ancient war memorial last week - 6 yr old didn't even notice

I did notice that ALL my stickers have been removed from our usual 2 hour walk route - for various reasons we hadn't been there in a couple of weeks. My teen & I have new stickers & a plan

Me too - I think it is hard to over-estimate the support and uplift given to the women who see them.
