To ask for your interesting instagram follows?

[parentsonthenet]

Nice and shallow thread to ask for any interesting people you follow on instagram?

Britney Spears is one of mine as I find it fascinating to see what she is up to and hopefully see her transition into real life.

I also like psychology follows, Kimberley Wilson is a good one. She was on bake off and had her on book about food for the brain. Often does lives with a feature topic.

Anyone else want to share?

I like thelongmum for general life stuff, she's funny and feels like following a friend. Erica Davies does great stories on Fridays and Sundays, good follow for home/fashion/lifestyle. I love Sali Hughes for beauty, Alice du Parcq for fragrance and Rosie Birkett for food.

Francis Bourgeois, the guy with a passion for trains. He’s become well known through TikTok but his Instagram account is worth a follow for his enthusiasm of all things trains.

I love brunch with Babs. It’s this lady who gives lots of tips on life and housekeeping. What I love is she is so warm and seems kind - she starts lots of her advice with ‘in case your mother never told you’ or ‘did your mother tell you’ and that’s really touching to me. There’s lots of things people just assume you know/your mother will have taught you.

This is one of my favourite accounts. It's just so joyful.

I do miss it but, I just couldn't find my tribe.
Instagram isn't for people with chronic illness...

I like myfrugalyear and gofundyourself for money matters.
britishculturearchive posts retro photos from across the UK which I like.
I also like hardcastletowers for her home decor but also her chatty stories.
I like agathesorlet and lizclimo for their illustrations/drawings.

I follow Hermione Chatal and Madeline Vlogs

I also follow lots of home decor sites (mostly home decor sites )

This is a shame - I know my friend with chronic illness (diabetes, POTS, Crohn's - the unholy trinity, as she calls them) has managed to find some amazing accounts talking about the experience, @thechronicnotebook and the #chronicillness hashtag are both recommended. (Of course if you don't fancy going back that's fair enough, but there are definitely some amazing creators out there!)

I like Felicity Cloake (food writer on The Guardian). Most of her posts feature her out and about with her little dog Wilf. She seems an all-round lovely person!

Notsosmugnow for hilarious and on point reels!

Upworthy for feel good news stories
Thehomeedit which makes me want to change and sort out everything in my house
Thebirdspapaya body confidence
Brian_bilston - love his poetry
Senaruna - paper quilling art

These are not all ‘people’ I realise, most people I follow are connected to hobbies/interests I have such as home reno, crochet, nail art etc!

I follow a couple of red squirrel accounts for cute pictures and videos! For example Karen Miller Photography.

Also Kelly Louise Killjoy for her "Nordic class" videos.

I also started following Juergen off Bakeoff last night.

Danae Mercer, a model/influencer who exposes how "fake" most pics in IG are, she's fab

Brady Oliviera, he's hunky and he rescues dogs, whats not to like?

Gosh I would give it another go. Those are the most vacuous influencers ever! Full of ads and fake nonsense.

The most useful one to me is following my county's hashtag. It's thrown up all sorts of walks, cafes and generally lovely places to visit that I didn't know about!

@Mogloveseggs actually yes same I follow my local area and have discovered lots of places I had no idea about, definitely helps me feel more connected to what’s going on locally

Notafictionalmum and the adventure squad are great.

Hotdudeswithcats

Various dogs

The fittest wizard, he does some really amazing dances, often with his best friend.

Cats of instagram of course

thenerdforge - makers of cool fantasy DIY stuff

accidentallywesanderson - quirky travel for lovers of Wes Anderson

mommyshorts - kids are around the same age as mine, enjoy seeing her (fairly down to earth) NYC life

Ellie Taylor and Rachel Parris

It’s an account to document the repair of Notre dame. It’s all in french so I haven’t got a clue what the captions say but it’s interesting to see what’s going on.

Subtle Asian Traits
Besea.n
Diet Prada

That sounds fab @Baboutheocelot, going to look that one up

I’m also going to look up the Norte Dame one.

I mostly follow french gardens, chateaux owners in France, garden designers and eating ones like Felicity Cloake, Licked Spoon, nigella, Diana Henry….
