Photographs showing 2 hedgehogs feeding at dusk; a large grey Tom cat relaxing on his scratching post; a cluster of caterpillars feeding on a broccoli leaf; and a street pigeon roosting on a garden wall.

Going travelling in #Europe for the next few weeks so on a break from Mastodon. Leaving behind a menagerie of creatures; one #cat, 3-4 #hedgehogs, a nursery of #caterpillars and one recovering #injured #pigeon named Mary Shelley (house-sitting arranged). Have a good August!

View across bank of wild grass leading to a lake. Above are layers of stratus clouds. The other photographs show the view from the other side of the lake and also a heron.

The transformative #power of #nature.

This used to an open-cast mine and local eye-sore.
Today it's a peaceful nature reserve and recreational beauty spot with wild birds and even a heron.

Personal photographs capturing grey seals at Flamborough, Yorkshire, UK. The terrain of limestone cliffs and caves is not dissimilar to Northern Kefalonia.

The #Odysseus #Greek #myth mentions Phorkys bay, thought a reference to Monk #seals (phokia). They inhabit caves and beaches in Northern #Kefalonia and #Ithaka, now considered key areas for their survival in the Mediterraean.

Just curious about why you had a reference to Persephone in your book title? What the connection is?

Yes, Telegonos is historical fiction based on the Odysseus myth. The original story was very popular for hundreds of years in the ancient classical world. My story telling follows the original outline of the story with some creativity (as the ancient sources are fragmentary). 🙂

I'm sure there must be. This is our RSPCA rescue cat, who lived on the streets for 2 years and now is very happily settled into his forever home. 😻

Large grey Tom cat, snugly fitting inside his scratch mat and in a relaxed position.
