Thank you Frank. Northern magic realism - still unrecognised and uncelebrated.

On Friday 7 March I'm going to be speaking at Moyse's Hall Museum about Suffolk Folklore - you can get tickets here: www.moyseshall.org/whats-on/det...

That would be great. Could you remind me of when you’re in London, please?

Or perhaps an annex of the Unseen University of Ankh-Morpork?

Tom, I fear that ‘Hit me up’ maybe lost in translation over here - unless, of course, this is intended as a thibboleth?

Just had an exchange with Diane Purkiss who suggests ‘Faeology’ and in tribute to her #TroublesomeThings I suggest Tribulatiology, both bastardised terms but as she said how appropriate given the nature of fairies.

Understand perfectly you’d had enough of getting up before dawn and driving across the Pennines…but Saturdays are simply not the same without Croissant Corner.
