Rest well, Hookland. Goodnight.

Goodnight from Frances Ridley, still wondering exactly what strange beast gave its skin for the covering of her Nanna’s book of folk remedies. Goodnight from Henry Arrow up at Shog Farm, wondering if the new fencepost wards will keep the Hoarse Hag at bay. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight all ✨️

The meadow begins to yellow, to become brittle. There's little breeze to make its August jewels jangle. Amid the ripening of fields and hedges, a sense that beyond harvest winter stalks us all. A wise witch takes this lesson of impermanence taught by the land. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Black and white photo of a balding white man sitting on the floor in front of a couch. He is looking down at three cats. A shorthaired tabby and shorthaired black cat are on his lap and he’s holding another black one against the side of his leg. There seems to be a framed photo of the man wearing a bowtie on a side table in the background.

Trying to get all the kids in one photo. From my collection, 1958.

A Peregrine Falcon stands with its back turned but glances over its shoulder with a fierce, unimpressed stare - as if someone just wished it a “Happy Monday” and it’s not having it. Its feathers are fluffed and its expression says: absolutely not.

When you hear "Happy Monday!" but you haven't had your coffee.
