Happy Halloween!

Keep a close eye out today for witches being driven around the countryside by their root vegetable chauffeurs in a hollowed out marrow car.

Launch event last night for @icysedgwick.bsky.social and Hazel Atkinson's great books. Ghosts, magic, witches, worldwide folklore. We met new friends, wine was drunk, ghost stories were told. Tired but happy this morning. #dorlingkindersley .

"Prayer is not always about asking, but about being in the presence of God, and about allowing yourself to be changed by that encounter."

It's a complete delight to stumble into this exchange of paleographic / codicological expertise. Early medieval to boot. Thank you both for all you do, know, study and care about.
