We have the village festival next week on the field behind the house. Beginning to wonder if we ought to add 'village rave in the woods' to our social calendar...

There was an actual old fashioned rave in the woods last night - could be heard in the next village and went on till breakfast. I still slept like the dead...
The thing that tickled me was that instead of being up in arms the village fb group was just kind of sad they weren't invited.

Shriek!

Beautiful

This is amazing - I love it.

Loving the sound of this :)

Weirdos,assemble!

Wonderful!

High winds meant my windows were in danger of being pelted by my fruit trees, so I had a mini-harvest :) Sat in my kitchen waiting to be preserved - baskets if apples and greengages :) I don't usually start doing my 'kitchen witch' act for another month at least...

#Nature #organic

Wtf?

Glorious!

Lovely :)

Work has been enjoyable, but intense this week. This weekend I'll be writing up a storm (quite literally, for my folk horror) and getting creative, making more tiny books. As so often with me, everything leads to the sea. What creative things are you doing this weekend?

#Writing #Creative #Nature

I was writing about these this week!

Always worth doing :)

Can't. Wait!

I have mine on order and can't wait to have it in my little gothic claws...

I know how it feels, tbf

They are! :)

Yay! Me too :)

Yes!

Brightly coloured wire paperclips in dinosaur shapes

I've been talking to students about the power of play and its importance in mental wellbeing. One a scale of 'quirky' to 'deeply sad' how would you judge my new paperclips (or as one of my kids called them 'paperclaps' and thus they shall evermore be known to
me at least)?

Revel in it :) Well done :) x

Well, natch...

HAHAHA! Frankly, I 'pity the fool' who gets with them.

Book page with rainbow lights shining in it

A moment of beauty this morning. Woken an hour and a half before my alarm by crows bouncing and shrieking on the roof, I reached for my book and went to make tea. Stood reading the splendour of Du Maurier's The Apple Tree as the kettle boiled, I was suddenly blessed by rainbows.

Everything you think you know about Romani people is probably wrong

Romani people have a rich and varied culture that is not easily understood, sometimes even by ourselves, writes Madeline Potter.

I'm so glad :) I shall start sharing photos of my visitors :)

YouTube video by Ant Lab 7 Spectacular Moths in Slow Motion!

I have a moth trap to study the many hawkmoths that grace my garden. This slow motion film makes me want to put the moth-light on tonight but it's pouring with rain...
