So the novel reading, journal writing and desire to take tea by the fire are hardly new. But add in jigsaws, sewing and practicing my piano forte of late and I'm starting to think this is my Austen themed PTSD response to modern life...

Yes please.

My husband is a feminist. I have many kind, gentle male friends. My little boy is my everything.

Despite this, it's a scary time to be a woman. Trump; mysogynists making noise about standing in the UK - and now Gaiman allegations.

Imagine writing magic but using it to hide sordid cruelty. :-(

Exciting times planning the Lions faction event. Looking forward to it hugely but anxious to make sure people have a good time!

Any top tips for faction event running? What do you love to see at smaller larp events?

So it's a bit lovely to read a feed full of creative, interesting people - and I'm hopeful that this might be a new place for meaningful conversations.
I like to talk politics, books, larp, wild swimming and land access.

Also, cheese.

It's not that Trump is the way he is that scares me the most. It's that so many other people obviously value those qualities. Looking anxiously across the pond this evening...

Long time listener, first time poster. (Not really, I'm pretty new here.)
Solo parenting for five days including a Cornwall trip is reminding me that even during this toughest of years, I have kept a small boy alive and happy. Which counts for quite a lot actually.
