Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Had just scrolled through that before moving to notifications 🐑 110
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think mine was the copy we used for O Level English at school late 1960s 201
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 28/09/2026With a coat that black ( tho that might be the b&w effect) I’d say she is a hogg (yearling lamb) so not yet a ewe 110
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have that one, though I can’t find it just now - quite relieved I don’t have to offer it to you now you’ve found a copy 😊 111
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yes, I’m rereading Lost Strad now: it’s the companion to Nebuly Coat in the Worlds Classics edition. Would be amazing if lost MS ever turned up, but Craster’s biog note suggests it might not have existed 020
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have just reread The Nebuly Coat by J Meade Falkner because someone mentioned it Here or There; it is an atmospheric thriller and wonderful, but hardly anyone has heard of it. Falkner also wrote Moonfleet (children’s adventure story) which is better known 210
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 25/09/2026So, here’s 5 Northmoor Rd, Oxford: Alec Guinness walked up to that red front door and visited his old colleague Connie in that downstairs room. My bedsit (1977-84) was on 1st floor looking out on garden @dannybate.com @lakesstiles.bsky.social 020
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Busy this weekend but will check StileCup Statistics when I have time 🤪 130
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 18/09/2026My slot was 12.10pm and I only had to wait 20 mins after entering Sainsbury Wing, then progress upstairs and along gallery was slow (but steady). By time I left BM late afternoon the queue was long so there must be a daily cumulative effect which needs sorting 000
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The Bayeux Tapestry Exhibition @britishmuseum.bsky.social is absolutely wonderful and the icing on the cake was tea in the new member space by the Montagu Place entrance 170
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Give them time; nothing happens for years and suddenly they spread 140

Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Met two brown donks near St Bees yesterday 🤎🤎 @lakesstiles.bsky.social @tutty352.bsky.social 3121
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Birthday treat at St Bees: a great white egret fishing the rock pools Wondered if it might be a heron but @soapywittank.bsky.social thought egret and that seems likely @everyheron.bsky.social 1162
Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Rain didn’t arrive until 4.30, by which time I was on the path back from Rottington so didn’t get soaked. Cliff top path from St Bees to Fleswick closed for foreseeable due to landslides so had to make long detour 150

Ann Gate @ceadela.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Are you sure it was a propos of nothing? Yesterday’s Wordle answer was aspic (but I couldn’t’ve said that yesterday in case others hadn’t yet solved it) 🤣 120
