CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It felt like a talk at Hookland village hall. A real community feel and, of course, Mr Southwell himself. Very special evening. 😍 050
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My absolute pleasure. It was a fascinating talk, especially the stuff about Croatia/Serbia. I’m a bit of a shy one otherwise I would have said hello. 170
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Loving The Fury’s response. Item 1: big yes, Item 2: not so much (both items lovely imo). 010
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Good day Hooklanders. Still buzzing from last night’s talk by @cultauthor.bsky.social So lovely to encounter the human behind @hookland.bsky.social and add some juice to my enchantment battery. Feeling refreshed this Friday morn. 💪 3453
Reposted by CMJ Jaq - Art &c @jaqarts.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I was recently made aware of artist Algernon Newton. Although he was a painter of landscapes, (see Autumn Landscape, 1955, below) he's been dubbed The English Canaletto, as he also painted Venetian-like canalside scenes, such as The House by the Canal, and The Regent's Canal, both dated 1922. 1125
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Totally in a class of her own. I love the way she integrated her mental health issues into her art to maintain balance in her life. Proof, once again, that art is essential to humans in so many ways. 010
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Many lovely stories emerging about Dolly’s philanthropy atm, but here’s a great article about her music career, how she navigated the biz and her lasting influence on other artists. ❤️ www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...theguardian.comDolly Parton’s peerless career turned country music cliches inside out | Alexis PetridisBeneath the wig and rhinestones, Parton was the genius behind strings of classic songs from Jolene to I Will Always Love You that continue to inspire new artists 030

CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It’s a masterclass of a score. Fits perfectly with the mood, tone and look of the film. The brass is sublime, and I also love the use of harp. He had such a brilliant instinct for arrangement. 000

CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Watched this again tonight in honour of the great Sam Neill and what a pleasure it was. 😔 020
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Here’s a Monday starling for you and have a good week, especially if you’re planning a bit of murmuration. 020
Reposted by CMJhookland.bsky.social @hookland.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Today is full of magics. You don’t need to read about others experiences, you don’t need to capture your own to share. Today, just bathe in it all. Harvest your own omens, revel in whatever blessings the day offers. Refuse to be part of the mediated spectacle. Find your own primal wonder. #Solstice 14421112
CMJ @cmeej.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Magical, if a tad hot, circular walk yesterday near Balcombe, mid Sussex, taking in farmland, a lake and cool wooded areas. So many butterflies. ❤️ 040
