Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 08/11/2025People asked to take photos of me and WH. Like absolute hounds (and one person has even sent me an email!) Man alive, it's a jungle out there. 130
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Long story short, Last year I bought a load of factory clothing from 1930s Nîmes, still bundled up and in the original starch. In the street. I love them, and today, walking WH 2 people stopped me to ask where I got my jacket. Plus one more yesterday. Hashtag accidental hipster. 6231

Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Stepfather post stroke has become evermore brazen with the table feeding and we have tried to stop it, so now the pair of them have gone into 'stealth mode', which ... is not that stealthy tbh, but it's Small Gains Farm at the moment. 020
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/11/2025WH, no sense of play at all. Sense of humour, 100%, but play, nothing. Also, they aren't toys, as you well know. They don't have to 'play' on command. 140
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Li'l Houston sun puddlin' as all the best girls do after the Sunday walk and the Sunday lunch. 1100
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/11/2025If it's ok with you I would like to share an interaction about my book, Born. 070
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/11/2025All dogs are the best dogs. They want to be the best dogs. It's only the humans who let them down. 2180
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/11/2025It is not your fault that they don't play. They can't do it. So do not punish yourself if your rescue dog looks at a toy as if it came from Mars. Maybe they will rewire, or not. Either is fine. It's taken us 6 years to get WH dog to swim 2 feet. She's still the best girl. 2141
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Brief reappearance from the depths - just want to say that if you have a rescue dog and they don't understand playing with toys, or play in general (Whitney doesn't), it's not you, it's the previous shitty owners. For the first 2 years of their lives. You can't take that out of them. 3270
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 06/10/2025The One About The Parrot open.substack.com/pub/lucyingl...open.substack.comThe One About the ParrotThis is two Lincolnshire stories in one, so strap in, if you like. 070
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 21/09/2025The Ed Murrow Wires and Lights In a Box never gets old on this. 010
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Oof, pals, the book is in the wild in the US soon, but it seems they may like it. 181
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 18/09/2025She came to the launch, full cheetah (I think), she has an array, and looks fantastic. No interest in anyone's bullshit, hoving down the the high street. 000
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Hatton Garden Karen now only wears Zara pjs, leopard, zebra, and has fully embraced the look. It's marvellous. With the Tom Hardy swagger on. 110
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Watching our tiny Yorkshire mother, order exactly what she wanted in a Barca restaurant, and eating it as if the devil was at her heels was the very best present I could have given her. 0100
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025It was fab. I made Mum visit the prison, which is insane, and my childhood friend Dan works servicing mega yachts, so we almost got to wave at him as he left. Went up the Calatrava. 020
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025The next night I said I had a list of places to eat and Mum said, May we go for tapas again? To the same place? Sure, it's your holiday. 150
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Mum has no Spanish, but her French is good when she gets going. Is it ok for me to have another one of those? I said, Mum, it will keep coming until we pay the bill, that's the only rule of tapas. 270
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025I said, there's no menu, you point and shoot, whatever you feel like, get at it. 45 minutes later, Mum was the tapas queen. Mum is SO polite that it was a bit hard for her to grasp at first, but once at the helm, no stopping her. 170
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Off we went, to Barca. I booked us a double room in an old town house, and our room was the old ballroom on the first floor. It was lovely. Mum hadn't done no frills Barca tapas before and all the little plates arrived and it was chalked up on the piece of paper. 140
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025You have to gun it, but no stranger to that. Said to Mum, what would you like for your birthday, and she said, I'd love to see Barcelona. I don't want 'things'. 260
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025One of the things I love with this house, is that you can get up, put your pedal to the metal, and be in Barcelona for lunch. 150
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Yes. The house will knock at me and Mr I says only ghosts but still knocks. 020
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025There will be something in the house that needs attention. Could be anything, so I have to find it. And I know I sound like a loony, but now I have suited up and have to get in the caves (cellars). 240
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025We also have creaking and sighing. Knocking means something is up. I do not know who or how the knocking works, it only means you have to get on it. 150
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Up and on, and the house knocked at me. I know, sounds weird, but as the season changes, the house makes her own noises. Knocking is one of them. She's 821 years old and full of life. 1100
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025They are super and the house is in safe hands, but it's going to cut me out at the knees. xx 030
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025I will be a guest. A stranger in the house that once was my home. The world turns. And that's perfect. 140
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025In a world of desperate sentimentality, I will take a lot of paper hankies and mind my manners. This is their house now. Their forest. The house, the meadow, the woods, they will live on without us, certainly without me. 160
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025The house will be cluttered with memories for me, even though I know it's necessary for it to be swept clean. My baby and Bridie are buried in the 10 Acre Wood. They have been warned about that and apparently it's fine. 160
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 14/09/2025In not too long a time, I will be invited to see the transformation of the NoL's house with the new people. They are LOVELY and love the house and his spirit. Huge changes, and it's gonna be a challenge. But a good one. 2180
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Thank you so much. On all fronts. And I so hope you enjoy it. 000
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 06/09/2025And *Iiiiiiaiiii* etc. Except I sound like a donkey. WH still recovering from #dategate 010
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Of course! I did quite a lot there during the restoration. It's just my name with 77 @ gmail.com 100
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 03/09/2025And those lads do not like it when a very small Northern woman gets in their grilles and asks questions. Bullies can't cope when someone else rules the schoolyard. Wankers. The guns don't frighten me. What, shoot me? Bring it on then boys. Let's see how that goes. 020
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Oh no, I go full citizen. I won't be threatened by men who are pretending to 'protect me' when it's just a gym bro display of testes on the taxpayers' time. Absolutely not. Mr I is all, Don't, and imma going in. 120
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Those fuckers. ALSO, not allowed visible tattoos, allegedly. How many throat tattoos did you see? I love a tattoo, but don't behave like thugs and as if the rules don't apply to you because you are the fuzz. No. 110
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Lily. I have torn rotten feral pigeon carcasses out of WH's mouth, rowing with her on the pavement or the Thames foreshore. Then she comes home to her organic special dog food to help her spine. She's disgusting but she's mine! 040
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I have a sort of 40ft rule. That's how far she's allowed. Then I'm running and shouting. But if she wants to go, she will go. Hence the gps, the dongles, the IDs. Idiot dog. She once came home and no question, she had been in a slurry pit. Honked to high heaven. I still have the photos. 120
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Our South African friend WH's 'Auntie Carol' who coats Whitney's beak in red lipstick kisses said WHITNEY, your legs are short enough!!! A man found her and delivered her to our neighbour. She was verrrry tired for a couple of days. But she is a hunter. Unstoppable. 230
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I mean, it's not, Whitney is a special case. But she was a rescue who had experienced a terrible life. And now she has a taste of freedom, and she is RUNNNNNNNNINNNNNG. I know she will, ultimately, find her way home. But it does not make it easy. 050
Lucy Inglis @lucyinglis.bsky.social · 31/08/2025We are responsible dog owners, belt and braces, but they have their own laws. And that's fine. Ish. 160
