I’ve just checked my ‘physical’ book download shelf in the library (no audible for me thank you very much) I have 5 beautiful hardbacks queued and waiting to be read, so I’ve ordered another 3 - you can never be too safe. #booksky

Sundays. A long lie in to finish a great novel, then listen to some music, eat, drink, finish with an early night to start a new great novel. Sundays. #booksky

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition

The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away

What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse

The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

Thoughts on #hamnet ? Is it worth paying a small mortgage to see it on the big screen whilst people eat and talk through it.

Just me, or anyone else hoping this excellent novel inspires/heralds the return to our screens of Douglas Henshall. We can call it ‘PEREZ’ or ‘ORKNEY’ for starters. Please have a word @anncleeves.bsky.social 😉 #booksky #shetland

Iconic historical poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the memorial in my local village where he was was born and grew up. His works and infamous relationships with Wordsworth and Shelley make him our most famous literary giant. A nice Boxing Day homage for us to visit. #booksky #literary #writers

Found myself in Oxford again this week, first time there since I was on tour with a v.famous singer. Nice to see the sights I missed then and soak up the Xmas atmos. Visited all the important literary sights of course.

This is Cole Stacey. We’ve worked together quite a bit this year and I can’t recommend him highly enough as an artist. His music is ethereal, relevant, and rooted in Devonian life. Look him up and take a listen. His album ‘Postcards from Lost Places’ is available now.
