I was only thinking yesterday morning, coming off nightshift, how lovely and autumnal it felt. It was properly cold and misty. So where did this 21°c come from? Just got a sweat on coming back from Aldi with my shopping bags.

THE FAIRY FELLER'S MASTER STROKE is on display at the RCA giving access to the stunning detail of a fairy #autumn. Dadd depicts the fairy 'feller' about to split a large chestnut with his axe to make a new carriage for Queen Mab, amid the prickly fruits of the London Plane Tree #FolkloreThursday

Never been much of a Classical music listener, with the exception of a few movie soundtracks, but isn’t this fabulous? I love Holst’s The Planets. youtu.be/FTGpL1JPzIc?...

Trying to empty the freezer for defrosting by gradually eating random stuff for dinners. Tonight I’m having veggie samosas, bhajis, spring rolls, a bean burger and half a vegan margherita pizza. With salad of course, ‘cause I’m healthy.😂😋

I feel it is no bad thing to walk the lanes of England as a child would. Over the wall an orchard to scrump. Around the turn of the path the hope of ghost glimpse, faery encounter. To walk with an enchanted heart is my aim and none shall dissuade me from it. – #CLNolan

We look up at rooms which have hosted murder and we wonder if they now hold ghosts. For we all know stories of places where spectral loops of trauma play. Townhouses turned to territory of terror. Properties that make estate agents shiver, that stay on the books. – #CJosiffe

The land withers. Autumn is told in both the fading scars of drought and the gathering mud. Hooklanders call this blurred border of days harbrim. A time whenthey know that mists are coming to eat certainty and monsters feast to fatten ahead of hibernation. – #DAKilroy, 1982

In the foreground we just see a little of the leaf and fruit of the tree. In the mid ground, the large trunk of an ancient oak displays the bark. In the background we see the full tree canopy in all its splendour.

Old photo: the English seaside in all its cool, grey windy glory at Cromer, Norfolk. Besides a theatre, the sea end of the pier is also home to an active #RNLI lifeboat station. Positive thoughts, as always, to those heroes who will be there, ready to go, within minutes of their help being needed!

There are spirits of the stair that announce themselves in a sudden burst of perfume, laughter or unmistakable sound of children running up and down. Yet we must be honest, there are also stair spectres that shove. Predatory phantoms that delight in downfall. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Another new addition to my Roman antiquities collection. It’s described as a 2nd Century bronze hair or garment/cloak pin, but I’m really not sure. Haven’t seen anything like it. The bull’s head might signify it was worn by a male. A farmer maybe?
