Five chapters in, and I can conclusively say that Joanne Harris’s Sleepers in the Snow is not a bedtime read !! Compelling, unsettling, perfect for October…

A book by Joanne Harris, Sleepers in the Snow, bookmarked

There's a secret chateau snuck in between and round and about on the slopes of a mountain where lies a beastie guarding a treasure hid centuries ago by bandits and brigands of rough repute. Who is ready to venture forth with me to parlay with the creature ??

It's Monday and I've run out of biscuits already. I bought a pack of fewer, fatter, cookie-type crunchie-delicious crumbly-sumptuousness biscuits. Back to the Ginger Nuts tomorrow...

How special is it for #StandingStoneSunday to be utterly alone on a Sunday morning at the stunning World Heritage monument of West Kennett long barrow 🥰 If you haven't been, walk with me into this special Neolithic burial chamber, conserved & reconstructed in the 1950s... 📷 My own

The only way to properly show off your fantastic pebble collection is to set them in concrete. Make the random, uniform, defying nature. Actually, these are described as 'cobbles' in the architect's specification. It'll look nice when it's done, for sure x

7am at Stanton Drew on the 21st September the Druids are set to gather and celebrate. Could there be a better Monday morning this month? We both know the answer to that...

A menhir looms against the sky, its rocky face pock marked and weathered, discoloured by fine, close growing lichen turned dry, pale green and black by the remorseless summer. We sing and hope for Autumn rains to fall on the unquiet earth...

This is a fun chapter; I know I enjoyed it. It brings home so much that is true about how British communities behave and the things they obsess about.

Walking over the dry earth with fading memories of rain. The sky greys as the sun sets. Water falls like music on tilted windows, bent to ease the cool air through rooms dusted with time. A dream arrives. You are still here, but you are gone...

A lone figure breaks the horizon at the end of sandy dry path between stunted dead grass. In the sky, the sun hangs like a blazing torch, between contrails, imitating clouds...

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

Rock Hopping under Clevedon Pier, watching fish dart about in giant rock pools, exploring rock tumbled caves in the shadows of the cliffs while weighed down with unexpected treasures discovered along the way...

A narrow, delicately arching steel structure supports a walkway over a calm sea alight with the rays of a high sun slightly veiled by high cloud, dark rocks loom in the foreground, seagulls swear and swoop...

Stanton Drew stone circle has a mysterious pull to it. The circle sits on a gentle slope and reveals itself slowly as you approach from the village. The low hills rise up all around, and the horizon drifts above my head. The air is still. In the quiet, I hear low voices, whispers across time...

A great sarsen standing stone, pitted by centuries of weathering, rises out of a sun bleached field below a clear blue sky...
