Anyone else have a page on Facebook? Anyone else now being told they can only post two posts a month that contain links, unless they want to pay for Meta One? Two a month?? Not great for sharing events...

New on the blog today, my thoughts on THE GENTLEWOMEN by Laura Talbot. I enjoyed this merciless portrait of a monstrous character. It's a cautionary tale of the dangers of delusion and spitefulness towards others - a great choice for #SpinsterSeptember! 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2026/09/17/t...

I’ve belatedly discovered that the UK and US editions of Evelyn Waugh’s A Handful of Dust have completely different endings. In the US edition Tony Lastdoesn’t set off to South America and one of the bleakest denouements in fiction.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

People are amazed when I tell them how unloved the Beatles were in 70s Liverpool. This terrific long read from @grantmcphee.bsky.social explains it all.

At the Cavern reopening in July 1966 young women parade outside the venue waving banners proclaiming “Beatles Are Dead, Seftons Are Great” and “Where Are The Beatles Today? We Don’t Need Them - Stay In London”. Yes, I would like this image on a t-shirt.

Good morning - I hope you slept like a bird's-foot-trefoil-stuffed dingy skipper - I'm starting with 'Over the Bridge' by Simon Palmer. The keen eyed amongst you may recognise this landscape from another Palmer painting - but which one? www.rathergoodart.co.uk/product/simo... #simonpalmer

‘Over the Bridge’ Simon Palmer, watercolour, gouache and ink. This painting depicts a figure on a bridge in the mid-ground, with his customarily tentacular trees to the right, with a road sloping away from us in the foreground., and ploughed fields climbing to the horizon.

"Then Dame Cecilia began to have fits and to prophesy. This infuriated Richenda de Foley, to whom any talk of the end of the world after she had worked so hard and so successfully to put the convent on a good footing for the next century seemed rank ingratitude."

My favourite theory about why Bob Dylan has his hood up onstage now is from Daniel Lanois’s new Rolling Stone interview, where he said that maybe Bob “doesn’t like his hair right now”.

Spare a thought for Dutch Golden Age painter Judith Leyster, #BOTD in 1609. Although her work attracted great acclaim in her lifetime, it was subsequently all attributed to Frans Hals or her husband Jan Miense Molenaer @womensartbluesky.bsky.social @womeninart.bsky.social @artherstory.bsky.social

I have another #buyastrangerabook day offer for you. @sarahfoxspeaker.bsky.social is offering to buy two people a copy each of Beryl by Jeremy Wilson. The inspiring story of a supreme amateur athlete. Cycling fans, if you want one of these, just get in touch! UK only

Beryl by Jeremy Wilson.

Cyclist Beryl Burton dominated her sport much as her male contemporary Eddy Merckx, with a longevity that surpasses sporting legends like Muhammad Ali and Serena Williams. Practically invincible in time trials, Burton - also known as BB - finished as Best All-Rounder for 25 years and broke the record for the '12-hour' endurance race; an achievement unrivalled to this day. She won multiple world titles, but her achievements were limited by discrimination from the cycling authorities.

Yet she carried on winning, beating men and - infamously - competing against her own daughter, whilst working full-time on a Yorkshire farm and running a household. With previously unseen material and through extensive interviews with family, friends, rivals and fellow sporting giants, Jeremy Wilson peels back the layers to reveal one of the most overlooked, yet compelling characters in cycling history.

SHANGHAI EXPRESS (Josef von Sternberg, 1932). Loved seeing this on the big screen today, another entry in ‘Kazuo Ishiguro’s Top Ten Train Films’ season at the BFI. Marlene Dietrich is terrific here, and the camera loves her! #FilmSky

A black-and-white shot from the film showing a head-and-shoulders view of Marlene Dietrich. Her neck and shoulders are surrounded by black feathers, and her face is half-covered by a sheer black net attached to a close-fitting hat. She looks amazing, of course.
