Yesterday Tess and I visited the hurlers standing stones on the edge of Bodmin Moor. We were lucky enough to come across this gorgeous white horse in the circle. #magical

A stone circle with a blurred close up of a stone in the foreground. In the middle a white horse crouches on the ground eating grass. In the distance hills can be seen.

A white horse is lying on its side in the grass in the middle of a stone circle. The sunlight glancing off the mane and tail.

The white horse is curled on to its opposite side in the grass in the stone circle.

I promised splashy waves and here they are.

Can you see the spooky face in the water. Tess took this picture whilst we were enjoying high tide at Towan beach yesterday. Can you see the face in the water? Video to follow later showing just how splashy it was! #pariedolia

Rough sea with foamy waves creating a face image with two narrow eyes, a wide mouth, chin and beard in foam and water. The waves are breaking against a concrete slipway, with two swimmers and a coastal town on the headland beyond.

Can you see the sand on the beach being blown by the wind? It always looks so eerie as it snakes along the beach. Little dust devils and snakes of sand.

I’ll be travelling from Biggleswade’s lovely Surfin Cafe to the home of UK surfing (Newquay) in 24 hours. My journey starts with tea and a bacon butty. Biggleswade is looking glorious in the autumn sunshine.

🚒 Fire! 🚒 I'm looking for a fire fighter to chat with me for the podcast, it can be anonymously. It's about why spontaneous human combustion was such a fear in the 1970s and 80s and why we now know that it isn't really a thing. If you're interested please get in touch details are in my bio! Thanks

Looking for something wonderful to listen to? Looking for an environmental folktale that will transport you and make you think? Then Kerry Ryan’s beautiful audio drama The Song of Mhorra on Apple podcasts is for you. It’s wonderful. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

I visited the Wemyss Ware cats in Kirkcaldy yesterday or should that be Kitcaldy 😸 They’ve been on a summer trail but were auctioned off yesterday. Apparently Elton John wanted one!

Imagine my surprise whilst reading my copy of Evelyn Hollow’s latest book the brilliant “Hollow’s Hauntology” when I came across Weird in the Wade recommended as a further resource! Thank you so much Evelyn 🖤💕🖤💕🖤

A page with further resources written on it and a list of podcasts including Astonishing Legends, into the fog, uncanny and weird in the wade. There’s a purple heart drawn next to weird in the wade.

I love the east coast main line north of Newcastle.

A green tractor ploughs a dark, freshly turned field in the foreground while gulls swirl behind it. Beyond the field, a tidal river winds across mudflats toward a small coastal town with colourful terraced houses and a church spire, with a wooded hill and a stone arched bridge to the left. The sea lies on the horizon under a deep blue sky with wispy clouds and a large white cloud at top right.

It seems our recent ancestors were less concerned about building on top of burial grounds. 61 skeletons have been discovered under a roundabout in the centre of Peterborough (link to news below) in Biggleswade the 1969 telephone exchange was built over ... (Pic @katharinehillphoto.bsky.social )

When family history entwines with world history. I felt privileged to tell the story of my Great Grandmother's death in WW2. She was killed by a doodlebug the day before US band leader Glenn MIller arrived in London. He soon left for Bedford because of the doodlebug flying bombs.

It's always lovely when I get to meet up with a listener to weird in the wade! Of course we met at the old haunted poundstretcher, now Jones coffee shop and gym! No sign of Aggie but we had a lovely chat.

Lains Coffee House is decorated for Halloween and has this lovely selfie frame for kids (big kids in the case of Olie and me!) Reflected in the pic of Olie is the ufo monument (see Ep 2 of witw)

A window with Halloween characters on it like ghosts and witches. There’s an oval frame and inside it on the other side of the window is Olie, kneeling and smiling. He is wearing grey and has dark hair and a moustache.

I have a question for you. Do you prefer your podcasts audio only or do you enjoy watching podcasts too? I'm not going to be making weird in the wade a video podcast; I don't have the time, expertise or money to do that. I prefer to listen but wondered what my listeners thought!

Have you heard of the Biddenham White Rabbit? I stumbled across this as one report claims this rabbit was paraded through Biddenham, Bedfordshire on 22nd September. But on closer research I discovered that all is not as it seems with this tale. 1/3

Today's episode is about aviation mysteries but includes a section about London being terrorised by doodlebug bombs in June 1944. I share some family history and the sound of the V1 rockets you'll hear are real archive footage from 1944. The image is of a V rocket that crashed in France.

On Friday I spotted half a fairy circle of fungi on my way into town. It's not the best picture. I'm hoping there might be a full circle when I walk past today. Has anyone else started to see fungi now that we've had some rain? I do love all the myths about fairy circles and toadstools.
