I've found the most interesting account of a community's response to a witch from 1828 Shrewsbury. It's intriguing, tragic, and an insight into the realities of life on the fringes of acceptability. I am hoping to have it added to my article on shropshire witches this week. Im excited to share it!

Watched these on BBC Four last night; I've seen them countless times, but watching amid the glow of the Christmas tree lights with a glass of port in hand made them all the more enjoyable.

Black and white photograph of Basingwerk abbey, alongside a photograph of the Garreg Pharos.

Two landmarks near me: Basingwerk Abbey, founded c.1132, and Garreg Pharos, a Roman navigation marker restored in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Jubilee. I’ve explored these places since childhood. Consciously and subconsciously, such places shape my stories and themes. Which places shape yours?

books make excellent christmas gifts
why?

you can stack them
use without batteries
or downloading an update
they bring quiet to a room
fill you with emotions
tell you about people and the world
you can reuse them
again
and again
and again
and again
before passing on
