It is the best thing! 💚

I am sorry to hear of this beautiful persons passing. Wondrous books and someone who always took the time to respond. Many thanks for your review! I have a paperback from ages ago and still bought a digital copy of the new version. A passing and a voice that will be missed.

I've Walked in the Wildwoods all my life. It's where I learned my craft, it's where I learned the magic and the love of literally spelling a word into existence. The next round of my Walking the Wildwoods course begins in November 2026 and registrations are now open. Details are on my website.

Bare branched oak against a grey winter sky. The photo is of a segment of branches silhouetted.

b r a n c h : how beautiful is this? Long, slow oak dance. They are on the golf course near where we are moored. We are city towpath dwellers at the moment. Minutes from Lidl and buses that run every few minutes and yet it is so quiet. Night broken only by the call of old man heron. #boatlife

Lovely to see you here! And thanks for the @folklorethursday heads up x

So good to find this again:)

A great reminder of the fun and joy of this project. And the legacy of the podcasts and my personal continued journey with the stories, the places and the folk that told 'em

Good to see you here :)
