A few weeks ago, I got these lovely copies of Shuckzine and an extra surprise: the newest bumper issue on Witches before it hit Etsy! I'm excited to read about the Happisburgh torso, a ghost tale my late mum loved. Huge thanks to Shuckzine —this made my day! #shuckzine #witches #norfolkfolklore

When I got back to Bristol from Norfolk last week I received these glorious Norfolk Folklore Society badges and postcard in the post! 😍
