Happy 60th birthday to the fantastic @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social. A place that is central to the pleasure I take in living in Sydenham.

A commemorative mug and tote bag plus three purchased books. The Beginning Comes after the End by Rebecca Solnit. Best British Short Stories 2026 and Earth 7 by Deb Olin Unferth.
