The right decision I think. I really like them As podcasts but the book looks handsome & irresistible.

Headscarves seemed universal for women then. Often worn to protect a “perm” as I recall.

Got my nails done! Witchy fingers. Love the fitted comfort of the things & their velvet insides: beech mast as autumn’s foxgloves. Saw me a goshawk too. Silent as a barn owl down the ride, jinked away & sliced through the wood; might as well’ve flown through my open mouth and out the other side.

I’ve been re-reading Alexei Sayles’ intensely inventive short stories. Even better than I remember them. Would you like to borrow them
@gotpies.bsky.social ?

The covers of Barcelona Plates & The Dog Catcher. The covers feature bright colour images

2. An ice cream cornet with a flake dominates the foreground, colourful street scene beyond.

Work on the land or wear a headscarf?

I quite like it but it’s best to hear a classical musician playing Dowland properly

If Lento helps you sleep or switch off. Or our photos and videos give you a boost of green space. Or you just like what we do.

It would really help. Thank you.

I’ve not seen anything about this on national mainstream media. I wonder why?

Could be a scene from my childhood. My mother used to “work on the land” & during school holidays I woud be with her. I remember picking up potatoes from the freshly turned soil & putting them in sacks. I loved it, but I was much closer to the ground being about 6 years old. 1964 ish

@bobfry.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:26 AM

I’ve never heard that one before! Absolute bollocks!

If you love traditional songs you should listen to Handed Down. Each episode looks in fascinating depth at the cultural, historical & musical aspects of a folk song. There are over 40 episodes to chose from.

‘The smoke's smell, too,
Flowing from where a bonfire burns
The dead, the waste, the dangerous,
And all to sweetness turns.

It is enough
To smell, to crumble the dark earth,
While the robin sings over again
Sad songs of Autumn mirth.’
Digging, Edward Thomas. #BookWormSat 🍂🍁

🖼️ Nikolai Astrup, c.1920. Painting of bonfire surrounded by people billowing with smoke into the surrounding hills and landscape.
