My article covers Ben (1972).

A highly recommended theatrical walk, by @herstorical1.bsky.social, exploring the ghosts of some lesser known lady mystics, witches, rebels and ‘working women’ of the City.

An enjoyable play, pitting Sherlock Holmes against his creator who believed in fairies. It was witty and entertaining.

After a long day, I have this waiting in the passageway from my local postie. My first ever football jersey from that is Dracula themed and embroidered on the front is an excerpt from Bram Stoker's seminal novel.

Love this away top.

For centuries it was said that -
He who eats goose on Michaelmas day; Shan’t money lack or debts pay
Even at the dawn of the 18th century, the belief was already so old that its origins had become obscure. #Folklore

Drank this during the screening of Good Boy which I will watch again. The lead character, Indy the dog, deserves an Academy award nomination for best actor.
