The vestibule of Cambridge University Library - sadly a different building to that described in "The Tractate Middoth."

Sir Andy Murray's suitably dour looking luxury hotel. I'm not staying here but hope they might "serve" me an "ace" meal from the "set" menu.

There is nothing better than Robert Lloyd Parry reading a ghost story in a chapel in December. It is as much a part of Christmas as carols, presents and watching It's A Wonderful Life for the forty-first time.
"Casting the Runes" & "The Residence at Whitminster", two ghost stories by M R James, in a fascinating chapel in London on December 7. Tickets below:

Watching the @nunkie.bsky.social live broadcasts of an M. R. James story is one of my favourite holiday traditions.

I buy tickets for my family in Wisconsin so we can watch together from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

I hope you'll join us!

Thanks to the Lyric Theatre and the excellent audiences of the past week in Belfast. Tomorrow i sail for Scotland. Glasgow is full but there are tickets left at the glorious Innerpeffray Library where "Not Truly Dead", the newest installment of The M R James project, will rear its head.
