The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'

Day 24 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. We place miniature ceramic bee hive on the tree. Time to tell the sleeping bees all our news, tell them of the year. All its joyful arrivals, all its harrowings and sad exits. We sing them the land and ask for honeyed blessings.

The gift package to my granddaughter in New Orleans arrived yesterday. We haven’t been able to ship via La Poste to the U.S. from France since the tarif bs began. Grand merci to the Vape Store guy(UPS drop off point) for helping me get baby clothes into « North Korea ».

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

On my recent trip to Rouen, I was really picking up a Portland, Oregon vibe. This run could have been along the Willamette instead of the Seine.

I was in Rouen over the weekend and saw this window display in a bookstore of books banned in the USA. It made me feel sad about what has happened to the « land of the free ».
