@mjjjennings.bsky.social Second Lisdoonvarna reference this week - randomly popping up in a novel I was reading this afternoon. There’s surely going to be a third one…

Thanks to prompt dispatch by The Times bookshop this gem of a book - featuring one of my favourite Stanley Devon photographs - has arrived ahead of its official publication date next week

It’s a triumph! Huge congratulations due to @mjjjennings.bsky.social and the @newsukarchives.bsky.social team

I’ve spent time this weekend reading ‘Who wants normal?’ by @francesryan.bsky.social It’s brilliant, necessary and funny in just the right places

Grab a copy if you can - and it’s not just for disabled people but hugely insightful for those who want to be allies to us

I can’t describe how lovely it is to be back watching cricket

First cricket of the season. The sun is shining, I have put too many layers on and I’m having a perimenopausal hot flush otherwise completely lovely

And for a bonus point, in which churchyard would you find the fictional character’s headstone?
