Wassail WIP - Green man jacket 26/01/24. Drawings of common leaves from England & Jamaica on fabric patches.

Here's to thee, old apple tree,
That blooms well, bears well.
Let's have hat fulls, and cap fulls,
And three bushel bag fulls,
And little heaps of apples under the stair.

Was hail!!

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

Today on the BBC Archive youtubes, I have mostly been watching THE GHOST HUNTERS from 1975.

Strange goings on, indeed. Benson Herbert is a one.

I’m excited to share my finished Skeleton mask! I made the t-shirt too and I love how spooky they turned out. This is the first of a few Halloween pieces I’ve got planned this month. 🎃 #sculpting #sculpture #folklore #skullmask #skeletonmask

When I was doing my MA, my tutor did not want to approve my dissertation because he did not like Terry Pratchett (it was about Feet of Clay and the Golem, amongst other things). I changed my tutor, got a distinction, and was published in an academic journal.The snobbery of it infuriates me.

Pratchett's books are some of the most intelligent, insightful and well-written literature of our time. The idea that it's not appropriate for adults is such an unbelievably shallow take it actually manages to outdo the Kemi Badenoch thing.

My probably-get-me-banned-from-Bluesky take is that a 45 year old woman saying her favourite author is Terry Pratchett is embarrassing for everyone concerned

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

A few photos from the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance 2025
A group of dancers hold huge reindeer antlers on their shoulders. The dancers, mostly seated, having a rest in the sun in front of Blithfield Hall. A man wearing a red and orange jesters outfit (with bells on) gestures with one hand as he speaks to the audience. In the other hand he holds an inflated pigs bladder on a stick and a collection bucket. A man wearing a cape holds a small wooden hobby horse in front of him.

Folklore in the landscape garden. Fancy a maypole? Researching 18th-19thC garden aesthetics. Influential Thomas Whately (1726-1772) suggested:

"if a situation can be found for a May-pole, whence it would not obtrude itself on every view, that also might not be improper"

Lure the hands in with some other craft? 👀 Something they've not done before.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Sometimes I find it incredibly peaceful there, and sometimes a bit unsettling. Never boring though.

Communal ossuary. Observatory of the dead. Possibly both, neither or more. There are portal dolmen which refuse us certainty. As archaeologists we are never immune to mystery. Our dance with it is delight. Our dance with it is the Long Neolithic manifesting. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Here's a double exposure Polaroid I captured last year at Castlerigg stone circle. The looming spirit of the stone..!

Double exposure Polaroid. In the lower half sits Castlerigg stone circle with the lake district fells behind. Overlaying the sky is an upside down close up shot of the tip of one of the stones.
