I’m sorry, he did what with his tool?

Allan was digging holes for fence posts in his garden in East Calder when he heard a crunch and pulled out something plastic on his tool.

Almost certainly the best photograph I have ever taken from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.

The sun setting over the Severn Estuary as seen from the top of Uley Bury hill fort. I took this photo in September, 2021, on the most perfect windless evening, feeling euphoric having finished the edits on my debut novel, Villager. The whole walk felt like I'd temporarily stepped inside a Kit Williams painting, which was apt since for the last several decades he has lived not far from here, and the landscape was a prime inspiration for his masterpiece Masquerade.

Finished CUREPEDIA by @simonprice.bsky.social & I have to talk about how *amazing* this book is. I read it from start to end - A Forest to Zoology - which is absolutely not as designed, but reading cover to cover it forms the most incredible, sprawling, comprehensive, mind-bending band history ever.
