A bit foggy in Wykeham Forest this afternoon. A pair of ravens added to the gothic-horror vibes.

For some reason @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social won't reply to my requests to add this to the site, which is odd cos it's available everywhere else, but top of The List is @bobbygant.bsky.social brilliant collection, Keshed's poetic brother-in-arms. Pls investigate.

Snowy walk around Falsgrave Park and Lightfoot’s Lane today. Deep in places but beautiful to be out in. Glad I didn’t have to drive!

And, seeing as though @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social haven't replied to months of messages requesting they stock A Decade of Drinking With Ghosts by @bobbygant.bsky.social (which there's no reason for them not to do) so I can add to the list of Keshed related books I did for them,

Absolutely shocking.
