The Christmas window of Constance’s shop, painting created 1968 by Muriel Lewis, in the art therapy at studio Netherne hospital, where she was compelled to live.
A large number of her works survive, they depict scenes from her own life inside & outside the hospital during the mid C20th in Surrey

Who remembers a sewing bee type programme for allotment growing? Trying to create tension over growing radishes, it only lasted one series, I can see ##gameofwool going the same way, but more car crash TV along the way.

The perception of ghost oft begins with the story we tell ourselves about it, the language employed. If we think of a place as ghost-burdened rather than ghost-graced, we shape encounter as surely as potter shapes clay. When it comes to spectres, words matter. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

The right-wing press is going mad over votes at 16 ("a naked attempt to twist democracy in Labour’s favour", an "election-rigging move"...)

In my experience of these things , a grandmother's engagement ring is passed down the female line. So George doesn't have 'a right to it'. He just needed to be told that. He would have kicked off, but it's about time he was told no. #TheArchers

There's a stretch of railway line in East London ownership of which is disputed between Network Rail and Transport for London, mostly because neither side wants to take responsibility for dealing with the veiled apparition that flickers into being on the tracks, traumatising train drivers.

Our second talk announced for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub will be @magslhalliday.bsky.social's "Romancing The Targets" which will hopefully reframe the Target Novels as the Romantasy Epic we all know them to be.
