On the 14th of November 1840, the French artist Oscar-Claude Monet was born. 🎨
He was known to have painted at least 2,000 works in his lifetime.
Monet, who was a lover of nature, is considered the father of impressionism, with the term deriving from his painting, "Impression, soleil levant."

It was 21 years ago today, on the 14th of November 2004, that the first episode of #NorthAndSouth aired. This iconic story of love set against the backdrop of Victorian inequality was a huge hit, receiving international acclaim, and its perfection continues to enchant us.

The #Brontës used fertile, dramatic settings, like the #Yorkshire moors, to convey their characters and themes. If each sister could write a novel set in a different location—like a bustling city or tropical island—how would their stories and characters change?

Books fall like leaves in autumn's glow,
Each one tells a tale we long to know.
A gentle breeze shakes stories free,
Whispering wisdom beneath the tree.
With a rake, we gather the past,
In every page, memories last.

In the pages of a book so vast,
A child climbs, escaping fast,
But the phones, they reach, they try to pull,
The world of screens, relentless, full.
A hand extends, a silent plea,
To break free and just be free.

The sight of her, a solitary figure strolling along the shore, her skirts billowing lightly in the breeze, took his breath away. The silhouette of Charlotte against the twinkling twilight was like a vision from a dream he dared not believe.

She made him feel safe.
He made her feel equal.
She made him feel hope.
He made her feel bold.
She made him feel honourable.
He made her feel respected.
And when their mouths married, they tasted forever.

Happy Birthday to #ElizabethGaskell, born on 29th September 1810. Gaskell wasn’t just a talented writer; she showed that women could be wives and mothers while challenging expectations, following their passions, and achieving their dreams. A true icon in every sense.

I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
I thought, that's interesting, because I believe a total unwillingness to cooperate is what is necessary to be an artist.

Branwell #Brontë, the only Brontë brother, aspired to be a portrait artist. His 1834 self-portrait with his sisters was later altered, with his image removed. The surviving painting now serves as a poignant reminder of his artistic ambitions and sibling bond.

It's been a week, and I'm still on a high from volunteering with @BloodyScotland.
What a pleasure and privilege to hear from so many talented #crimefiction #authors and meeting readers from around the world.
A real literary treat.
I can't wait until next year.

What an exciting find in my local library!
Puts me in mind of @ak_benedict and @WHusseyAuthor.
A collection of international folklore and fairytales, reminding us that the love of the magical and mystical spans time and distance.
And what beautiful illustrations.
