I love my Island of Strangers. Strangers care for my mother. Strangers taught my children. Strangers cured my cancer. A Stranger shares my bed. Strangers show me a better world. Because of them, our lives are richer and more vivid. What kind of impoverished and tiny spirit wants to keep them out?

Had the most thrilling encounter yesterday. I spent 40 minutes following this otter up and down the river in Wyndham park, Grantham

All the best, Ulla. We are all poorer for Phil's death. And it's hard when people are mourning the loss of public figures, and forgetting that your life is changed forever by a personal one, x

Gosh. Hadn't thought this. I like them - creative and funny, though the pollution aspect is something to think about. Also, I'm disturbed that some of the responses seem to be saying that the expressions of middle class women of a certain age are not as authentic or valid as urban youth.

Druid's Temple, near Masham, Yorkshire, is one of my favourite places. Constructed around 1800, a product of the vogue for all things 'druidic', it is full of its own idiosyncratic symbolism
I am so sorry, Laura, x
I often think about this photo
Yes! It's really thoughtful and original stuff. His PhD will be very interesting

Very proud of my PhD student @jrosantos.bsky.social who has published a brilliant paper on the archaeology of loneliness in the Journal of Social Archaeology. All the lonely people: where do they all come from? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
I would be up for that!
Ooooh. I did a read-along in real time a few years ago. Great fun and seasonal. Anyone fancy that?
Oh dear. I've been googling my symptoms, and I've got that

YES! I bought a slanket ( electric blanket with sleeves) last year, and it is life-changing. But never let any potential or actual romantic partner see you in it
