Just spotted the Cross Inn in an i Weekend newspaper feature on 'The 20 best cosy pubs for autumn". Ness is described as remote with freezing winds and nights that last almost all day.🙄 How do folk cope? #IsleofLewis #Hebrides #CrossInn

Sad to learn of Brian Patten's death. The Mersey Sound poetry collection was one of the first books I bought for myself. I read it so many times over the years. #BrianPatten #TheMerseySound #Poetry

A painting of stained glass in the #ItalianChapel in #Orkney. Italian prisoners of war built it out of 2 converted Nissen Huts during WWII. It's a stunning place. #StainedGlassSunday.
