⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Here’s a picture book that I’m a big fan of: Tove and the Island with No Address by Lauren Soloy, which imagines a young Tove Jansson on a windswept adventure. Beautiful!

I just finished reading Andy Charman’s (@andyandz.bsky.social) Crow Court and I am just blown away by the vision, breadth, scale, yet simultaneously shimmering observations of the quietist and smallest moments.

The 🏴 Kiloran Bay #Viking boat burial included a VERY special find: a group of bullion weights AND - even rarer - a balance, both used in metal-weight economies where, generally, fragmented silver known as hacksilver was weighed (and purity tested) as cash in commercial transactions.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Delighted to cross paths with this #hedgehog recently. And that’s as a good a reason as any to put out a reminder that they’re listed as “near endangered” after a decline in numbers of nearly 30% in the past ten years. Here is hedgehog first aid advice www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/found-a-hedg...
