For waterfall Wednesday we're sharing this view of Cautley Spout. Situated in the Howgill Fells, on the western edge of the National Park, it's the highest - above ground - cascade waterfall in England.

And ended up with a cup in a place no cup should be.

I’m worried about Richard, the supposed Reform candidate in some council by election or other in Lincolnshire.
Look at the faraway look in his eyes.
The sadness.
The furrowed brow.
The dull listlessness…😔
Is he being held hostage against his will by Andrea Jenkyns?

Ooh. A new Parlabane on the way.
I'm heading to Nottingham this Thursday for an event at Waterstones, chatting to Marisa Haetzman about the latest Ambrose Parry novel, The Death of Shame, and maybe offering a preview of the new Parlabane.
