As part of my book research (for Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage, Oct 2025), I came across all these fascinating stories of bearddom. Been having fun making these little videos, Beard on Beard(s). This time around it’s Florence Balcombe (aka Mrs. Bram Stoker).

I'm a photographer, showcasing Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city for more than ten years now via Facebook and other social media platforms. I thought I'd pop over here and say hi and do the same thing - here's an epic sunset over Edinburgh to get us started!

In one of my previous jobs, I taught The Odyssey five times a day, five days a week, for four years (from Jan to Feb each year). I’ve had a Ralph Fiennes thing since he was Heathcliff (with Juliette Binoche) in the 90’s. So how am I just realizing this was coming?!! youtu.be/N8Ug0R8_o0o?...
