… & I think we sang Sumer is Icumen In about fifty times. Apparently there are around 4000 May songs in the Roud index and only 3000 about Christmas. Spring is springing.

Running Disco Maypole dancing yesterday at Corfe Castle with my youngest on the decks. We even got in a bit of the nineties ‘On a Ragga Tip’. Happy Beltane. Maximum, silly joy.

21 of us staying at Bracken Tor Youth Hostel in Dartmoor, all walked to the Belstone Nine Maidens (aka the Seventeen Brothers). Then to Higher Tor and back. Was spring-glorious.

@megalithic.bsky.social The Merry Maidens near Lamorna in Penwith, Land’s End Penninsula today. Was very lovely (as ever).

Found Blue Peter annual from my birth year today (December 1978).
On flicking through the pages I genuinely feel quite seen.

Over the festive season you may mix with extended family members with some extreme views you find repulsive. A reminder that you don’t have to go into battle with that person (I stopped myself today), but that you can (prob more usefully) donate to places like @refugeecouncil.bsky.social instead.

I’m still kinda giggling about it, but also am incredibly honoured to have *my own girl guides badge in Outdoor Arts*. Named after me and everything.
We’re gonna do cloud-gazing and feminist activism.

Woggle on friends.

#foxstrut on Friday 29/11/24 in Bournemouth - gather at 6pm Horseshoe Common, strut at 18:30. We’re wearing orange/ears/whatever.
Would that we all felt as confident as the urban fox outside at nighttime…
Reclaim these dark streets for women and folk from the LGBTQ+ community.

It’s this time of year again, Christmas lights are being switched on… these pics are from one of my more surreal gigs a couple of years ago in my hometown - and happily I’m still the Ivy Queen of Christchurch…

Great to chair the post show discussion this eve for Dorsetborn’s FORT at a chilly but atmospheric Palace Court Theatre this eve.
Full on Wessex work. More about them here:

I don’t quite know why this incisive political commentary on inheritance tax made me laugh quite so much today… but it really, really did #archers

This was last year - we dressed up inspired by the urban foxes who roam the streets with such confidence. #foxstrut

We’re front page of our local paper today - I’m one of the creators of Fox Strut - a walk for women and LGBTQ+ folk to reclaim the night - it’s on the 29th November in Bournemouth - #foxstrut

New social space. I'm in! I make outdoor theatre performance and installation about earth science... with a bit of feminist and environmental activism on the side. I tour Nationally and Internationally, um, and I dress up quite a lot. Anyway, hello lovely folk. Nice to meet you.
