Nomadic bumpkin, now in Cumbria, usually covered in dog hair and mud, likes books, photography, a fair, just and inclusive society, the great outdoors, amateurish gardening, and vast amounts of tea - and not necessarily always in that order.

Lethargy wants me to stay right here on the sofa until I magically teleport to bed and/or the dog makes me a cuppa. I suspect I'll have to do both myself, but then I can continue reading "Elusive", the 2nd book in @genevievecogman.bsky.social's excellent trilogy about the Scarlet Pimpernel. #BookSky
The book cover for Elusive which is mostly blue and features a silhouette of Mont St Michelle with bats flying away from it. Above it is the word Elusive, which is decorated with the scarlet pimpernel flowers, and below it is Genevieve Cogman's name. Above that is a small illustration of a human skull and on either side of that is a French Revolutionary flag (blue, white and red).

Says it all really.
A screenshot from the BBC News app featuring a photo of Greg Wallace (looks a still from a video call) above a headline that reads "Greg Wallace hits out at 'handful' of accusers of misconduct". Below that is a summary of the article which reads "MasterChef host says complaints of sexual misconduct are from "handful of middle-class women of a certain age" after BBC News investigation." I have highlighted the quote about middle class women of a certain age.

Everyone else in the UK today: snow, sner, snow!
My garden in west Cumbria:
A collage of flowers from my garden, all looking blooming marvelous if you'll excuse the pun. Pictured are an orange French marigold; multiple pink and pale yellow toadflax; a blue cornflower; a pale and dark orange osteospermum; a pink and dark purple godetia; and a violet Nigella damascena.

Hebe. Antisocial AF unless it's on her terms. Likes to roll in anything revolting that she can't actually eat. Won't get up in the morning if it's raining. Few regrets in life.
My brown and white Jack Russell terrier sitting on a mostly collapsed dry stone wall that is covered in moss and lichen. It's crossing a bleak and empty fell side in early winter with dead undergrowth and wet patches of peat. The sky is grey and forbidding. The dog is surprisingly clean considering the surroundings.
