I have selected Whitby for my winter constitutional bleakend, but I did Whitstable last year and that was a fine choice too. As long as it's grey and sodden you're doing it right.
GOING UP A pastel graphic titled “Going Up” dated Nov 16 shows an upward-pointing mint green arrow with five ranked items listed along it. Each item has a white circle with a number and a pink label beside it. The rankings read: 1. Rosalía – “Why sing in only one language when you can casually sing in fourteen?” 2. Romance novels – “Escapism for rainy days. Counting down to Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Ella Risbridger’s ‘In Love with Love’ on the TBR pile.” 3. Plaid – “An Autumn staple for good reason. Somehow both cosy AND rugged!” 4. Winter seaside convalescence – “Book yourself a little bleakend away. Chapped lips, solo dining and the impassive sea, grey as slate.” 5. Pluribus – “Telling the human race as a whole ‘the nicest thing you can do for me would be to leave me alone’ and they STILL won’t listen? I get you, Carol.”

If you need me this week I'll be warm and cosy in bed eating a bowl of strange grain x
GOING UP Ancient grains — “Getting really into amaranth & millet. Ancient grain era starts now.” Hot water bottles — “Turns out your granny was right about a lot of things.” Uncanny — “Back on R4 for spooky season with 10 new episodes. Bloody hell, Danny!” Asking for what you need — “A good practice to get into, even if you don’t get what you’ve asked for.” Flu jabs — “At yr local chemist for circa twenty quid.” GOING DOWN Andrew Mountbatten–Windsor — “Is he sweating yet?” David Harbour — “Probably not having the best month either.” The Q4 rush — “Shitting all over my pre-xmas wind-down.” Hallowe’en costumes — “I have decided that they are annoying, actually.” Gen Z Qs — “Why! Don’t! They! Understand! How! Bar! Queues! Work!”

My sister asked me what was GOING DOWN this week.

Truthfully I have been trying not to dwell on the negative, which is that there are kids in MY library.
A “Going Down” list dated Oct 26. Seasonal allergies – “So you’re saying we got through hayfever season and now there’s more of this shit?” Pinterest pumpkins – “Sorry! I’ve had enough! I’m a pumpkin purist; if it isn’t a spooky face on it then I don’t want to see it.” Half term – “Everywhere I try to go is full of horrible children having a lovely time.” Whatever Trump is doing to the White House – “The National Trust would never. And they’d give you a scone about it, too.” Wes Streeting – “This guy has annoyed me again, AND he still hasn’t sorted out the bins. I will have you out at the next election, my man.”

My favourite thing about The Heist is that they had their own tiny funicular railway to escape on.
A “Going Up” style list dated Oct 26 with five entries and images. 1. The Heist – “None of this crypto, AI bollocks – just good old fashioned crime.” 2. Jumpers – “You do not need to consider the rest of your outfit if you’ve got a good jumper on.” 3. Lily Allen – “They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She sure does make great pop music though.” 4. Joe Marler – “I’m not normally one for a rugby boy but if he doesn’t make the final of The Traitors I shall SCREAM!” 5. His Dark Materials – “Time to curl up and try to decide how your dæmon would settle as the final Book of Dust hits shelves this week. "

My favourite thing in all of Wanstead - the sign marking the good cherry pie of 1752, which one of the builders nicked from a passing pie-seller, for which charged half a guinea.

That day we had good cheer / I hope to do so many a year.

My very good friend @srotzschthomas.bsky.social has just put out this funny little book wherein he has too many opinions about Disney.

If that's something you're into you can grab a copy here: www.hive.co.uk/Product/Step...

Missed a week but don't worry, nothing much happened. Going up!!!
Oct 18 – GOING UP 01. Celia Imrie Farting, screeching National Treasure currently on the loose in a castle somewhere in Scotland. 02. BROWN Just really into it at the moment? 03. Chioggia beetroot Bathbomb beauties for those of us who like the IDEA of beetroot but do not enjoy our food actively tasting of mud. 04. The Chair Company New uncanny comedy offering on Sky for fans of I Think You Should Leave, Severance, The Curse. 05. M R James His season begins in Spooktober and runs until Ghostember. If you unearth anything with runes on it, probably just leave it where it is. (Caption: CELIA SHRIEKS STRANGELY)
