I don't know how to DM on here so have done it on twitter -

So, the next adventure in my futuristic cat novel, now includes whales in acts of benevolence towards other creatures... ooh.. I always think their eyes look so sweet..

This illustration is by Johann Anderson, 1746 who was the son of a whaling ship owner from Hamburg, Germany.

Sound on 😽🤍

Word Perfect

We always like to check what the first book sale of the day is in the shop. I think it's good luck, and a sign of a day to come.

Today, it was Word Perfect by Susie Dent, so we're going to have a PERFECT day.

Yorkshire Times Poem of the Week: 'God's Grandeur' by Gerard Manley Hopkins

How on earth did this get left out of The Whitsun Weddings. Among his finest things.

Huge shout out for the Edward Burra exhibition at Tate Britain ❤️

I See A Morning is about that hope. About the belief that we can be better. And that belief - in the face of everything - is powerful.

I See A Morning is yours now, find it on all streaming platforms and watch the lyric video on YouTube!

Community. That’s where I find my faith. In people. In memory. In the quiet, determined courage that pushes us toward something better.

I see change on the horizon. Do you?

"I See A Morning" out tomorrow.

Call me unhinged, but I just ordered six books on minimalism.

Rosemary Hill · At the Driehaus Museum: Tulips, Fritillaries and Auriculas Rory McEwen’s work is not only less concerned with conventional ideas of beauty, it lacks any obvious desire to please...

‘Fritillaries were among McEwen’s favourites. He felt a kind of awe for “these intense, wonderful little worlds of character” that had almost to be dissected to discover their “tiny, jewel-like, secret, nectaries”.’
