Cailleach’s Herbarium / Scott Richardson-Read

Looks lovely !!

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

I would love to but bookshop.org doesn’t allow firm sales or special order sales so I have no choice to use other channels as it’s too much of a risk as a independent publisher to do sale or return if you sorted this out I’d be over the moon.

Another time I hope and thanks :)

Eileen and Scott portraits surround mill dust and dreaming bread book cover inviting people to come along to a celebration and book launch - it will be good craic and the building is accessible

This Friday evening @eileenbudd and I are having a wee celebration.

There’s still time to come along if you fancy a bit of Scottish folklore craic and shenanigans :)

A cricket ?!?!? That may have been my cat - 🐈‍⬛

Finally !

Literally thought you were doing g your accounts until I read Leo haha

I’m reassured it’s coming toward Scotland finally ! What a dry one it’s been!

A cat hugging a book in the sunshine. The cat can’t read but just like the hot cover. If the cat could read they would probably hate it as the book has no cats or pictures in it about cats. What do cats know though eh?

Just my cat and my book - melting together

Filing under things I wish people remember on the daily “Debates are not adversarial opportunities to make your ouponent look like an idiot. They are opportunities in which we can all become better, and grow.”

We had rain - the first in 6 weeks I’m so happy about this !

Returning to writing after authoring a book is the weirdest feeling - I am happy to be back in the idea soup but I think I’ve forgotten a bit how to slurp it up like before.

Isn’t it outrageous ! The money also doesn’t go to academics btw just the publishers

Also ha me for spelling Darraghs name wrong 😑 haha sorry !

AI gets gaelic so wrong ! Maybe gaelic is the only language to save us from the AI overlords ?

Had a great chat with Dareagh on his spirit box podcast - was an absolute pleasure to chat to as a long time listener first time caller - check it out ! (Try not to laugh too hard at the autogenerated chapter titles haha open.spotify.com/episode/5GA4...

Also my handwriting I’m sorry in advance

Ahhhh so happy this has arrived ! It’s been around the world twice !! Hope it brings you lots of connection and joy and thanks for your patience with the posties :)

Image a a man looking down at the floor in the woods with a cheeky smile and a cover of a book called Mill Dust and Dreaming Bread. The background Is black and there is a large red “sold out” stamp over the image.

Thanks to Brooke and Laura and the amazing team at Black Moon Botanica the book launch has sold out.

If you wanted to come along and have a blether there will be other opportunities, @eileenbudd and I are planning one on the evening of the 27th June in Edinburgh - all welcome!
