Last summer I went to the Chalklander festival in Avebury celebrating the ancient chalk landscape. I even joined the procession around the stones.
Lovely to see it in The Stroller’s Tale, and I spotted myself in the photos!

Visited Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley recently. Its haunting beauty captivated me even on a damp day. Founded in 1131, abandoned by 1536, it's filled with tales of ghostly knights and a spectral monk. A must visit for photographers and storytellers alike. #TinternAbbey #Wales

Pancake Day approaching? Bored of the same old lemon and sugar pancakes? Then why not add some extra vim to the proceedings and throw a Lupercalia Pancake Party!

2/2 I hope this little gem gets collected into a paperback one day! If you’re into myths and the eerie folklore, it’s definitely worth a read. #2000AD #Folklore #FolkHorror #comicbooks #HerneAndShuck

1/2 I’m currently reading the "Herne & Shuck" strip from 2000 AD, and I’m really enjoying it! The blend of folklore and folk horror is fantastic, bringing characters inspired by Herne the Hunter and Black Shuck to life. It’s also great to see other deities like Cernunnos making an appearance.

Almost finished a piece I've been working on for submission to an anthology. It's been fun researching it and I think I would like to write a bigger piece from a different angle on it another time. Here are a few clues to my topic.

Just listened to an episode of Mysteries & Monsters where Paul interviewed @eerieedinburgh.bsky.social about his book "Hidden Haunts Ireland." Fascinating chat on Irish ghosts! Check it out & grab a copy. There's even a story from my West Cork experience!
