I've just had to prove I exist to teach at a university.
Pictures of me and my passport were taken.
And the machine replied.
'Your LIVENESS has been confirmed.'

Delighted to have a feature on #GhostsoftheFarm in #BBCCountryfile A story that revealed itself in a filmic, elegiac, dusty light, & truly haunted me. God I'd love to see this as a film. I can picture my forgotten women, zipping each other into dresses, forsaking breeches, to gales of laughter.

My book,Ponies at the Edge of the World, tells the story of Shetland ponies and the people who love them. Based on my PhD research, and journey to live in #Shetland, it reflects on how our relationship with others, human, animal and landscape, affect how we feel at home in a place

Badger loved to gaze into a moonlit night,
Seeing what he could see in low dancing light.
One glance wasn’t enough to take it all in,
And to truly see what was hidden within.
With patience, he studied each shadow, each hue,
And saw more with his heart than his eyes ever knew.

I really enjoyed this book and it led me to reading previous ones by @cauverymadhavan.bsky.social . I hope The Inheritance has a sequel too.
Written by @cauverymadhavan.bsky.social, and here's a description of one of her books which sounds like the most on brand thing for me 💙📚

It’s lovely, @cauverymadhavan.bsky.social The Inheritance - the inheritee being Marlo, a quaint house on Ireland’s Beara peninsula. Starting alone he acquires a crow, a blind cow, befriends the numerous locals. There’s history and History and warmth and tears. A book to cuddle up and read.
