I admit to being enchanted...especially as the Notes suggest to me that the tree was grown in the South of my own county, Lincolnshire! Very best seasonal wishes!

Very best of luck! But the album alone is enough...extraordinarily absorbing... Congratulations!

Thank you! 45 years of publishing (mainly poems) have not dimmed the excitement of a really sympathetic review! Very best wishes!

And I could not put down @nicolawriting.bsky.social's new 'Ghosts of the Farm': youth.,horses, Miss White, a tough Second World War woman farmer,, & Nicola's own keen eye on the future of our food & the fragility of farming landscapes & their wildlife...

I read @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social's bulletin every week. How well they defend wildness, without sentiment. Here you will find badgers AND barbed wire - & art, music & books exploring a still-green but troubled world!

Rennie, how kind! 'VIllage' is in short sections,to read between day & sleep,between feasts or January showers. Chapters 1-2 are Victorian- including the rediscovery of Isaac, our village's skilled black farmworker. But Ch. 3 brings my grandmother,with stories & sweets for all! Grateful best wishes!

The horn's village history includes the old wheelwright who hoarded it, & the dynamic Victorian vicar who saved it. In the 1830s, Betty, our 'witch', blew the horn for wedding banns, lowered it & said...what? Find out #OnePlaceWednesday in my prose book 'Village'.

When the horn was blown each evening at the Manor, the last quaver travelled two miles on the wind.The labourer straightened up. The cottager (or his son or daughter) chivvied cows off ‘commons’.Was this the village’s memory of a world before enclosure?' 'Village'
