Looking forward to talking about #DarkAgeLight & #FoodSecurity @ #GlastonburySpeakersForum #Glastonbury2025. The last chapter of my forthcoming book involves a fictional walk to Glastonbury, so I decided to walk there for real😀 Maybe I'll post as I go!

I've been too busy book writing (and tree felling/planting) lately to curate my social media persona. Anyway, here's a coffee-stained classic I've been wrestling with for Chapter 6

Ten book covers posted so far as background to my in-progress book #DarkAgeLight, all by women. Time for some dead white men to redress the balance - few such departed ancestors have influenced me more than these two

I'm too busy writing 'Lights in a Dark Age' to post much at the moment, so I'll follow Manda's example and post some covers of books I'm consulting as I write, with no further explanation... #DarkAgeLight

Good to see this important little book featuring @rupertread.bsky.social @mandascott.bsky.social & Morgan Phillips out in the world. It comes c/w a Foreword by me, though that's not why it's important of course - the clue's in the title/subtitle!
