Symptom: the repeated retractions of hope. Hope comes in like a wave, leaves dry.

Also, the HERALBONY Art prize exhibit is on for the next few days, and they have a virtual tour/viewing available. One of my pieces is a finalist and on display. Please check it out !

When much of the north of England suffered under the rapid changes of post-industrial malaise it’s nice to hear of one remaining family business still going strong.

A sinister water spirit - known by several names in folklore, including Nix, water-horse or each-uisge - taking a boy into the lake. They say children are often enticed to climb onto their backs and then get stuck there as the water creature returns to the lake.
