That early morning #autumn feeling in Epping #Forest.

It's that time of year when the nights become longer than the days, the mist starts to form on those cold mornings, & the leaves start to turn a glorious gold.

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week?

If not, remember that every day is a new day. It's a chance to wipe the slate clean & start afresh. Remember to be grateful for the little things in the world around you.❤️

Ghosts matter. This is a hill I will die upon.

They were like us once, human. These rich stories serve as portals to the past, conduits for everything that came before us and also everything that will be. They hold up a mirror to us, our own hopes, fears and isolation. They are history, legacy and memory.

Ghosts give us a chance to understand.

The Ghost barge of Ironbridge is a brilliant example of this.

The Ghost Barge of Ironbridge

I don’t think there is a place quite like Ironbridge. That whole area is very special to me and serves as an indelible symbol of home, and...

#standingstonesunday The enigmatic X shaped collection at Nether Largie and the twin stone circles at Temple Wood. Both in prehistoric #kilmartinglen where you can explore 6,000 years of human #history in one fascinating place. Our free downloadable guidebook shows you where and how to explore the area by bike, car or on foot. #archaeology
We are blessed with untouched temperate rainforest and ancient woodland. Swathes of moss, lichen and ferns cloak our trees, understorey and rocks. Autumn pops up fungi fruiting bodies. There are 50 of our favourite #walks in the area outlined on our website. These pics were taken on the yellow route along the shore of the longest sea loch in Scotland #lochfyne at Ardcastle.

My twitter followers are jumping ship. My engagement is dropping rapidly. They changed the algorithm to force feed me right wing accounts. And white supremacy, Islamophobia, & antisemitism on Twitter are being defended as valid points of view.

By contrast this Mastodon community is igniting robust dialogue, respectful disagreement, and offers little comfort to racists and bigots.

This is what Twitter could’ve been, and I’m really hopeful this is what Mastodon continues to be. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽

feeling good, my research is showing women led the thrust of immigration to the Orkneys. ‘The Farmer Needs a Wife?’. It’s hard to know what happened in the cold mists of the Bronze Age. I write fiction so I’ve concentrated on evoking that past as it might have been, using historical facts and intuition to help bring my world alive. Changes in DNA, culture, and language happened and were absorbed into the culture – life was fluid #writersofmasterdon #amwriting #bronzeage #historicalfiction
