Visited lovely Ulster Museum during a recent cruise gig, where - amongst other gems - there’s Richard Wilson's "Landscape with Banditti".
Oh, and a stoneware Pumpkin Pot by Kate Malone, which I would like for my home, please.
See you soon, NI...

“It’s quite too horrible.” 👁️🕯️
Henry James was born on this day in 1843, and in 1898 and gave us one of the most chilling ghost stories ever written: The Turn of the Screw.
Everyone should own at least one copy with a John Atkinson Grimshaw cover...
Fun day exploring one of Wales’s “most haunted” places - everyone’s favourite Gothic Revival Victorian mansion house with its very own ghostly gamekeeper, Margam Castle.
Met some great people, heard some eerie stories, and even managed to record a quick (slightly chaotic) video. 👻
Alfred Hitchcock’s Gothic thriller Rebecca (1940) was released 86 years ago today. Hasn’t aged a day… 🕯️🌙
