See, a proper book, (little book, but a proper one) with an ISBN number and everything. Cover reveal and ordering details coming soon-ish. And yes, there is an-anti piracy, anti LLM curse embedded in the text. It is Hookland – you'd expect nothing less.
Floral sonication / buzz pollination. ❤️🐝
Thank you Johnny. Not seen that before.
I think that this is a perfect single. Don’t you?

#ThrowbackThursday to our very first episode, released in 2020. Listening now...
Episode 1 - Suffolk wood at 6am (28 mins)
Even though it is early morning, there's lots going on. Listen to birds and country sounds with a road in the distance.

One of my very favourite #folklore books. Published in 1780 by a #Monmouthshire minister and stuffed with a plethora of weird phantoms and #fairylore. Jones retells how his father saw the #fairies and repeats many first-hand encounters with the likes of Death Omens and Black Dogs.
