No sleep last night, we did a bit of maths but bleugh!
So I’ve declared today a day off and we’re going to start learning how to play D&D instead.
Any D&Ders out there? Where do I begin?
Small one has been desperate to play for months!

The sun is out, it feels ‘safe’ at The Park; dog walkers slow their pace to admire the view. The bus drives across the hill, its shadow flickering jauntily along the walls, but something’s not right. Are there other, hard to glimpse shadows running alongside? #thepark #Hookland

#FolkloreThursday Many people have been pixy-led as they travel across the remote hills and moors of Devon and Cornwall, or even at night on familiar roads. To avoid getting lost in this way, turn your coat inside-out, or carry some bread in your pocket.

In 1835, south-west Ireland, a tiny shoe was found by a farm labourer on a remote sheep track. It is 2 and 7/8 inches long, black, worn at the heel, made with tiny hand sewn stitches, possibly from mouse skin. Did it belong to the ‘good people’?

Mixed with anemone bulbs- the first anemone of the year must be picked saying-
‘Anemone, I gather thee for a remedy against all diseases’
and kept as protection against illness.
