'Opening the Door' A portal is to be found at 39 Tollit Square, Canonbury, according to Arthur Machen who knew rather a lot about the ineffable. 'For there is a great void' were the last worlds of one Secretan Jones who vanished on a wild Autumn afternoon, never to be seen again

Happy St Dunstan's Day (909-988) Best remembered for tweaking the devil's nose with red-hot pincers. A hermit, Dunstan was unused to guests. When an old man, a boy & a sexy siren dropped by, he sensed a diabolical plot. In a fury, the devil appeared & Dunstan lunged, tongs aloft!
How lovely to be able to visit AE Russell's moonlight silvered shore........maybe in dreams?
