The sun came back over the Forest, bringing the scent of May. All the streams of the Forest were tinkling happily to find themselves their own pretty shape again and the little pools lay dreaming of the life they had seen and the things they had done. ~A.A.Milne #MayDay A.A.Milne @A_AMilne on X

The Romans called it Floralia and the Celts named it Beltane, but since medieval times in Britain it has been known as May Day, a celebration of the coming of summer complete with maypoles, morris dancing and gathering flowers as in Laura Knight's work from 1910.

This week's #MurderEveryMonday is all about temperature.There is at least 1 @deanstpress.bsky.social title that fits, but since it leaves me cold, I'll not Barge in on it. Instead a plug for @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social this week, along with another Martin and 3 chilled titles. #booksky #Reading

In Now, Voyager (1942), Bette Davis’ transformation is one of Hollywood’s most iconic makeovers, showing how wardrobe can be as narratively powerful as dialogue. The transformation isn't just surface-level glamour - it’s character development through costume.

O Douglas was an immensely popular writer during the first half of the 20thC - comforting books about middle class women, mostly in the borders area of Scotland. I took a look at them, and was sucked in. (though of course I had criticisms...) clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2025/04/how-...
