If you believe the Nazis were left-wing you are two things: 1: A Nazi 2: As thick as pig shit. That is all.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"Beautifully written, with evocative descriptions. All the characters we know and love are there, perfectly realised and Sherwood is a character in its own right. A magical story involving the forces of nature and a fight against one of Robin's worst enemies." 💙📚 #FolkyFriday #FolkloreSunday

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

The annoying thing about making bread in the afternoon is that as I'm on my way to bed because I'm tired and it's been a long day and I'm getting up before 6 tomorrow, I find the nicely risen dough in its pan and it needs to be baked. Ten minutes oven preheating, 30 mins baking. Bed in a bit.

I teach a class called 'the 10k year pizza': a very rapid run through global food history. Students are always shocked when they see how global plants in European cuisine are. But these plants are substitutes or additions into evolving culinary traditions - I would love to see this exhibition.

This is good news for Orkney' farmers, and very good news for animal welfare. We need a return to more local abattoirs across Scotland. High quality Orkney lamb and beef PDO adds value to local produce #keepOrkneytheBrand #keepScotlandtheBrand www.thescottishfarmer.co.uk/news/2493162...

If you are running folklore or folklore adjacent conferences or events and want your recordings preserved for the future, or want recordings making if you can’t do it in-house, then the Folklore Library and Archive is a charity that serves that purpose. Get in touch and we can see how we can help

There's never been a more important time to promote girls and women in science, now that women are being erased from their achievements. Science belongs to everyone . www.un.org/en/observanc...

All we can do is try our best with what little time we have. Volunteer with a worthy cause. Donate to your favorite charities. Enjoy some boozy milkshakes & laughter with friends. Disappear into the misty woods and become a wandering legend of the wildlands.
