I see Undercliffe House is up for sale again. I wrote a long form piece for Viva Lewes about this remarkable place (that I lived directly beneath) a decade ago. A cast of residents that you couldn’t invent, a pure Edward Gorey fantasy. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

St. Lucy’s Day was once tied to predictions of the harvest in Swedish farming communities. The brightness of Lucy’s light was believed to foreshadow the success of crops in the coming year, intertwining agriculture with spiritual hope. #WyrdWednesday Art: Adèle Söderberg
