Feel so lucky to see the Waterhouse exhibition in London some years ago. What an artist!

Tempestarii were weather making witches and/or wizards who possessed the power to raise or prevent storms at will. Anyone reputed as a 'weather maker' was the subject of both respect and fear in rural areas

A joy to take delivery of my new book #IsolationWard. Often think of how amazed my younger self would be that I'd one day use my life experiences as a published author 😊

The Forget-Me-Not has always meant faithfulness & devotion despite separation & death. It is also linked to the loss of time when memory goes, & is a symbol for those who support dementia. It means not wanting to forget but also not wanting to be forgotten. #MythologyMonday

This month (1862) during a picnic on the banks of the River Thames, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) told young Alice Liddell the tale of Alice’s Adventures Underground. It became one of the most famous books of all time.

More than a hint of the Gothic about this Welsh sunset:
"Sunset near Caerphilly"

And speaking of Byron's funeral #OTD 1824, there was that time they opened the coffin...

"...No decomposition had taken place & the head, torso & limbs were quite solid... His sexual organ shewed quite abnormal development..."

“Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?”
― David Baldacci

We often find people sit, read and be nice to each other in the Gladstone Room, which is both a gathering-place for residents and diners, and a comfy retreat for curling up with a book.
