Time travelling wild swimmer, weaver of words and fabric and magic, walking the boundaries and borders of liminal land. Marmite lover.

I'm a #readingambassador for @Literacy_Trust and as it is #NationalStorytellingWeek it seems a good reason to remind everyone about my #childrensstory which is brilliant to read aloud and has places to add your own #MONSTERS #stories #readmeastory #GoAllIn

Bram Stoker was born #OTD in 1847. He is best known for his 1897 novel 'Dracula,' a landmark in vampire literature. What is your favourite quote from the novel? #BookWormSat

The most ancient of trees, the Yew symbolises #Saturn & death, but also the rebirth of light at the winter solstice. It is Old Magic, dark dreams, Otherworld journeys & connection to ancestors. It is perseverance leading to transformation. It is renewal. #FairyTaleTuesday

@cumbriawildlife Sneaky beast!

[Hookland @HooklandGuide]

Even in winter, the wood calls out to be walked. Its paths tell your boots to ignore the mud. Its occulted roots whisper to your bones with promises of clearings you've never encountered before. The way into it is a seduction that makes even the oldest of us young again.

Skiddaw purchase complete! 🙌

While you lovely, fantastic people helped to raise the money for #SkiddawForest back in October, there were still a few things to sort out before it was truly ours. But we can finally say...WE'VE BOUGHT A MOUNTAIN!

Jeremy Corbyn is suing Nigel Farage.

RT if you can’t wait to see Nigel Farage bankrupt

@SStarmeroid @AtHomeOnTheMoor @Peston My husband is a teacher. Nowhere near being able to retire at 51, certainly don't have any "surplus" salary- we are watching the bank balance each month as payday gets near and we decide what to do without this month.

I found this talk wonderful - sad that the correspondence book had sold out but had to sneak round,booklets to say I enjoyed it. And I had been ##openwaterswimming- the room wasn't THAT cold!

Thank you so much to @kerriandrewsuk for tonight’s absolutely mesmerising Cultural Landscapes talk on Nan Shepherd and the power of walking. A really special event, during which we were immersed in Shepherd’s private and public writings on mountains and place 📚🍃@CNPPA_UoC

"Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too."

RT if you are that majority.

@GarethDavies007 You've got a Welsh name, boyo.

This is the lovely Jeremy Clarkson. He’s used his show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ to vilify Badgers as responsible for the spread of bTB and has shot all the Badgers on his farm

He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull..

@ScarredForLife2 The tarring and feathering scene in Huckleberry Finn. I didn't really understand it at the time but the looks of terror and anguish on the scalded men stayed with me a long time.

Our Skiddaw virtual tour is here! See the vast scale of the site, find out about what's already there and learn more about what we're hoping to achieve. You'll also see some cracking views of the Lake District, as you'd expect ⛰️
