Mortgaged the caravan.

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

The almost mystical alchemy of reading: words into gold.

Lovely

Yes, it’s true

The Orwell estuary, Suffolk.

Couple of books from Darfield Library to get stuck into when I’ve read the one I’m on. So many books, so little time!

Strolling down to Darfield Library in a minute to change my book. Libraries are such beacons of civilisation and progress. Long live Barnsley Libraries!

No need for a light It is already daylight Where are my stockings.

A beautifully crafted tribute

Fred carries the papers into the shop as I arrive at 0558. He tells me he’s been mending his daughter’s greenhouse. I pick up my £30 lottery winnings; my life is changed.

Morning Dave

Early stroll. My strolling state of receptivity. A cloud shaped like Ireland. Is that mist the same as yesterday’s? That abandoned cupboard has been there for days. Trope into cliche: the dropped industrial glove in the middle of the road.

Here we go! @thatandymart.bsky.social

I switch the light on: Room, you familiar room. That half-finished book.

I left my home near Clitheroe to look for work and I'm so homesick. I was looking for a job and then I found a job and, heavens knows, I miss Ribble now.

The Sunday Lad is wheeling the flowers out when I arrive. He gets the papers out of the box and carries them in. He gets the scissors and snips the bundles open. Bottles of gin gleam on the shelves. Bottles of rum.

Morning Dave

Morning

Early stroll. Light has ironed the creases from the sky. Mist like a parliament of ghosts. That hopping blackbird has forgotten how to fly. A tree speaking fluent blossom. Three blue items on a washing line.
