Spent a lovely few hours with my pal, Gardener Dan, at Bunhill Fields, or Bunners, as the resurrectionists called it (thx for the intel Dan😉) The images show the resting place of Catherine Blake, wife of William. It was a privilege to spend a few moments with her. Thx Dan for enabling it 🙂

if you only buy one book about architecture or history this year make sure it's form follows fuel! 14 buildings from 4 millennia show how energy has shaped human housing, sustainability and climate through history, and its topical and informative interdisciplinary approach make this a must read!

Yo pre-order for a best of a decade group of reprobates, ne'er do Wells, and professional writers

I did a thing a while ago and recorded a podcast with @natclegg.bsky.social for the House of Zophiel podcast on my relationship with Dionysos. I hate speaking off script, and I foundered. But it was such a lovely conversation and if you fancy hearing me ramble, you can here. Hookland gets a mention.
