And the award for the most beautiful venue of the “Uncle Vincent” tour has to go to Dunbar’s Harbour Chapel! One more performance of this beautiful play by @rebekahking.bsky.social tonight in Smailholm Village Hall. Hopefully we’ll be taking Vincent on the road again next year though 🌻

Hearing @johnnymains.co.uk talk about this at the recent Tales of the Weird event has sent this straight to the top of my ‘to buy’ list.

As a one-time librarian I can’t wait for this one!!

It’s good to know that, no matter how bad my drawings are, if I write something important enough beside them they might be on the cover of a book one day.

Someone pointed out to me recently that the song of the mice in Bagpuss is sung to the tune of ‘summer is icumen in’ which I think means Bagpuss is a folk horror... www.readingmuseum.org.uk/blog/bagpuss...
