It's beautifully and relentlessly sunny in London. I don't have much in the way of poems in Little Griefs featuring the sun, so here's one featuring the moon instead. The final part of 'Dates with the Fates'. Buy a copy here!

One of many past watercolour compositions featuring flowers and plants from my garden. There will be new paintings when things start growing. I don't know what happened to the Chinese Lanterns (Physalis). They don't seem to come up now (must try again).

Following a spring clean at Longbarrow HQ, I've found a number of hardbacks (ex-bookshop / damaged in transit) that are perfectly readable, but not saleable. If you're in Sheffield (postcodes S1-S12 only), and you'd like a free book, message your postal address and I'll deliver it over the weekend.

It feels as if this gown was made to be admired from the back, for those in the room to watch the wearer as she left them bereft of her company, leaving just a sparkle of diamanté in her golden wake. Agnes-Drecoll, 1930s

1/5 Extravagant hats were all the rage in the Edwardian era. These hats had to be secured with hatpins, which women sometimes used for self-defense. Many countries passed laws banning hatpins that were longer than 20 centimetres or required that hatpin tips be covered.
