Reading the colophon of the Good Omens graphic novel (occupational habit!) and just realised it was printed in Italy… under an hour from me. 😍 Small world! Not out of local pride, but the print quality is stunning. @goodomenshq.bsky.social you’ve done @colleendoran.bsky.social's work justice.

Working in culture doesn’t exactly make you rich, but when your job is editing a new edition of Moby Dick in your own language, you realise you haven’t made all the wrong life choices after all. 📚🐋 #book #MobyDick #editorlife

When your husband knows exactly what to get you for your birthday 😌 Huge thanks to @goodomenshq.bsky.social, @colleendoran.bsky.social and all the amazing people who worked on it! And thanks to my husband, of course ❤️❤️❤️ Kisses from Italy! #goodomens #goodomensgraphicnovel

Christmas has arrived in Mordor… #christmas #mordor #lotr #lordoftherings

Few places on earth have given me the same raw energy as Wistman’s Wood in Dartmoor. The walk there feels like stepping away from the world—quiet, solitary—and then, when the forest finally appears, it takes your breath away. #wistmanswood #dartmoor #devon #dartmoornationalpark

So nice to see the Italian players comforting their Bulgarian teammates. That’s how sport should always be. Campioni del Mondo 🏆🇮🇹 #volleyball #volleyballworld

I still remember the first time I saw Once Upon a Time in the West: at her first appearance I was struck by her beauty, by the end I was struck by her talent. Goodbye, Claudia Cardinale #claudiacardinale

I lost someone I loved. She had early-onset Alzheimer’s, and watching her disappear day by day was brutal. When she passed, I felt relief—for her, more than for us. Part of me feels guilty, but some illnesses make death a kind of mercy. Can we be almost happy when someone we love is finally free?

It’s been years since I last saw Bruce Springsteen live – San Siro, Milan, we’re on our way! 🎸✨ #brucespringsteen #sansiro #milan #landofhope&dreamstour

There’s an Italy few people know about — quieter, but every bit as captivating. A land where time slows down, and history and nature exist in perfect harmony. This is Polesine. #photography #polesine #nature #palladio #slowlife #deltadelpo

My classic Easter movie - it’s basically a tradition now #LifeofBrian #MontyPython #AlwaysLookontheBrightSideofLife

An incredible experience. Birds of prey give emotions that cannot be described in words. I will always carry them in my heart. #photography #birds #birdsofprey #raptors #predatorybirds 🐦🦉🦅

I'm delighted to introduce A Home for Spark the Dragon, my new picture book for young readers, co-written by Jess Webb, with illustrations by Sarah Massini published in association with homelessness charity @Shelter. Available to buy at bit.ly/SparkBookshop

I'm a winter person, but nothing is more powerful than life being reborn #photography #nature #hope #narcissus

Let's try Pinksky with one of the many signs I've seen around Wales this autumn. The photo is neither particularly beautiful nor well done, but that sentence came at the right time. #photography #wales #welshpeopleiloveyou #pinkskyPost

Venice is a city victim of mass tourism that is transforming its body and soul. Go there in the low season, stay several days, get away from the usual tourist routes, talk to the people, let yourself be conquered by a thousand years of independence. #venice #venezia #photography #nomasstourism

A pleasant Sunday meeting #cats #photography

Hello! #cats #photography

When you love cooking but also love Tolkien... Memories of the desserts from the lotr themed dinner I hosted for my friends #lotr #lordoftherings #photographs #sauronlovesthiscake

It won't be the same to arrange the bookshelf without you. It's been 3 months, but I miss you more and more. #love #cats

I can't say I had a nice Christmas, but at least I deserved a self-given cuddle. Happy Holidays to everyone #happychristmas #happyholidays

Tartan is stylish #happyholidays #goodomensquote #goodomens

I flew to London just to see Macbeth at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Macbeth is a powerful work, but what they did with this specific performance (cast, set, sound...) was beyond all expectations. What a gift to humanity. #macbeth #haroldpintertheatre #davidtennant #cushjumbo

Visibility is a right. How often are trans people and their rights ignored? Ignoring them even in death is further violence. I see you I love you #TDoR

Just a few weeks are not enough to fully understand the life of a population, but they were enough to show me the strength, kindness and pride of the Welsh people. I felt so welcomed. Diolch. Mae menyw Eidalaidd yn caru chi 💚♥️ Other images of this wonderful land in the comments. #wales

Nye is a great show, and it made me reflect once again on the importance of public health service. My mother was saved by incredible people and she's still cared for, with dedication. And all for free (we live in Italy). Public health service must be protected. It's a question of dignity.

I have interacted very little here in recent months, and I have not posted. Life takes particular paths and it wasn't my priority. But I read a lot and everyone here is respectful and kind. Is a different social network possible? Yes. I really think so. Let's try it! #bluesky
