Now that’s what I call a grand night out…

Gritstone book due out this summer now that @cumbriapr.bsky.social can write her final chapter. Well done Wordsworth Grasmere, the best outcome wordsworth.org.uk/rydalmount/?...

Thanks to #Buxton Field Club and @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social for a great meeting and successful book launch last night! #naturewriting @gritstonebooks.bsky.social laurencerose.co.uk/product/the-...

@cumbriauk.bsky.social Welcome!!!

Why reading matters if you want to be a writer. You'd think it was common sense, of course, but it needs reinforcing, says Gritstone author Mike Raine gritstonecoop.co.uk/gritblog/why... #writers #reading

Theatre in the Lakes just gets better and better. If you're coming to the world premiere @VictoriaWoodTheatre, book accommodation nearby: www.reallakedistrict.co.uk/blog.aspx#wo... @lakedistrict.bsky.social

Tonight was the private view for my new book tie-in exhibition at The Armitt in Ambleside. ‘An A-Z of Beatrix Potter’ features loan items from the major Potter archives and offers new perspectives on this popular children’s author. It opens on Wednesday 18 February and will run until December 🍃📚🍄

Amazingly, Julian Cooper offered me my first solo photography exhibition, at the Archive Gallery in Grasmere in 2019. Apart from being a very thoughtful, imaginative, and accomplished landscape painter, he's also a highly amusing fellow to be around, with a dry wit of the best kind.

The book, and now an exhibition at Theatre by the Lake in Keswick @tbtlake.bsky.social stageylady.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/t... @lakedistrict.bsky.social

What is effective about this Burnham statement is it reads like something that he is personally invested in and is not worried about criticism for. More of this please.

Celebrate the news! Not only can I not name our local (local?!?) Police & Crime Commissioner, but when the first PCC election was held the vote was won by “Spoiled ballots papers”. This shouldn’t have taken so long. What comes next had better be better.

Actual. Good. News. stageylady.wordpress.com/2025/11/11/v...

Because I am an idiot I decided to photograph all the (visible from the street) Georgian doorways of Liverpool's Rodney Street with a 60 year-old Olympus FT camera. Turns out the half frame format of the camera goes well with the shape of the doors. #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Looking forward very much to hosting this symposium at our Ambleside campus tomorrow. We have a fantastic line up of speakers including Dr David Cooper as keynote and a number of our MA graduates who are giving papers 📚🍃 #LiteraryLandscapes

Fabulous review of a fantastic show at @tbtlake.bsky.social Theatre by the Lake in Keswick. The highest standards at a great regional theatre stageylady.wordpress.com/2025/09/26/t...

Points out the facts, not the right wing racist lies.
