This is the best thing ever Even if you hate Christmas. Open the advent calendar with Chris and a variety of footnotes chrisgatescreative.wixsite.com/mysite?fbcli...

Everyone stop what you are doing and order this book now. Heard and interview with the author on @folklorepod.bsky.social and had to get it. It's amazing. Just so ridiculously charming and I needed it. I really did. It's a much needed tonic to all the negative news and crap that is flying around.

Loving the current theme on Fabulous Folklore. #Newgate was a big part of my life for a while*, so this was a joy. I was technically an inmate there for a year. I got paid for it though.

What a weird way to tell the world you just don't "get" what art is.

Can anyone sling me some good #folkore particular to #York? I need to write a #shortplay You can write one too, if you're a #playwrite. Or if you're not a playwright and fancy being one. Here are the details: www.pitchforktheatre.co.uk

Well that was an experience. Thank you @dannyrobins.bsky.social er al A good night, but the best takeaway was that we can all have a different opinion and have fun together. You can be a believer and like a skeptic, a skeptic and like a believer. Or just not know. Good times

It's time for some @dannyrobins.bsky.social action! #UncannyLive #Brighton

Apparently, Facebook thinks my new theatre project is breaking community rules. It's not. But I'll try and start a revolution of sorts if you promise to take a look: www.pitchforktheatre.co.uk #NewPlaywrites #NewPlays #Folklore #York #Brighton #Theatre #TalesofTwoCities

I am super proud to be finally sharing this. 2 theatre practitioners,we worked out a way to combine locations, folklore and art. Welcome! www.PitchForkTheatre.co.uk I have big dreams of involving as many places as possible eventually. have a look and send us your thoughts! #folklore #theatre

Dear FDA, My nan wants some #Tylenol for her headache but is meeting a friend, can she still make eye contact after one Tylenol or should she wait until later?

Dear Science, Given that we don't have #Tylenol in the UK, am I a different brand of autistic? Also, will taking paracetamol help top up my autism a bit day to day? How much do I need to take to finally be good at maths?

I went to a castle and it wasn't even haunted. Pfft

On Tuesday 7 October the team from @nfsengland.bsky.social will be giving a free presentation at 7.30pm about the National Folklore Survey for England at Crediton Library in Devon. Come and learn about the project and chat with others. Refreshments available Free tickets from bit.ly/flaevents

Just listen to this. Honestly, just listen to it.

OUT NOW! Season 10 Episode 178 HETTIE NETTLE'S HANDBOOK FOR HEDGEWITCHES Listen free at www.thefolklorepodcast.com/episode-178.... or in your podcast app I meet up once again with @clairebarker.bsky.social to discuss her new book, which introduces children to solitary witchcraft and nature

Vague,but basically a bad year has been peppered with a LOT of inspiration from the @folklorepod.bsky.social , @karenstollznow.bsky.social, Blake Smith & @mattbaxter.bsky.social, @icysedgwick.bsky.social and many more. Now have confidence and drive to channel my love of folklore and theatre ❤️

Finally, I have found somewhere to channel all my folklore and theatre obsession. At the beginning of the year, my resolution was to learn and research local folklore and history. Then the year got HARD. But I still did it. And now I've got the perfect place to make use of it.

My weekend was one big loregasm #glastonbury #kingarthur #tor

In Glastonbury. Staying at the foot of the Tor. I could not be happier.

I don't really miss being a professional actor. I love being able to be in a theatre on a regular basis and getting to play super little character roles. The parts get better with age. Last show for a while. It's a good one #MrsJoe #actorlife #SouthwickPlayers

I think I have just found the most amazing coffee house in the world. I don't want to sound dramatic but this coffee is so lovely I could cry. #ChasingRabbits #Hove #Coffee

A cat. Because why not #cat #whynot

This is pretty much the closest thing I have to a familiar. He's a pillock

Never give kids blue stuff. Never.

My kid is singing "Ghost Mustard" I'm not going to tell him.

Also, I wish that a 'pantry' was still a thing. It sounds magical and tasty and full of wonder. When I grow up, I will have a pantry

I don't know who to credit for this. But credit none the less

Honestly, if you didn't spend the morning looking at sleeping sugar gliders then getting to feed one then you you aren't as cool as me.

I actually take it personally when a thunderstorm misses my town

Me and @neilmdrew.bsky.social : - I love you, I want to share everything with you forever - Ok. Did you nick my lighter? - Yeah - Can I have it back? - lol. No.

Day 2 of #CryptidConUK Jeff Davis is my favourite speaker. He and DJ Brewster have been fascinating to listen to. #AlaskanKillerBigfoot #Mosters #Bigfoot #Folklore

The struggle is real. At least it is for @neilmdrew.bsky.social . The man is a hero

A rather lovely start to the weekend, watching My Bigfoot Life. Not for everyone. But spoke to me because it's got cryptids and the journey of an autistic boy. #bigfoot #cryptids #autistic #CryptidConUk

#CryptidConUK begins here. @neilmdrew.bsky.social is driving like a hero. 4 hrs to go... Maybe a stop off in Glastonbury. #roadtrip #cryptids #weeeeeeee

decades-long manhunt finally ends

In other news... I'm about to drag @neilmdrew.bsky.social to Somerset to the third annual #CryptidConUK. There will be updates, honestly for my own amusement more than anything else, and photos and stuff. #folklore #cryptid #UKCryptid #Bigfoot

This will never not scare the living fu*k out of me. #PunchandJudy #Brighton #BrightonToyandModelMuseum #Lookatthatbabythough

Shepherds Crown in Hove With thanks to @neilmdrew.bsky.social for pointing it out ❤️ #folklore, #windmills, #WestBlatchingtonWindmill

Something just reminded me of the Glo Worm toys from the 80s and now I'm resentful I didn't have one all over again

Here is a dog I saw on the street. I asked to take a photo of it because, you know, fluffy. I'm proud of my life choices . #dog #fluffy #floof

"Had posh grapes" Turns out that's "wine"

A good partner is one who enjoys a gluten free beer at a random pub then buys a bunch of them for you both. I mean, that's not all a good partner is, but it really helps #glutenfree #celiac #LongManLager

Nothing to see here, just some actors doing whatever the hell this is #theWickTheatre #GhostTrain #Charlston

I can't believe how bored seagulls look when they're mating

Does anyone else call him Daddy Skarsgaard?

The very greatest of weekends with old friends and new ones and of course the man of my dreams

I went to the farm. This goat was a DICK. He bullied all the other goats and in this photo he is actually trying to punch me.
