Evidence of Maytime Milkmaids and Maypoles on today's #DistanceDrift in gorgeous Sandwich. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend - merry May!

It's #DistanceDrift time, and as we're still in the midst of May weekend, today's prompt celebrates some iconic symbols of the season: maypoles and milkmaids. Wherever you wander, seek out evidence of them lurking in the environment... Interpret freely, as ever; share finds as you go or at the end.

In case there's anyone still here who joins in, a heads up for #DistanceDrift this morning. Prompt live at 10 (ish) if you fancy a creative wander.

Easter egg hunt #DistanceDrift for anyone who fancies it!

Rabbits! It's the first Sunday in March, and today's #DistanceDrift takes its cue from the saw that saying (and seeing) rabbits on the 1st of this month will bring good luck. Wherever you wander, seek the leporid, build a bunny, hare about - you get the idea. Share finds as you go or at the end.

Morning! As today's #DistanceDrift falls upon St Brigid's Day, Imbolc and Candlemastide, let's wander seeking signs of the tip from winter into spring... Staying home? Time for some seasonal indoor adjustments, tiny spring cleans or maybe, make a Brigid's cross to hang inside your door.

Footage of this year's #Hoodening and #Wassail Orchard Walk in Sandwich. Big thanks to everyone who came along. See you next January!

Post #DistanceDrift treat - trying out a shiny new cafe. Especially welcome after packing up last night's #hoodening and #wassail event!

Shiny and new #DistanceDrift: shiny shop window, ducks breaking a new pond on a sunny spot in the frozen river, bright new future for an empty shop?

Shiny and new #DistanceDrift: buds and bulbs growing, trees glowing, frost sparkling...

It's the first #DistanceDrift of the year, and today's wander invites you to seek out the shiny and new. Wrap up warm or saunter in your slippers; interpret freely; share finds as you go or at the end.

It's a bright and crisp morning for a #DistanceDrift. I'll be blowing the cobwebs away with a wander from 10am, if you fancy joining me wherever you are.

Cosy #DistanceDrift continued: Inglenook advert; Christmas candles in the church tower shadow; the irresistible call of coffee and cake.

Cosy #DistanceDrift: sheltered leaf nest; fireside promise; cheering wreath; cosiness in a glass dome at the excellent @creepymoonclub window...

It's chucking it down out there again. Time for the Big Socks... Inspired by the seasonal weather, today's #DistanceDrift invites you to get cosy. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, seek that which comforts. Give yourself a hygge hug. Share finds as you go or at the end.

What's this? Feet up for a few minutes on the train? Never fear, I'll be squeezing in this month's #DistanceDrift tomorrow (Sunday) at 10am... Join me for a virtual seasonal wander then, or any time thereafter, using the hashtag.

Anyone up for a welly walk? Todays #DistanceDrift is a seasonal invitation for Allhallowstide: walk in search of ghost traces in the environment, seeking signs of the lost and erased. Interpret freely; share finds as and when you wish. Wander at home in your slippers if the outdoors isn't calling.

Hello folks. If you're up for a seasonal wander, tomorrow (Sunday) at 10am I'll be posting this month's #DistanceDrift prompt - join in wherever you are, in sync or thereafter.

Silent Screams is out now. It's the first anthology I've edited and I love every single story inside it. If you prefer your #Halloween scares quiet and filled with creeping dread, then this is the book for you. eBook and paperback: mybook.to/SilentScream... #Horror #ShortStories #WritingCommunity

Morning! If you're up for an autumnal wander, today's #DistanceDrift is a gentle invitation to gather the colours of the season. Wherever you find yourself, seek to join the dots of oranges, reds and golds. As ever, interpret freely; share finds as you go or at the end.

Off to Brontë country to celebrate the launch of a new anthology I'm delighted to have work in. So, this Sunday's #DistanceDrift will be in glorious countryside and subject to moorland signal. Join me from 10am Sun for a creative wander.

Looking forward to talking about and #writing bird #poetry at the wonderful Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory this weekend. Places still available on my Sunday workshop - see the QR code on the poster or visit the website sbbot.org.uk

Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift is on a seasonal tipping point: school is back, the days are gradually shortening... Wherever you wander, pay attention to evidence of the summer's passing and autumnal ripenings. Interpret freely; share your finds as you go or at the end.

If anyone is so inclined, tomorrow (Sunday) it's time for another #DistanceDrift - and yes, I'll be posting from another festival. Creative #walking prompt here (and on Instagram for the first time) as close as I can manage it to 10am BST. Join me then or in your own time thereafter.

Morning! Apologies for lack of festival signal today, making our wander later than usual. If you're still up for a #DistanceDrift, today's prompt asks you to step out with a dance in your stride. Share your side steps, street boogies and any evidence of dance you encounter, indoors or out...

Heads up creative walkers and #psychogeography wanderers! Tomorrow at 10am BST is our August #DistanceDrift. I'll be posting as best Ican from a festival field, so you might want to bring your wellies.

Thanks for joining today's #DistanceDrift. Do keep wandering and sharing your spiral walks and finds... See you on the first Sunday of August for another creative drift.

Morning ! This month's #DistanceDrift invites you to take a creatine wander, wherever you are. Today we're seeking whorls, swirls and spirals in the environment, indoors or out, or walking those shapes with our feet. Let yourself coil close and unravel; share finds as you go or at the end.

#DistanceDrift heads up for our virtual wander tomorrow - prompt for creative walking here at 10am BST. See you then...

My play Death and the Carpenter is touring East Anglia later this month, with gigs in Norfolk, Essex, Cambs and Herts. Here's a peek (no spoilers) at how it looks... tickets from www.parrot-theatre.co.uk #folkhorror #gothic #folklore #puppetry

Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift invites you to take a sensory walk. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, be led by touch. Seek varieties of texture. Prefer to go hands free? Feel for textures in the terrain. Share finds as you go or at the end.

Hello folks. A reminder for those who fancy a wander that it's time for another #DistanceDrift this Sunday. Join here in sync at 10am BST or thereafter in your own time. #psychogeography #walking
