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

Thanks for joining today's #DistanceDrift for #MaytheFourth. Remember folks: Do, or donut - there is no try.

Morning! As today's #DistanceDrift falls on #MayTheFourth let's take an intergalactic Star Wars walk. Wherever you wander, embrace your inner geek, adventure into alien terrains, go over to the dark side or be quietly at one with the force. You get the idea. Share finds as you go or at the end.

Happy May weekend, folks! Maybe see you for a gentle #DistanceDrift tomorrow? Usual deal: prompt at 10am BST; join wherever you are for a curious wander then, or anytime thereafter.

Happy May, fam 😊 Our tip jar month is now closed and FREE SUBS are open! We suggest getting subs in early since we sometimes have to close them early. As always, check out the guidelines: buff.ly/clgj2uZ

Up with the sunrise to bring in the may. Riotous dawn chorus including my first cuckoo of the year. A good omen, surely? Merry May!

📣 We are excited to announce the release of Shirley Jackson Studies Volume 2, Issue 2: Jackson & Folklore! 📣 This issue features illuminating articles by @amycoles.bsky.social, Margherita Orsi, @soniaoverall.bsky.social, and Candice Bailey. Read it here: shirleyjacksonstudies.org?page_id=381

Happy 5th anniversary #DistanceDrift! A lot has changed in the years since our first lockdown wander. Today's prompt is to simply take a reflective walk somewhere meaningful to you and spend some time with your thoughts. What have the last 5 years been like for you? What are you hoping is to come?

A heads up that tomorrow will be our April #DistanceDrift & the 5th anniversary of this project (our first lockdown drift was on Sun 5/4/2020). Walk wherever you are; join in sync, Sunday 10am BST, or follow the prompt in your own time thereafter. Hope you can stroll along. #psychogeography #walking

I'm incredibly excited to be able to share some news about the Quiet Horror Anthology project! First: The title has been updated to SILENT SCREAMS😱 Second: I can finally reveal our stunning cover art by @ewbstuff.bsky.social Third: Table of Contents attached Tagging the incredible authors below👇

Morning! We haven't had a colour #DistanceDrift for a long while & today's proximity to St David's Day tells me it's once again time to follow yellow. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, be led by yellow objects & flashes. Share finds as you go or at the end - bonus cheers for daffodils!

Just a heads-up that tomorrow is the first Sunday of the month, so we'll be wandering together apart from 10am. See you then for a spring #DistanceDrift

Great talk coming up this Thursday by my fellow CKHH co-director. New to his platform so please share!

After listening to the wonderful Parrot Theatre reading student writers' scripts, a walk to the creek and a nose at the architecture, there's time for tea and a quick reread of the book before this evening's talk at Faversham Literary Festival

Heads up #writing folk! Call for creative work for this year's Chapter House anthology 👇

Thanks for joining today's Candlemas #DistanceDrift. Stay warm folks, happy onwards wanders and see you again on the first Sunday of March, if not before...

Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift falls on the feast of Candlemas. Wherever you wander, indoors or out, seek encounters with the first flickering signs of spring & sources of light in the darkness. Be as literal, lateral or metaphorical as you wish; share finds as you go or at the end. Ready?🕯️

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Sunday) is our February #DistanceDrift - see you here for a seasonal walking prompt at 10am or join in whenever you fancy thereafter.

Hello, all. Because of the entry system screw up last night and we're a little low on entries, we'll reopen for 24 hours as soon as we can make it happen on Monday morning, so you have the weekend to get your entry ready, and we'll announce Monday when we're open! Share?! bssp.blogs.bristol.ac.uk

Morning! Welcome to the first #DistanceDrift of 2025, in its new virtual home, on the auspicious date of Twelfth Night. The party's over, folks: wherever you wander, indoors or out, seek the last gasps of festive cheer in your environment. Share your finds with the hashtag as you go or at the end.

And we're off! #hoodening rabble and friends on our way to the first venue of today's tour and wassailing in Sandwich

Oh, it would be lovely to see some #DistanceDrift here. If you need some inspiration to get up on a January Sunday, it's here.
