@RevRichardColes And to you, lovely.

@RevRichardColes @Wdalecreamery The finest Wensleydale of them all.

@silverpebble @silverpebble2 I had. And now I’ve found you there too. Hooray!

icymi I've set up camp on the other, kinder place that's *not* run by Tr*mp's most sycophantic pal. I'm @silverpebble2.bsky.social over there. Tbh it's like that particular grassy spot in the Alps where a novice with ADHD felt all singy & twirly ...after living on Elm Street.

@silverpebble I’ve got nothing but to say, please hold on. And send love from someone who is not that far.

Not sure whether to tweet this but PMDD (mental illness,in my case severe caused by hormonal changes & strongly linked to autism) has got the better of me again & I’ve been referred to the MH crisis team. I’m aware my thoughts aren’t safe. Can’t ask friends to help bc is too much

It’s been so lovely here today. The isle at its finest in autumn light.

@tonydpoison This was actually gonna be a question for you because I might need this account to go quiet x

I'm about over there now, too.

@JayHulmePoet I use a Farrahs Harrogate Toffee tin. The square flat ones. Ideal!

I hope you know how hard I’m holding on to you. I don’t know what else to do.

@JasmineGardosi @MarkGristPoet @LeanneModenPoet @BacklandStudios It was GORGEOUS (and the Musk is hiding my replies - so sorry )

@beesmade @MarkGristPoet @LeanneModenPoet @BacklandStudios Oh I love this! 🥰🥰🥰

Ohhhhhh @JasmineGardosi is taking off my head today!! Walking home from work almost twirling. Lush!! Excellent stuff from @MarkGristPoet @LeanneModenPoet, Charley and lovely Chris @BacklandStudios

@KatieAiles @darsnowdenw @Process_Pro Someone gave me The Honesty Room on a cassette (backed with Ladies of the Canyon!) and life has never been the same! She has always brought me words I’ve needed. Grateful to have seen her live twice in the UK. “That year February was so long that it lasted into March” saved me.

@beesmade @darsnowdenw @Process_Pro Oh it's so good to hear from someone else who knows and loves Dar! My parents took me to loads of her concerts when I was younger and her music holds such a special place in my heart. Really glad you enjoyed the Process episode & thanks for reaching out :)

Ohhhhhh @KatieAiles !!! I never hear anyone mention @darsnowdenw Wheeeeeeeeeee!! (February, The House that Pain Built, but most of it honestly.) Also just loved listening to you on @Process_Pro Podcast today. Thanks for keeping me company. #PoetryCommunity

@MrEagletonIan @scholasticuk My friend is gonna teach me. I can crochet (and knit) but i can’t get this kind somehow. It’s gonna need a human!

@beesmade @scholasticuk I wouldn’t even know how to start! I’m not sure I can even sew on a button!

My neighbour’s 14 yr old daughter came over to give me this cute little ghost! She’d taught herself how to do it on YouTube and wanted to give it to me to celebrate The Boy Who Cried Ghost! Can we tell her how great it is please?! I’d love to show her your comments!

@waitrose And what care do you take of your more vulnerable customers in this situation? Order 35 minutes late - but risk is that there’s nobody there to take it in and put it away. I realise unforeseens occur but care needs must be planned I’m afraid. Not everyone has a safety net.

@beesmade Hi Beth, there may be unforeseen delays along the drivers route which cause this however, if we know in advance of any delay with grocery orders, we will do our very best to let customers know. For the latest update on your order, you can check this on your order details. ^Angela

@waitrose hi. Why is there no way you can let customers know when grocery orders are going to be late?

Looking forward to writing 'Poetry on Demand' for the good people of Whitchuch tomorrow (Saturday 6th October) with @BigStevePoet my fellow @pandemonialists . If you're at Blackberry Fare then come and find us.

It seems fitting that, in this, the 70th anniversary year of the publication of #LucyMBoston's 'The Children of #GreenKnowe,' the garden should be flooded. Photographs by Kate Boston.
