A History of Scottish Witches ( @penswordbooks ) has arrived!

That's me all set up for my pop-up stall in the St Enoch Centre today, with lots of Glasgow-themed goodies featuring some of my favourite photos. It's beside the lifts at the east end of the centre, so if you're in town today, stop by and say hi. #glasgow #glasgowtoday

I'm going to have a pop-up stall in the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow again this Saturday (2nd May) from 10am. I'll be selling copies of my book Glasgow Uncovered, as well as prints, badges, fridge magnets and greetings cards featuring a variety of my photographs. #glasgow

It's May Day, the opening of the month which in medieval literature is the most magical time of the year - a season for love, fairies, and marvellous dreams aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-may-… 'When merry and hot is the day, And away be winter showers, And every field is full of flowers...'

Spent a very interesting afternoon being interviewed about Mata Hari by a young woman from the Netherlands who is studying female espionage agents. #Espionage #netherlands #MataHari

This week in Glasgow, the need is clear and so is the impact. 🔹 3,290 people supported with hot food and housing advice 🔹 380 people prevented from sleeping rough and supported into hotels and accommodation Behind every number is a person who needed help and got it. At Homeless Project Scotland this is all delivered by volunteers. No paid staff. No big CEO salaries. Just people helping people. We are on the frontline every day and night but demand is rising and the pressure is relentless. We will not stop !! If you or someone you know needs support reach out. 08009992477 If you can help us continue this work please do. 💙 Volunteer 💙 Donate 💙 Share No one should be left behind. No one should be left on the streets.

Still some tickets left for my talk on Duns Scotus tomorrow night at Bedrule church. eventbrite.co.uk/e/remembering-…

Let joy be unconfined. The end weekend is almost upon us! I know I’ve posted this a few of times before, but I couldn’t give tinker’s cuss. It’s such a joyous banger of a tune. In fact, I’m going to start playing this every Friday, Just in case you’re not aware, it’s The Miss Marple Theme by the great Ron Goodwin. Good morning.

It's a writing day today!

The only problem with taking my dog out with me when I'm exploring Glasgow is that she's developed a knack for photo-bombing my pictures! I'll post the dog-free version, with it's description, tomorrow. #glasgow #architecture #dog #dogwalking #photography
