@arealmofwonder I love this, what a perfect capturing of a fleeting moment in time x

Worthwhile poem? ✅️

@AlternateHist1 @GenealogyBeech @AdamCC92 @FernandDouin @FrDavidPalmer @GPics @SpiritoSutterby @beefeater407 @thetudortimes @AnneBoleynFiles @ULHistory @UoLHist @history_lincoln Thanks for the background - I hadn't realised is was countywide, but I do know that we celebrate Lincolnshire Day on 1 October and it was chosen as it commemorates the Lincolnshire Uprising in 1536

@arealmofwonder Thank you x

New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy. (And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

This animation from 1932 is a masterpiece. It was the first cartoon to win an Oscar.

@Ofmooseandmen @thebookseller Congratulations on 20 years - and here’s to many more!

As we head into our 20th year of publishing We have the same 'mission statement' we did when we first started. To find stories that the mainstream thought too risky to publish. 31 books short listed or won lit prizes. 2 books adapted for BBC TV. Magic. @thebookseller

@Saganismm I understand this so much - I have lost my Mum who was also my best friend - and this makes complete sense to me.

“My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are - really and truly - still in existence somewhere. I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them. There's a part of me - no matter how childish it sounds - that wonders how they are. "Is everything all right?" I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were "Take care." Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to my parents, and suddenly - still immersed in the dreamwork - I'm seized by the overpowering realization that they didn't really die, that it's all been some kind of horrible mistake. Why, here they are, alive and well, my father making wry jokes, my mother earnestly advising me to wear a muffler because the weather is chilly. When I wake up I go through an abbreviated process of mourning all over again. Plainly, there's something within me that's ready to believe in life after death. And it's not the least bit interested in whether there's any sober evidence for it. So I don't guffaw at the woman who visits her husband's grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It's not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she's talking to, that's all right. That's not what this is about. This is about humans being human.” ― Carl Sagan

@arealmofwonder Thank you x

@JP_Biz I am so sorry for your loss, I wish you love, luck, peace, bravery and strength x

Fiona Gribben, my wife & best friend, died this morning. The last two years have had too much pain & sadness. But also great moments of love, fulfilment & kindness. We are lost without her.

@Joseph_Fasano_ Thank you, I hope you find peace and love to restore your spirit, take care and see you soon, hopefully x

I'm signing off for a little while to take care of my mind & spirit. For many years I've tried to help carve out a little corner of truth & beauty in this space. I hope it's been helpful. And I hope to be back soon, with new words I've heard in the wild & quiet places.

@StuartHumphryes Most appropriate gif I could fine - I love your work!

It's my birthday! An older & wiser BabelColour would like to extend a warm birthday hug to my lovely followers have have supported, encouraged & engaged with the work over the last year. Thank you all for being so nice and friendly x Here's a 1950s Cockney knees-up to celebrate!

@ElliottBlackwe3 I feel that so much. Take care and I hope you find warmth in the memories x

Today is the anniversary of my mother's death. Despite the years, the loss lingers and the merry feeling of the holiday season is deeply mingled with melancholy.

@karenfthompson Yes - this exactly x

Twits of a certain age.. I’m feeling very nostalgic and sentimental today… I’ve a day off and am deep in thought of days of old … I miss the Christmases where Grandma was in the kitchen, every cousin was in the house, and none of us knew life would ever change. Back when the lights felt brighter, the days felt longer, and the magic was so real we didn’t even question it. Nothing hits like those childhood Christmases… the ones you don’t realize are the “good old days” until they’re gone. If I could bottle that warmth, that chaos, that love…I’d open it every December. Here’s to the memories that shaped us, and the people we wish we could sit beside just one more time. 🎄❤️

@erfmufn Wishing you love, luck, bravery, peace and strength x

This week I was rushed to hospital with a diagnosis of oesophageal cancer. I don’t know what stage, but at any stage, it’s a bit of a prick to deal with. I won’t go out without a fight, I’ve got way too much to fight for. I don’t need anything, I just wanted to let you know.

@Joseph_Fasano_ @MaudlinHouse Hey! Congratulations on the publication! I’d love one but I am in the UK!

Want one? To celebrate the 12/1 launch of The Teacher, I'm giving away 3 signed copies. Just leave a comment or a like so I see you, and I'll drop your name in the hat. Thanks to @MaudlinHouse for sharing this story about what language, listening, and love can still try to do.

@HWarlow I hope you are feeling better soon and all is well. Wishing you love and luck x

Hello everyone. Dr Came. I’d already phoned 111. Ambulance on its way. Doctor thinks it’s heart related. …will arrange a scan

@sophieRblake wishing you love, luck, bravery, strength and good news xx

I’m welcoming all positive wishes, good vibes, and manifestations today! 🙌🏼 In for my first PET scan in almost six months and the scanxiety is very real when you’re living with stage 4 cancer, the waiting is honestly the hardest part. Every little pain or niggle becomes a “what if?” Thank you, as always, for being there 🩷

@Remi_Harris @YardbirdArts Well done Dani - to you and your support team! Wishing you love, luck, bravery, peace, strength and a rest before the next treatment xx

My beautiful wife Dani has just finished 6 weeks of chemo and radiotherapy. I'm so proud of her for making it to the end 💙 It has been pretty brutal at times! She has traveled over 4000 miles to and from the hospital over the last 6 weeks... (1 of 2)

A round of applause for the French is in order! 👏👏👏
