Word Loft - Sue Claremont

Good morning, thank you to everyone who has liked, commented or reposted my posts. Just in case you are wondering why I have been quiet on here recently, I'm now posting and sharing on BlueSky.

A huge thank you for Reposting, @bionicanadian, @HistoryInbooks, @BrassWeb, @literatureposts and @AnneMarieClark6.

Ponies grazed by the ruins of South Kit Hill Mine and were friendly. Probably because they thought I had food in my bag, which I didn't, but that didn’t stop one from tugging at it. Perfect for me to caress their soft coats. Blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/up-and-ar… #cornwall #ponies

The branches of a twiggy, weather-sculpted tree crackled and swayed in the wind, adding to the spectacle of Kit Hill, Callington. Recent blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/up-and-ar… #kithill #callington #cornwall #trees #heathland #winter

Thank you so much, @NicolaYeager, @BrassWeb, @literatureposts, @penny_hampson and @saenticott, for reposting my Word loft posts.

The ruins of South Kit Hill Mine date back to 1856, when the engine house was built. Before then, since the 15th century, tin mining had been carried out above ground from long, narrow pits. New blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/up-and-ar… #kithill #callington #cornwall #heritage

Kit Hill, Callington, is special. A place whose name derives from ‘kite’, an Old English word for the bird of prey. The heathland is lush with flashes of yellow gorse, cheery against winter's muted hues. New blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/up-and-ar… #kithill #callington #cornwall

@TheFriendMag The Twelve Days of Christmas was my favourite this year. At a carol service at my grandson's school, the children acted out each verse and was so much fun.

What's your favourite Christmas carol? The Fiction Team has just discovered we have about five each!

@TheFriendMag I really enjoyed The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier, and currently reading Monica Dicken's, Mariana which I haven't been able to put down.

(1/3) Do you have some last minute Christmas gifts to buy? The Fiction Team have just been chatting about their fave books of 2025! Lucy C loved "Still Life" by Sarah Winman and "A Grief Observed" by CS Lewis. She's also rereading "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickins...

I was elated to see Mistletoe nestling in the boughs of apple trees at a local orchard. A sumptuous feast for birds, as well as making beautiful Christmas decorations. Happy Winter Solstice, everyone. Blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/magical-m… #mistletoe #appletrees #christmas #winter

With many thanks to everyone who has liked, commented or reposted my Word Loft posts. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.

Another image featuring mistletoe to go with my latest blog post. It's an illustration I painted for Clarence Noel, a story written for my son and daughter when they were young. Blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/magical-m… #mistletoe #cutemouse #illustration #adventcalendar

@SueC_WordLoft @HistoryInbooks @saenticott @BrassWeb @literatureposts @JoyYorkAuthor My pleasure for you Sue, hope you are enjoying your evening 🙏

There was usually a sprig of mistletoe hanging in our home when I was a child, a custom associated with myths & legends. Some countries believe it is a symbol of love and peace. A perfect decor for the times and season. Blog post: wordloft.co.uk/blog/magical-m… #mistletoe #yule #myths
