A SPIRIT OF PLACE is a memoir of my deep connection to the ancient farm where I grew up & the souls who lived there long ago. Combined with my family, we have created a lasting sense of place. But changes flood the town & are alienating me. Do I abandon the farm & its spirit?

@nicolawriting Tragic account…

The thinnest moon-rind of hope, a fingernail to hang on by. Out there, on the arable, I heard a lapwing cry; saw a paddle-wing turn in the blue. A single pair, the last in the village, is nesting. Impossible odds (you need a critical mass of lapwings.) Griefstruck & hopeful …

@MistymlbBrown 😆🤣😳

Freedom ….

@LevParikian @nicolawriting Not shallow at all. Congratulations to Lev! A wonderful, sublime feeling, I'm sure! Beautiful cover, too.

Look, I know it’s shallow to be so excited by a book cover, and yes I can see this effect on the back of my bank card, but also LOOK PRETTY

Happy publication day to @natashacarthew and her stunning new memoir UNDERCURRENT. Full of hope, beauty and fierce resilience, it's a vivid and powerful exploration of rural poverty. Don’t miss Natasha here discussing her work with @Terri_White on Thursday 18th May.

@YasminChopin Thank you for the heads up! I'll have to read.

Some interesting conversation going on over here on the difference between Travel Writing and other types of writing about place. #place #WritingCommunity yasminchopin.substack.com/p/5-travel-wri…

Two happy authors at @HungerfordBooks on Wednesday evening. @nicolawriting and I had a great conversation about chalk landscapes, walking, writing, solo women travellers and much else, and met so many delightful people from the audience. @headlinepg @AgentSophieL

@goldbug49 That's crazy!

What's happening? My male #Siberiancat chased a #fox out of our yard today and I wasn't quick enough to get a video. @PowerofPlace

@HoganSOG Yes! About 25 years ago. Spent hours there taking it all in. Then across the street to Hore Abbey. Absolutely mystical.

@PowerofPlace It's a special place Lynn. Have you been there?
