Night owl...not a lark!

Its no secret that I am a night person, I stay up late and work better then...however this week I have also had early (for me) mornings! Burning the candle at both ends as it were, not good for my mood or looks, talk about bags under the eyes, here's hoping for a lie-in at the weekend :-)

Tonight is sorted!

The latest edition of Fortean Times landed on my doormat yesterday, and it has been tempting me since then...still in it's wrapper. My treat, if I do enough work today is to sit with it tonight and go through cover to cover...happy!

Jack the Ripper revealed?

Milky way.

After a lovely evening out with friends last night, we returned home slowly whilst staring at the sky, it was an amazing display of stars on a relatively chilly August night, and the milky way was showing up beautifully. It was only just gone midnight, and usually when I see it in all it's glory it is around 3 or 4 am, so this was a real treat, the only thing stopping me looking for hours was a crick in the neck and tiredness - a truly wondrous sight.

Dramatic night for this owl!

Hi folks, I was at the fab Festival at the Edge again this year, camping on the beautiful Wenlock Edge as usual, and on Friday night we were all in for a real treat - although not all would say so! We had just been to see the last gig of the night by Blackbeard's Tea Party who are a brilliant rock/folk band ( listening to everything they have ever done on spotify as I type btw) the stars above were stunning, and in the distance we could see flashes..were they photos being taken at the beer tent? No, it was lightening in the distance, fork lightening to be exact of the most dramatic proportions...and they got closer, and closer. We zipped up the tent, settled down, and then about half an hour later the most almighty storm hit, thunder, rain, the works. It was nice to feel so cosy, but the thought of the tent being hit was a tad worrying!
Anyway, we survived the night and had another great 2 days of merriment - phew!

New blog - also by me!

Hello! Long time, no blog (here at least) so I hope you are all well! I have started a new blog, all about the amazing folklore, myth and legend of the world, often quite dark, always very interesting!
