Reading for a rainy Saturday on Hefted, from @GeorgeKitching. "The name John Pepper is largely lost in Lakeland literary circles. But his ode to Cockley Beck, where he spent six winters engaged in a search for meaning, is a classic of nature writing..." hefted.substack.com/p/cockle…

Lovely linescape from Mark to accompany a forthcoming Hefted piece from @GeorgeKitching about the little-known John Pepper masterpiece, 'Cockley Beck: A Celebration of Lakeland in Winter'.

Named for a tragedy & rocked by a murder, serene Brothers’ Water hides its secrets below the majestic cliffs of Dove Crag. I walk up to the cave called Priest Hole and tell Dovedale’s stories. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @walkingbookscom

Celebrated the solstice with an evening walk up the Old Man of Coniston. A rare treat to have it to myself.

The Cartmel Peninsula with its ring of outlying Wainwrights boasts a landscape rich in contrast, but ever close are the perilous sands of Morecambe Bay. On a 24 mile round, I recount 2 Victorian tragedies. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @ByLakeland

Druid Animal Lore
11. Lynx : sadly extinct the the UK, it is believed to have supernatural eyesight, even capable of seeing through solid objects. It's the ‘keeper of secrets’ and symbolises the psychic power of clairvoyance

"Let Uther Pendragon do what he can,
Eden will run where Eden ran"
Even with the assistance of Merlin, Uther, father of King Arthur was unable to divert the River Eden to provide a moat for Pendragon Castle

Just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has bought and read my books. It’s insane how much love they’ve had and still get - almost every day I get letters from readers, and the sales figures are nuts.
A big grateful THANK YOU from me.
