Thank you for Bad Seed Tee Vee, The Red Hand Files, Susie’s engaging Instagram and the wonderful Stuff Pages. You are both bringing so much beauty and art and connection to these days – what a beautiful community you have both created. Sending you both love and longing for English spring. Have a sparkly day.
Also squirrels! How magic are they? Hope you see one today.

Love to you both Nadine x

Dear Nadine,

Just to say, squirrels are my husband’s favourite animal. He thinks they are possessed. Many mornings, he sits on our doorstep and feeds them. Talks to them too. Thank you for sweet letter, Nadine.

Love, Susie x

SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND BY ANGEL OLSEN

I just stumbled on to this extraordinary tribute to the great Karen Dalton by the ferociously talented Angel Olsen. A brave thing to attempt, this is a truly spine chilling version. I am truly awed!

SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND BY KAREN DALTON

I woke up this morning with this amazing song going around in my head. Karen Dalton is one of the truly great singers of all time, and this stark and sorrowful rendition of Something On Your Mind is as beautiful as anything I have ever heard.

IN PRAISE OF MARY ANNING

Last night, my husband and I watched this wonderful little film on the life and work of Mary Anning – the First Woman of Palaeontology. Not a subject we know a lot about, to be honest, but a fascinating woman, all the same!
