Lovely to stop in @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social and sign a copy of my book. And buy another book...

With all due respect to Mr Nolan, the perfect adaptation of the Odyssey has already been made.

How your email finds me today. But imagine him surrounded by fans.

When the weather cooled down I could finally brave London to do a book tour. I got to see A Feast of Folklore in the wild. Out now it has a foreword by @tastinghistory.bsky.social and recipes by me, as well as weird food traditions and tales.

It's publication day for A Feast of Folklore! Normally I'd be in town signing every copy I can find but I might melt in the heat. So pretend I'm posting amazingly professional promo pics here, and not clinging to a fan. #FolkloreThursday

Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social · last yr.

It’s 23 June, or Midsummer Eve, which can mean only one thing... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! Tonight’s the night when single women everywhere should make a cake with their own wee in order to attract a husband

If everyone could buy enough copies of my book that I can afford air conditioning that would be great. A Feast of Folklore is out this week! Buy here: share.google/9exGEoJ26syq...

Happy 11th Birthday to #FolkloreThursday! I would not have written half the things I have had they not let me guest host! Thanks to Willow and Dee Dee, and everyone else involved. And my book, A Feast of Folklore, is out next Thursday.

A little 300 million year old set of Neuropteris leaves.

Wish I'd written about sea gooseberries in my book. I love a comb jelly.

This is one of my favourite bits of foody folklore. For more odd edible cures and bizarre traditions order A Feast of a Folklore. Out next month! Available here: share.google/UNLMYfEwLqQ8...

Happy Shit-Sack-Day! Or Oak Apple Day! Either way it's the day to celebrate King Charles II hiding in an oak tree to escape his enemies. I love British folklore...

Happy #FolkloreThursday! Need to cure whooping cough? Get a ferret to drink from some milk, then feed the rest of the milk to the sick child. If you like food and weird traditions then order my book, A Feast of Folklore, out next month! Click here 👇 uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-fe...

This weather makes me want to evolve into a crab and scuttle into the ocean. I'm reliably informed everything is better down where it's wetter.

Me escaping the heat by descending into a swamp, like an antiquated reconstruction of a dinosaur.

With the eye of faith you can make out the doggy on this sherd of Roman pottery. #mudlarking

My mental health got the better of me. I was supposed to be talking at the Hay literary festival this year. It was an amazing opportunity. Unfortunately my anxiety about doing it got too much. I've had to pull out. Doing better now, but I think I have to accept writing is my medium.

Happy Beltane! Get your Beltane celebration going with a mock human sacrifice. In Scotland you pass bits of bannock, a type of oatcake, around. Whoever gets the burned bit gets the honour of 'dying'. For more food folklore see my upcoming book!

If you love food and folklore then do I have the book for you! It would really help if people could pre-order A Feast of Folklore. Plus it will teach you things to do with your nuts you never dreamed of. #FolkloreThursday amzn.eu/d/01YUPupr

Folklore says if the first butterfly of the year you see is white you will eat fine white bread the rest of the year. I do like a granary loaf though...

Happy St Mark's Eve! This is the traditional day for predicting your future spouse. Divination was done using a dumb cake, a cake baked in silence, or popping nuts in a fire. For more food folklore, pre-order my book here www.amazon.co.uk/Feast-Folklo...

A beautiful day for fossil hunting in the woods. Lots of little shark teeth.

Amazing talk by Gary Lee Boas about all of his celebrity photos and encounters. And New York naughty parties

Me hearing the post arrive: My parasitic wasps are here!
