My parents made this bird sculpture from various bits of wood and old metal they found in their shed and made a perch for it on the sawn-off trunk of a dead tree, and it makes for some great folk horror winter sunset photos.

My mum and dad’s metal bird sculpture in their garden, earlier this year.

I needed to escape into a familiar and comforting story this weekend, so I’m listening to L M Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Rachel McAdams’s narration is just the tonic. I so wish she’d narrated the whole series.

The audiobook cover of L M Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. A red-headed girl wearing a blue dress and straw hat stands on a grassy hillock with a blue sky, white fluffy clouds and the sun behind her. Pretty flowers frame the scene.

Hey gang! My pal Abi is setting up a community bookshop and space in Glasgow focusing on good food. In dark times, bringing communities together feels extra important. Can you chip in a few quid to help them create an accessible space? #Booksky #Glasgow www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/glasgowcul...

Let's fund a fully accessible fit-out of Local Honey Books, a new culinary bookshop, pantry, and community food events space in Glasgow.
