Pensive

25th January 2026

currently reading “What We Found In The Ground” by Eleanor Bruce & Lucilla Gray

Not having to wake to the alarm at 5:30am is such a treat and I get to do it for fifteen days now!

No people today is the big plan, lots of tea though.

Pulling out the books I want to work through during the next couple of weeks, some on basic watercolour painting, some on book binding, and a few books on witchy practice.

I’ve really enjoyed not having to rush this post in the hour and a bit I’ve got to get ready for work in the morning.

Pensive
I used to go to the Whitby Goth weekends regularly but prefered to photography around the edges and not hound the goths, this young woman looked deep in thought and was just waiting patiently.

Four of Wands

Today’s draw from the Sacred Rose Tarot is the Four of Wands

celebration, joy, harmony, relaxation, homecoming

The Four of Wands is perfect for the plans we have for the next two weeks.

A celebration of home, lots of cooking, board games, snuggling up on the sofa to old films, all that sort of thing, a complete break from the past few months.

A chance to breathe and recuperate, to relax in our own home together and rebuild some strength.

It will also be a time of planning the garden for the next year, to get more herb space in.

Added Meteor House Press, Night Shade Books, and No Reply Press to the indie publisher directory so far, may add more later.

Also took the opportunity to sort out the upcoming books list, taking off stuff that’s been published and adding some to look out for in April.
