Even when attending a wedding (circa 1990) Pratchetts will always look slightly scruffy. Not my colour, not his suit, but we’re both looking at the camera. Albeit in a slightly bemused way. He would’ve been 76 today. GNU Dad. Happy Birthday. #Speakhisname #TerryPratchettDay ❤️
About a decade ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in honour of Shakespeare's birthday, here's what I found. 🧵

The Foggy Dew. This tune first appeared in Edward Bunting's The Ancient Music of Ireland (1840) but it's best known for the lyrics given to it by Charles O’Neill that tell of the events that began this day, 24th of April, in 1916 🇮🇪
People tend to think of classics as being “boring,” but we wouldn’t keep reading them for hundreds of years if we didn’t love them. Let me introduce you to some FUN classics:
There are fungi at Chernobyl that EAT radiation and nuclear fallout – and that’s only the start of this wild story 🍄☢️ Buckle up for a wild thread about radioactive boars, fungal space suits, radiation-detecting fungi, black frogs and a good dose of hope! 🧵
And then suddenly ... there was green. After months of grey and mud, I stood in this little wood last week and just soaked up the green, ravenously, greedily. Soon there will be bluebells and ramsons here, bursts of bright colour, but for now I am more than content with green.

i’m a strong believer in the power of “granny hobbies” to improve your mental health (and detox from digital everything) reading, knitting, gardening, crafting, cooking, baking, board games, sewing, birdwatching, playing cards, drinking tea …
Sometimes you meet trees that absolutely must shake themselves, stretch their branches and walk around the moonlit woods at night. This old beech has roots like coiling tentacles, not so much to tether him to the earth but to propel him around when my back is turned.
