I wrote a piece for @idler about being awkward amidst their other families' Christmas traditions - it's on their webpage all this week. And here's my annual card to all here. May you all have a very merry and peaceful Festivity and let's hope we all thrive in '25!

Some might say, this was The Masterplan @oasis as I wandered to a church to ring the bells, only to find a box of The importance of being @idler mags. It was an Idlers Dream. @sleafordmods #oasis #oasis2025 #Oasis25 #OasisLive25 #oasisreunion #Bellringer #bellringing

I’ve seen, learnt, heard, drawn, eaten and read new and wonderful things with wonderful people. This, including an impressive rainstorm, is exactly how to ‘do’ early July in an English garden. Thank you @idler Festival @nationaltrust Fenton House 🐌
