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!

Here we are @idler Festival bringing some @BBCRadio3 sounds to the orchard, come and see us if you’re here we start at 3.00 and it’s stopped raining 🤞
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 🐌
