Loving an old dog
You can't always get what you want

Where to find the Clay chapters and the Smugglers End posts, and why I was an idiot in Shropshire this week

Post-solstice listlessness, waiting for harvest, and chasing down the past
A material world
A part-free, part-paid piece about June roses, stone tools and our place in space and time
A bad thing happened on the way to the Czech Republic...
