am a bit late for but after reading ’s comment on how much there was this year, and everyone else sharing their pictures, I spotted so much too - nice how these conversations alert you, and to be enjoying this all together. And masses of everywhere too. As someone else said: it seems to be a yellow year! Though a few too 😊

I just began delving into Robert MacFarlane’s “Landmarks”…brilliant, and moving.
From the six pages of regional terms for Rain and Storm…

-mizzling: raining lightly and finely, north-west England
-gleamy: showers and fitful sunshine, Essex
-thunder-lump: rain-cloud hanging over a place, Shetland
-clagarnach: clatter; noise of heavy on an iron roof, Irish

…then will move on to Mists and Fogs…

Reading 'Over Sea, Under Stone' by Susan Cooper, 1st part @theDarkIsReading, I'm as terrified as the children. I can only read in brief snatches before laying the book aside; a fourth (invisible) child in their company. The darkness seems imminent & real. Thank goodness for Great Uncle Merry!

Here's in today's on the magic & power of @theDarkIsRising

"The dark is always rising, and it is the work of the greatest stories to hold it back."
