Managed to nab me one last Network release I’d missed and should have got. Alan Garner’s The Owl Service (1969) remastered on Blu-ray. Barely in print due to Network going into liquidation a couple of months after release. Out of stock most places but found a marketplace seller on Amazon with new stock. I haven’t seen this in many decades. Limited edition Blu-ray box includes a thorough booklet full of info.

This is Jenkin Chapel, a small CofE church between Macclesfield and Buxton. Very close to Thursbitch. Very primitive, but wonderfully calm atmosphere. Sound of sheep and rooks from outside.

@lovecoastal Today I followed my first Mastodon hashtag - on from your home page. I’ve encouraged my children to read his work (less success unfortunately with grandchildren, who prefer something more ‘modern’). 40 years ago or thereabouts I visited the Edge and searched out some of the places he described.

Having done it once, you are visiting the Earth's secret places. Once you go through an area that is *hard* it's like you're backstage somehow, seeing a part of the world that you weren't invited to see.

Plus the whole weird-stuff-to-see thing. I blame reading 's Weirdstone when I was twelve.

There is a shapeshifter in my heart that longs to bend for ‘us and them’.

Alan Garner time travelled back to his childhood to ask his grandad to tell these stories to him. And he did. Grandad Joseph Garner, you bless us and our children.

Just finished a rewatch of Granada TV’s adaptation of The Owl Service. If they hadn’t done recaps before each episode, viewers would have been even more baffled. That said it’s a strange, mesmerising, unsettling series, attuned to Garner’s equally obfuscating prose. Still can’t believe it was made for children given the adult themes it was dealing with.
