Down to stubble bashing now. First find up, and apart from the horrible crack, a decent looking rose Farthing.
Folklore / Folk Horror
by @tamsinwilson.bsky.social
Folklore and folk horror, mostly in the UK. Creepy, scary, old, and weird. Stones, stories, experimental folk music, and art.
A foggy spring morning at Fernworthy, no one there but us and a couple of rather hairy locals #StandingStoneSunday
It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded. Well, to be strictly accurate, today is the 68th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state. (Yes, sorry. This thread is absolutely disgusting)
Good morning.
Can you see the spooky face in the water. Tess took this picture whilst we were enjoying high tide at Towan beach yesterday. Can you see the face in the water? Video to follow later showing just how splashy it was! #pariedolia

The late 12th Century Galilee Chapel at Durham Cathedral, dominated by the shrine of St Bede. The large collection of medieval and continental glass in this chapel was set here in the 1960s. It includes glass from Ackworth Grange, Warwick Priory and several York churches.

It’s definitely a day for getting cosy and comfortable. Find somewhere nice and warm to curl up. Don’t forget to decorate your den. www.cutfromtheland.co.uk/product/wee-...
Fancy snacks and fancy movies...
Ponies and horses can be so kind. Here is one I asked to guard my car for me. Told him I’d definitely be back in no more than 45 minutes then ended up gone for a whole six hours. He stayed diligently at his post the whole time. What a guy!
'Stonehenge at Sunset' - I saw this stated as being by John Constable but it looks a bit too amateurish to me. It probably dates from the same period, though, and it's interesting - especially that roadside cross bottom left. A place to pray before passing by the devilish place? #StandingStoneSunday
Currently reading this, and it's excellent. The PDF is free of charge until November 5th. If you have any interest in #folklore at all I'd encourage you to read this. #SpookySunday www.cambridge.org/core/element...
