It’s a gurly day today, wind and rushing clouds tinged with pink from the last of the dawn light. #ViewFromTheGate #photography #Fife

This is doing the rounds. Due to ignorance of their name I can’t attribute the artist but am very happy with the result! #WorldCupQualifiers #USA2026 #Scotland #Football

#ViewFromTheGate frosty and clear today. The dog flushed a pheasant on our walk and got super over excited. That is all my news.

Dawn, spreading gold and pink over our home. Very frosty here. #photography #Scotland #winter.

So farewell #StormBram we got off lightly this time round. So long, and thanks for the rainbow. 🌈 #ViewFromTheGate

It’s beautiful - but getting tired of the mist & frost combination. Had to knock the bolt on the shed open after spraying with de-icer and then kick the poultry houses to get them to open too. #ViewFromTheGate #Frost

#ViewFromTheGate Today’s weather: shite. We’ve had 45.5mm of rain over the past four days (less than forecast 🙌) and still raining. #Fife #Scotland

@JackTheCat In which case I’ll bet my money on him not being impeached.

#ViewFromTheGate Nothing is so beautiful as Spring When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; #GerardManleyHopkins

Lettuce in the rain, variety, Salad Bowl.

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 23 - How do you make sure you deliver on your writerly promises? I promise stories, I write stories. Everything else, the readers have to take up with themselves.

#PhantastikPrompts 23. Oktober Wie viel (erweiterte) Familie gebt ihr durchschnittlich euren Protagonisten? Familie ist ein wichtiges Thema in meinen Geschichten - leibliche und gefundene, liebevolle und schwierige, sichere und dysfunktionale. Das bedeutet, dass ich normalerweise die Familiensituation meiner Charaktere gut kenne, auch wenn ich nicht alles davon schreibe. "Tote Eltern" mache ich selten. ^^

#ScribesAndMakers Oct 23 - Our next featured creator enjoys hiking. Do you enjoy being outdoors, and if so, does it have an impact on your creativity? I love being outdoors - hiking, biking, running, just sitting on the balcony. Being outdoor plays a huge part in my stories - the latest protagonist is a semi-Dryad. I often get inspired by natural color combinations for my wardrobe, and I love to craft wtih natural objects (I am not good at it).

#PennedPossibilities 1164: Bookish Delights: Have you ever read a book where you knew that one of the MCs or SCs would make a good friend of yours IRL? Yes, occasionally. Although I do not make friends easily and love being by myself.
-
#WordWeavers 23/10: What rule – legal, cultural, magical, social, or otherwise – does your MC regularly break? Officially, Bjarne does not exist. He showed up in the village and the villagers made sure he had everything he needed. This did not include a passport, a social security number, or a birth certificate - they decided keeping him a secret would help keep him safe. I am certain at some point this will cause trouble, but by that time he may have diplomatic immunity from such things.

Oktober ist Geistersaison! Und wenn du nicht weißt, wohin mit deinen Geistern, schick sie einfach ins Geisterhaus im Siebengebirge. Mina wird sich schon kümmern. #fantasy #halloween #phantastik #horror #gruselspaß #phantastiktalk #buchstodon https://diandrasgeschichtenquelle.de/gruftgefluester/band-8-das-oktoberhaus/

#PhantastikPrompts 26.10. Wie kritisch liest du selbst? Schon ziemlich kritisch. Ein gutes Buch schafft es, mich so sehr zu fesseln, dass die innere Kritikerin temporär die Fresse hält. ^^
-
#WordWeavers 26/10: Share a moment from your WIP when a character says one thing but means something completely different. "Did you at least put a laxative in their mead?" - "Why would I? I like flute music." Which was a lie.
-
#PennedPossibilities 1166. Would any of your characters actually survive a “zombie” apocalypse? Define "survive" - not be eaten during the initial outbreak? Several of them, I believe. Most of them are clever and fast. Make it to old age? Ah, probably not. Or maybe they would. Depends on too many things to be sure.
-
#WritersCoffeeClub October 26th How did you develop your voice? My "voice" is what I cannot stop doing. But I think I sound more like me these days, I am less afraid of sounding cringe. ^^
-
#ScribesAndMakers 10/26. What's something you accomplished this month that you weren't sure if you would be able to? Nothing, it's been a slow month. But I am here and doing the work, so that is good.
-
#WritersCoffeeClub 10/27. As a writer, what do you need right now? Time and energy. Sounds like a physics problem.
-
#PhantastikPrompts 27.10. Bronze, Silber, Gold – gibt es sportliche Charaktere in deinen Geschichten? Und standen sie mal auf dem Siegertreppchen? Falk aus "Magie hinter den sieben Bergen" war früher Straßenkampf-Champion und geht bis heute gern ins Fitness-Studio. Helena trainiert eher praktisch orientiert, für falls sie sich mal wieder in Schwierigkeiten bringt. In Schattenfall sind vor allem die Zirkusleute sportlich, von denen sehen wir noch mehr.

#ScribesAndMakers 10/27. Do you collect (unaltered) natural materials for projects? I rarely ever come home from the woods without new rocks, pine cones, or leaves, the occasional empty snail shell, a nice twig, ... - and sometimes I turn them into crafts projects so the guy won't notice I am basically a giant magpie looking for shiny things.
