I love finding the unfinished paintings in The National Gallery whenever I visit

Mên An Tol in Penwith, Cornwall. A psychogeographic wander over stile, through stone, across muddy moorland and around Ding Dong tin mine.

A short pilgrimage after the storm, the skies were bright and the land serene. This is Mên-an-Tol, Cornish for the stone with a hole.

Wes Anderson at the design museum is magical

The oak tree I’ve been sitting beneath for fifteen years has been fenced in. Walkers fenced out. Sigh …

Unseen 7 - The Lore of the Longstone is out now and we have badges and postcards! I’ll pop one in with online orders. This issue of Unseen is all about a wander in search of this Neolithic monument.

Man made fire 350,000 years earlier than previously thought, discovery in Suffolk suggests Groundbreaking find makes compelling case that humans were lighting fires much earlier than originally believed

Okay. This is angering me.

First of all, “MAN”!?
We’re not in the nineteenth century FFS. There’s a better word and it is “Humans”.

And secondly - who the f£&k thought HUMANS only learned to control fire 50,000 years ago???!!!

Unseen Zine number 7 is out now … it’s all about the Isle of Wight! The Longstone is a pair of Neolithic portal stones one still standing tall and one on its side. Find out about The Lore of the Longstone in Unseen 7 … link in bio x

Eric Ravilious, White Chalk a modernist painting of white chalk pathways on the South Downs Sussex

I am deep diving into chalk; the soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock that my county is built upon. My hyper focus is strong on this one!
Eric Ravilious, Chalk Paths is pictured below;
and a poem from Patti Smith;
“Paths that cross
Will cross again.”

Roses at 10pm, the days are long and hot

21st Century Stone Circle with a Men-an-Tôl vibe (fun fact, my Dad hoofed a football through the hole from quite a distance … twice in a row! He’s 81 but still got it!) #stonecircle #stoneclub

Invisible Lines looks good 👍🏼

Watched Robert Altman’s 3 Women last night, Shelley Duvall is incredible in it. I just love these bold, simple yet complex female characters
