Heads up that I'm probably being more active over there now if anyone's not already found their way to it yet
"The Great Cold's on her way... This is the most dangerous of them all, and she'll come in the afternoon, when the sky changes to green, straight in across the sea. [She's] very beautiful, but if you look her in face you'll be frozen to ice."

#FairyTaleTuesday The Lady of the Cold from Tove Jansson's #Moomin book 'Moominland Midwinter' (1957) brings ice and snow to Moominvalley. She is described as extremely beautiful, however if you look into her eyes she will instantly freeze you to death #GothicAdvent๐ฅถโ๏ธ

Hooklanders talk of 'the Other Path'. It flows from sea to county's northern edge, but never starts nor end in the same place twice. It's said if you walk too far along it, you'll find yourself in Faery. This may explain another name it has โ 'the Way of the Lost'. โ #CLNolan
Listen to this to help get you in a festive mood
Coventry Carol is such a lovely old tune. I have a soft spot for carols and this one particularly reminds me of a far more innocent and less commercial time of year.
Tried to arrange in the style of John Renbourn. #fingerstyle #folkbaroque

#DontGoIntoTheWoods A lady gathering ivy at Christmas in the woods near Rowlands Castle on the South Downs met a horse & rider. When she looked away for a moment they vanished, and at the point they disappeared there was impenetrable undergrowth on either side of the road.

Spooky Advent day 24: Quis est ist qui venit? Spooky seaside sheet shenanigans in M R James' Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad. And thus ends my creepy Christmas countdown, thank you all for following along...
ALT A black and white illustration: A beach at sunset. A silhouetted man in the foreground is about to walk past us. He is wearing a flat cap, a jacket and plus fours. In the background there is a figure of what might be a person but also might be a vengeful wraith. Who knows.

A postcard featuring the Lincoln Imp (and, perfectly, addressed to Tennyson Street). It was sent in 1905, just a few years after the Imp and its legend became famous.

The cold fields of winter are not asleep. They are formed of ghost soil. No frost-hardening, no wind running across them with razors in the mouths of its gusts, will ever be enough to keep their phantoms from waking. โ #CLNolan

#BOOKOLOGYTHURSDAY Pre-central heating & electricity, snow was oft portrayed as a fatal entity , creeping up on the unwary: 'Cauld's the snaw at my head, And cauld at my feet, And the finger o' death is at my e'en, Closing them to sleep.' (Allan Cunningham, artist unknown)
