Nan Shepherd’s shanty in the Cairngorms was her favourite place to be. The rise of the ‘she shed’ shows women have now cottoned on. But what exactly is a she shed? charlottepeacock.co.uk/2022/10/04/wha…

Do read this when you have a moment. I think it beautifully articulates what we all sometimes need to hear. That it's okay to take time out. To 'stop and breathe deeply'. deborahparkinphotography.blogspot.com/2022/10/i-took…

To live on the Suffolk coast nowadays is to live with no neighbours. Just a constant stream of air bnb ers. Ironically, I'm not far from Thorpeness, which was created as a holiday village for the wealthy, a century ago. theguardian.com/technology/202…

Happy Birthday #NanShepherd Born #OnThisDay in 1893 (at 9 o'clock precisely) in Westerton Cottage, Cults, Aberdeenshire#OTD

Love the #Cairngorms? Curious about Nan Shepherd's experiences and how they're seen through a modern eye? Looking for something a bit deeper than a walking guidebook to help you get to know the hills? This is the very book.

Never thought in my lifetime I'd utter the words "My memoir publishes next month!" I tell you what folks, there's a bloody storm brewing, cus I won't shut up about rural poverty, won't shut up about 2nd homes, won't shut up about the iniquity of this government #UndercurrentBook

Well worth switching on for. The Dee from the far #Cairngorms, #NanShepherd and Merryn Glover all on one show - not to mention genial host Paul Murton Paul Murton

This time this day next month #UndercurrentBook publishes so I'm going to post this & hide out on the beach for a few days to settle my nerves - if you fancy it & can afford it preorder here: linktr.ee/undercurrentbo… & if you can't, please share & I might just send you a copy x

Cults Library closing... They were kind and helpful when I was researching Nan Shepherd's life. I'm pretty certain Shepherd would have minded. Muchly.

Thank you, @ALCS for the work you do for authors and illustrators. And for today's payment which brightened up a rainy Wednesday morning 🌤️

It's just the loveliest thing to hear from readers. Makes it all worthwhile.
