My Ingush Word of the Week is "akhk" (ахка) - summer ☀️ "Akhk, it's gonna be hot in England this weekend!" 🥵 (more on Insta, including summer festival and swimming escapades...)

My Ingush Word of the Week is: "khair" (кхера) - stone. A last-minute family trip to Avebury has been inspired by Stone Lands (Fiona Robertson) - an amazing book by Fiona Robertson. Can you see the face in the megalith, too?

Hi there, time for another Ingush Word of the Week! "Rainbow" 🌈 in Ingush is... "Siela'ad" (селаIад), which literally means 'Siela's bow' 🏹. Siela (Села) is the Ingush pagan god of thunder and lightning ⛈⚡️ Now, I do love a bow and a few arrows myself... See more on Insta!

My latest Ingush Word of Week raises awareness of the plight of cats trapped in a folk music environment... 😿 "tsisk" (циск) means "cat" "Tsk! Tsk! What are you doing in there??"😹 My cats are called Banjo and Fiddle - guess which one this is? 😉
