From this month's (September, out now) Derbyshire Life magazine I'll be contributing a regular monthly feature on local folklore and customs - does this mean I can now legitimately fill in official documents with 'folklorist' as my occupation? #derbyshire #folklore #folklorist

Article for latest (Nov) Derbyshire Life out now. Derbyshire Bonfire Night traditions: rhymes, Thor Cake, Penny For the Guy + Find out in which village the quarry workers gave the boys gunpowder to lay along the main street and ignite to make things go with a bang #derbyshire

Latest article for Derbyshire Life on Mappleton New Year Bridge Jump tradition... incredible to think these photos used to illustrate were taken a year and a day ago, everyone present so innocent of what was soon coming our way #derbyshire #mappletonbridgejump #mapletonbridgejump
My article for February's Derbyshire Life covers a very well known custom, Ashbourne Shrovetide Football - it's not happening this year for obvious reasons, which is HUGE (even World War 2 couldn't put a stop to it...)

My latest folklore article for the August edition of Derbyshire Life (out now) is about the annual Plague Commemoration held on the last Sunday every August to remember the outbreak if the deadly disease in the village in 1665-6. It's on again this year, today at 3pm. #eyam
My latest article for October's Derbyshire Life covers Ilkeston's Charter Fair - with references to The Goodies and Kenny Everett shoehorned in. Unlike the Goose Fair, it's back on in 2021: Wednesday 20th - Saturday 23rd. #ilkeston #ilson #ilkestoncharterfair
My latest article for November's Derbyshire Life magazine, out now. It concerns folklore and legends surrounding specific Derbyshire trees. #folklore #derbyshire #folklorethursday #trees #treelegends #treelore #plantlore
