  1. #GhostStory time.

    There was once an old gamekeeper living near here, who saw more than most.

    His two brothers lived in Australia. While awaiting them on a visit, he answered a knock to find his brother Robert, alone.

    "Where's Jack?" the keeper asked, then saw his other brother standing down the road. Whereupon both men vanished.

    Shortly after, Robert arrived alone. Jack was detained on business, and died in Australia before either brother ever saw him again.

  5. A proper wild #Northumbrian day. With the dog walked, it's time to huddle by the fire and maybe share some stories.

  6. The Henhole, deep in the Cheviot Hills. Where waterfalls blow backwards, peregrines fly overhead, and fairy music drifts out of the hills.

    It's said that once a hunting party chased a white hart all the way up the College Valley, only to be entranced by the beauty of the music and disappear forever underground.

  11. No idea how to use this place, and I was never very active on Twitter in the first place.

    But I'm giving it a go as a place to talk about #folklore and #FolkHistory of #Northumberland, as well as #stories and #storytelling, if anyone wants to follow along or join me!

    Other interests and possible posts about #genealogy #LocalHistory #writing #books #RuralLife #sustainability and general #leftist politics. Always learning.

  12. #RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm

    May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

    Hallockville Museum Farm
    6038 Sound Avenue
    Riverhead NY

    Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.

    "Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber – from raw fleece to finished textile — at its historic North Fork campus.

    "A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, #spinning, and #weaving demonstrations, along with a #marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional #FiberArtists and #Artisans.

    "A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized #knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the #PaumanokWeavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat #NeedleFelted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and #BasketWeaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using #NaturalMaterials such as #silk, #seagrass, and #wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.

    "In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s #craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their #FiberArts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.

    " 'The Fleece & Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the #NorthFork,' said Executive Director Heather Johnson. 'It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire #makers today.'

    "The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers."
