Goodnight from the woods of #Kalkkinen where the birch leaves tremble at winter’s approach and the ghosts of Russian soldiers argue at the crossroads. The birches are too young to remember the child gathering firewood in the first snow of winter, but the old pines still sigh his name… #Paavo_Jukola

Goodnight from the drowned valley of #Stackpole where the water knows not all are fish who swim and the summer laughter of the lilies passes silently on the wind. #Creative_Havens #Water_Faeries #Jennie_Greenteeth

Apparently, a student tried to smuggle out a fourteenth century facsimile of Oswick’s Malefica. It escaped and was recaptured halfway down Brasenose [when] it was pacified by a passing nun. She claims it was calmed by the love of God but everyone who saw her suspects she’s a virgin. #Hans_Frum

Goodnight from Portree where the hopes and dreams of those who took ship for foreign lands still salt the western winds and at slack tide the ghosts of those who perished at sea huddle by the icehouse on the quay and sing their regrets. #Highland_Clearances #Ghost #Hauntology

Petitioners convened on Arthur’s Seat this afternoon to pray for the safe return of writer and scholar #Nevil_Warbrook, best-known for his restoration of MacGregor’s #This_Iron_Race. Controversially, the sacrifice of a ram was abandoned and a libation of honey, milk, barley and wine offered instead.
