In the following post, I have returned to the story of Polly Maya's - a young girl tragically murdered by the people who should have loved her. Polly means an awful lot to me, so it's a privilege to share her story.

I am so proud to have my article 'Omens of Death and Funeral Superstitions in Shropshire' feature alongside such wonderful writers. I've bought my copy! 💚🦇👻

Over the last few days, imposter syndrome has been massively kicking in, but I'm trying to make my brain a kind place, and remember how far I've come ✨️

⚠️Today Shropshire Council will decide whether the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road is given the go-ahead.

🛣️The scheme will have huge impacts on nature, with nine #VeteranTrees to be lost, 37 more to be harmed and #AncientWoodland subject to damage.

This was such a wonderful experience! Thank you 💚

My latest post discusses the remarkable Nanny Morgan, whose legacy has been marred by #Folklore . She deserves to be remembered as a person rather than a witch. I've completely rewritten this article to reflect new research.
