My column in this month's @HistoryToday is about the old custom of giving books or poems as a New Year present. Gifts at New Year were thought to bring luck in the year ahead - we should bring back the tradition of starting the year with a new book! historytoday.com/archive/out…

The long night of St Lucy's Day was proverbial: 'Lucy light, shortest day and longest night'. John Donne writes of imagining death:
'Think that they bury thee, and think that rite
Lays thee to sleep but a St Lucy's night.'
(St Lucy in a 14th-century Psalter, BL Add. 24686)

The puffin count results are in from the Farne Islands and numbers are up by 15%, with the population declared as ‘stable’.
It’s the first full survey conducted since 2019, due to restrictions as a result of Covid and bird flu.

24 August is the feast of St Bartholomew, 'Bartleby's Day'. As a late-summer holiday, it's historically been the time for some interesting calendar customs: honey-blessing, 'Bartlefairs', wayzgoose feasts, the Sandwich Bartlemas Bun Run... aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/…
