My tale is the leg end of the kitchen chair. Are you sitting comfortably? I'm not, and a trusty carpenter is booked to contemplate leg ends and how he might refashion them. Northern legends, tales from Cumbria. My cousin, one of my many cousins, asked a child what library book she was reading. 'Northern leg ends Miss.'
The tale of the chair fuses with last night's Front Row review of Neil Gaiman's The Norse Mythology which I'm about to read. Like him, I've long loved Kevin Crossley-Holland's The Norse Myths and now Marvel with Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Instead of showing a kitchen chair perhaps I should be offering a raven to illustrate, or the wood at Eskrigg where we watched squirrels in November, squirrels too nifty to be photographed. Elusive as Ratatosk, the squirrel of Viking myth.

Raven to illustrate my Northern Legends. I name this raven Hugin, for Odin's ravens.
