I love the insides of built-in cupboards - we found some scraps of glorious 1920s wallpaper once. In these ones: subtle ghosts of many layers, and garish traces of previous owner's sloppy paint job over hideous bobbled paper. Eek! #DistanceDrift

2/ As ever, walk indoors or outdoors; take today's prompt in any way that suits you. Share finds as you #DistanceDrift or at the end. Ready? Let's tune into those ghost objects and track down their traces.

1/ Morning! Today's #DistanceDrift is a ghost hunt - with a difference. Rather than spooks, we're seeking traces of the physical: vestiges, remnants, the left-behind; ghost signs, ethereal leavings of objects, marks of the no-longer visible...

Who's up for a #DistanceDrift tomorrow at 10am? I'll be joining in from my ongoing Covid isolation (bah) - but hey, that's where we started from nearly two years ago!

World, if you're planning on sending me a rejection letter or other unwelcome news, please could you wait until I'm on the other side of this dose of Covid? Thanks.

Thanks for your company today and safe onward travels into the Year of the Tiger. See you next Sunday for another #DistanceDrift - here's a lucky, if not big, cat wave farewell for now.

Just remembered the bag of blankets stored in here for chilly evenings. Look who's hiding in here! #DistanceDrift

Taking tea out to shed for a change of scene and fresh air. Muddy paw prints on stripy rug, orange fur and patterned wood walls - have I found the tiger's lair? #DistanceDrift

That was quick! Little tiger at the back door, with leonine neighbour trying his luck too. #DistanceDrift

Alas, no tiger feet - these leopard print slippers will have to do. There's certainly evidence of big cats in the house - but where is the tiger? #DistanceDrift

Isolating, so my tiger trail can't cover extended territory. But already spotted a tiger tail scarf by the watering hole (bowl). #DistanceDrift

1/ Grrr! Morning folks. Today's #DistanceDrift is a gentle welcoming in of Chinese New Year. As you wander, indoors or out, seek signs of the Tiger: forms, colours, patterns, text & any resonances you happen upon. Any tigers lurking near you? Share finds as you go or at the end.

Hyperlocal walk in the village - actually treading in the footsteps of for - she walked this way past this very honesty box stall in ‘Heavy Time’ :) #gteConf22

It's a beautiful day, wide blue skies, perfect for a big walk, and I'm going to have to look at it through an open window. Yes, I've joined the inmates of plague house, dammit.

Reviewing a book is a great way of summarizing what you've read but also is good practice for researchers, and is a good skill for anyone interested in going into the book publishing industry - AND THERE'S A PRIZE #Reading

A couple of late entry #DistanceDrift images from my folks walking in Cambridgeshire this morning. I particularly appreciate the cushy fish - not hooked, just hanging out.

3/ Time to wind down our Easy #DistanceDrift and enjoy posts over a Sunday morning coffee. Thanks for joining in. We'll pick up the pace again next week. Until then, safe onwards wanders all. May the road rise to meet you - at a suitably subtle gradient!
