What the Fran

Knowember 2026

Robert Birming is at it again with a fun blogging challenge, Knowember. I like the idea of updating it each year.

Watercolour painting of me stargazing

My sister made this for my birthday. I love it. She showed it to her kids and asked, "Who's this?" They said, "Auntie Fran." She asked, "How did you know?" They said, "The hair." A trademark apparently.

Name or nickname

Frances, mostly Fran. My wife never calls me anything even remotely resembling my actual name.

Where in the world I blog from

Blogging from the UK, the middle bit. Moved back to the city I grew up in.

Usually I'm blogging from my phone, ideally while outside.

What my blog is mostly about

Erm, mostly about whatever I'm thinking about. What I'm doing, reading, and watching. History, hobbies, creativity, trying new things and doing more stuff. Sharing fun things I've found.
