Lots of twittering tonight about a superb owl. We always think Ravens are the best bird.

Today is St Agnes' Eve, when unmarried girls can call up visions of their future husbands.

Anyone got any sprigs of rosemary? https://t.co/rnDjpfM7Ig

Old rhymes for love-divination on St Agnes' Eve (20 January). Sounds like the girls of Northumberland were made of tough stuff!

Happy St Lucy's day, a young woman so strong in her own beliefs she couldn't be dragged away even by a team of oxen. https://t.co/jfy6hcEvxk

'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,
Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks.'

St Lucy, saint of light, in a tiny fragment of medieval glass from Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire:

@EpsomCMusic Rumour has it that the staff barbershop quartet are this year's hot act, 'worth the £2 ticket', some even say. Can you confirm?

The @EpsomCLibrary ladies are on tour with a literary lucky dip.

It's beginning to look a lot, and by that I mean a *lot* like Christmas in Raven

Happy Catterns Day! https://t.co/ikPuM6twyU

St Catherine and her wheel, in 14th-century glass from Christ Church, Oxford. Today is her feast, once known as 'Catterns Day'.

She was a very popular saint, patron of young women and anyone who works with books or wheels: philosophers, librarians, students, wheelwrights...

Top girls! 1st and 2nd for Raven girls in the @EpsomCollegeUK house cross country! Congratulations Megan and Emily

More evidence that reading should be a part of life, every day, not just a way of killing time on the beach. https://t.co/bYfONibnJW

[Raven House @EpsomC_Raven]

Fascinating talk by @TBubbearFCO for the @EpsomCollegeUK Lord Rosebery lecture. Amazing insights into her career, challenges & helping women rise to the top of the @FCO

ALL MEN! Just a little reminder to smile today, because women like positive men.

[Raven House @EpsomC_Raven]

Great advice on #InternationalMensDay from @manwhohasitall - reassuring anxious chaps the world over https://t.co/bc7p1wHDqF

ALL MEN! Did you know that folding towels burns 79 calories per hour? This means you can reward yourself with 1 almond and half a cherry tomato.

Never skip the coffee before a concert. We're sure @EpsomCMusic has never nodded off during the quiet bits! https://t.co/HdjbrBmMDr
