A thoroughly enjoyable day! Good turnout, well organised, great content. Encouraging to see the commitment of @SouthwarkCofE local church to the existential challenge of our time. @ARochaUK @Andy2Atkins

[Martin Gainsborough @MartinGainsbor1]

Very good to make the acquaintance tonight of @Kew_LAA and @saintanneskew for an excellent lecture and I hope a developing partnership between church and gardens. @giles_fraser @SouthwarkCofE

Just been to see the #DungeonsAndDragonsMovie    with the kids. Fun to see @WellsCathedral1 acting as a stand in castle interior. @BristolCathedra would have been a much better choice @ParamountUK, but it's nice to let our neighbours get a bit of the action now and again.

Apologies to donkeys and GKC:
‘There was a SHOUT about my ears…….’ Don’t rely on memory!

‘….for I also had my hour,
One far fierce hour and sweet.
There was a crowd about my ears
And palms beneath my feet.’ GKChesterton, ‘The Donkey’

Breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you, @Bristol_Beacon.

Thank you. I felt the warmth of your welcome and am listening again to the beautiful Brahms anthem sung during Communion. ‘Why take thought for the morrow? The one who gives thee what is thine watches over all’. Prayers for the days ahead! @SouthwarkCofE

The backdrop to my youth, and still a common view throughout Durham and Tyneside and up to the teashop-and-sheep bits of Northumberland; not to mention South Wales and the dozens of other places where, like warriors, manual-workers wrested our comforts from the grudging earth.
