Hard to believe, but this week marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of God and the Gay Christian. It's been quite the journey so far, and I'm very grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way! #ThrowbackThursday

It can be found by the Chapter House in Westminster Abbey. Dendrochronology revealed that the wood was felled nearly 1000 years ago in 1032. The tree it was taken from could have been growing when London was still under Roman rule.

Oh goodness that is awfully sad news about lovely, lovely Una Stubbs. I was lucky enough to interview her and we had dinner a couple of times after that. She was so sweet, gentle and lovable. Here I am all huge next to her delicate little charming self.

In 1944 Orwell wrote few Britons “are afraid to utter their political opinions in public, and there are not even very many who want to silence the opinions of others”.
In his new book @andrewdoyle_com notes that this sentence could not be written with any confidence today.
