Launch of the Walsingham Way from King’s Lynn to Walsingham. The 29-mile route takes in such delights as the ruins of the Norman Castle Rising Castle and the sublime angel roof at St Mary’s, South Creake. We were also accompanied by Margery Kempe on a short segment of the route

@_F_B_G_ Looks like I do the same as you each year. I’m off on Monday to the Liberec area for some walking - a bit of the Czech St James route, then to Karlovy Vary where I once launched Baileys in the Czech Republic, and then, inevitably, to Praha.

A pilgrimage route is being launched from King’s Lynn Minster to Walsingham (Walsingham Way Part 2) on 6th June. It follows the medieval route Margery Kempe, Hanseatic traders, pilgrims, kings & queens would have taken. Walking is good for you: solvitur ambulando!

@Theosthinktank @theosnick It’s a big debate. Happy to speak to you about nationalism from my experience researching East European nationalism (DPhil) a few years ago. Canon Mark Dimond (King’s Lynn Minister)

@_F_B_G_ I like the name Czechoslovakia. And you can write a novel about it: I already have (except it was called A Moravian Rhapsody!) Ever since Panenka scored that penalty in 1976 I’ve been rather intrigued by the whole place.

@_F_B_G_ @PolishPalace How funny. I studied Czech for four years, lived in CR for two years (1994-96) and return every year! Revd Mark D

Book launch of Paul Dimond Snr’s ‘The Book Cover’ at Batsford Books, London: a celebration of mainly 20th-century Batsford book covers on a wide range of themes from cathedral architecture to the world’s alphabets, from Gertrude Stein’s wartime memoirs to Cecil Beaton’s scrapbook

Up a mountain or two in beautiful eastern Moravia (Wallachia): at ‘three crosses’ monument on the Czech-Slovak border, marking the bravery of a WW2 resistance fighter; and then a delightful hill climb up to Svatý Hostýn, a Czech pilgrimage destination

@AnneEBailey1 One delightful thing I’ve done was the Hamburg urban pilgrimage routes. Here is the sign outside St Jacobi’s Church, Hamburg

@GregHands @UKinCR @CzechLondon @CzechMFA @VisitCZ @MattFieldUK Sokol played a vital part in the Czech resistance in WW2.

@DioceseinEurope Yes - praying for you all. A privilege to be living/worshipping there in 2019-2021!

King’s Lynn Minster wishes the town, the Borough of West Norfolk and those beyond a Peaceful Christmas. Special extra large ‘Herrnhuter’ star up. Considerable number of families attended our two consecutive Christingle services. @DioceseNorwich @churchofengland
