During autumn, winter & spring we run “Friendship Lunches”, offering great company & great food. It's open to everyone- most who come aren’t from St L’s. Today we welcomed about 30 people. The next Lunch is on the 8th Mar (last 'til autumn). Get in touch if you’d like to join us!

Proud to have provided the score for this, and to talk about St Cedd's legacy to Essex

Mersea Island hits the big screen! 🎬 This captivating new film beautifully portrays all the heritage, traditions, and hard work associated with our world-famous oysters. 🦪✨

I'll be at this event in Colchester, at The Minories on Saturday. Great film. I wrote the theme song for it and Matt Simpkins did the score. I will also be reading a poem. The Last Ferry.

New non-church church language emerging for things

[Madeleine Davies @MadsDavies]

Had a look at a v interesting report analysing ‘new things’ across 11 dioceses. The omission of the word ‘church’ is deliberate as none of the 11 used this designation. A ‘new ecclesial language’ has emerged ‘very quickly’ it says, raising important Qs https://t.co/IUAlBxIgVD

Great to be back at Lexden Primary for the first time in ages, & to listen to a wonderful performance by pupils from a local high school, taught by their Head of Music, a certain Mr Hawkins who I taught from Grade 1 up until he went to study at Uni. It's a privilege to feel old!

The England fans have found a German copper who looks like Southgate 😂👌

A privilege to vote and then head across town to cast a proxy vote on behalf of a dear friend.

The time that Denis Healey was interviewed by Zig and Zag on the Big Breakfast 🍳 🥞

We're calling for corridor care to be eradicated in our general election manifesto and we'll hold the UK government to account to make sure that happens.

If you see it happening at your workplace, call it out. No ifs, no buts. Find support on our website: https://t.co/geA7hKq8xs

Last night's @C4Dispatches must mark a turning point for our NHS.

Patients are suffering & nursing staff are overwhelmed in a system starved of the support it needs.

Politicians need to wake up. Vague promises & low investment will not turn our treasured health service around.

[Stewart Wood @StewartWood]

The quiet privatisation of care for the most vulnerable children; taking them far away from families & friends to save money & make profits; the growth in unregulated placements by cash-starved councils - this is the shame the Conservatives are leaving us. https://t.co/VrSacOE0ML
