A stroll around #Bosham on a sunny winter afternoon. I grew up visiting here a lot, and it is from this church I got my middle name ‘Edward’. Bosham church is depicted in the opening of the Bayeux Tapestry, and involved Edward the Confessor. Due to the village location, high flood tides are common.

My annual New Year build for last year was Concorde. A limited edition Lego set to mark the 20th anniversary year of the final flight. This year I’m embarking on building #notre-dame cathedral, another limited edition set, to mark the reopening of the cathedral this month after the 2019 fire.

A spot on Silchester Road in St Leonards on Sea while I was on my way to ring my 500th performance on Saturday, at Christ Church located next door. A brief read into Elsie’s life reveals a fascinating woman who led an extraordinary life!

I can’t believe it’s taken me 2 days to notice I wrote “site” instead of “sight”. I am evidently very pour at spelling.

While visiting @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social for a quarter peal earlier this month, we were greeted by the fabulous site of Luke Jerram’s #gaia. A wonderful site to see.
