Some more images cycling along the river
Very slowly, enjoying relaxing environment
Gently through the puddles and mud

Cycling along river
Oasis away from road noise
Hear the bird song
With occasional trains

Jeremiah 4:19 - Lamentation for Judah My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. For I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle.

That’s what I was wondering

It is two days later and I am still laughing at the reading at evensong on monday from Jeremiah which began, in the King James Version: β€œMY BOWELS! MY BOWELS!”

Having family members with IBS it just landed rather differently. #CofEpeeps βš“οΈ

Do many anglicans fast for the 40 days of lent?
Does reluctance to speak about - it being between individual and God - mean don’t support each other?
Solitary rather than communal?
Each individual doing their own thing, relying on their own strength or God’s?

My research indicates that in a increasingly politically polarised online and real-life environments, urban food growing projects have the potential to bridge divides. They can help integrate newcomers to the neighbourhood, providing opportunities for volunteers to talk across spheres of life. πŸ‘‡

Miniature daffodils growing
Little red blossom on young trees
Altar crosses covered for lent

College green
Crocuses in the mud beneath the old trees
Mud where youngsters dud wheelies on their motorbike

This handsome medieval Gothic church was almost converted into a house during the 1980s. Thankfully, we were able to step in and preserve this church for future generations with the help of local supporters.

What’s the situation for homes on stilts or which float, are these insurable?
Guess you saw recently the news article about row of houses in Wales being purchased and demolished due to flood risk
