Just finished the excellent CHURCH GOING by Andrew Ziminski @old-church-going.bsky.social. Structured as a complete church tour from lychgate to crypt, with insights only a seasoned conservator could give. Many splendid passages capturing both the beautiful and the numinous. A fantastic book.

Happy Shrove Tuesday! 🥞
Our Probationer Choristers are ready to flip pancakes as we enjoy the last day before Lent begins. Today is all about indulging before the season of fasting and reflection starts tomorrow with Ash Wednesday.
Enjoy your pancakes!
I strongly urge all readers to subscribe to Alan Jenkins and Dec Ryan’s FREE BLOODY BIRDS, the common-sensed and sexy journal of poetry and criticism we’ve been waiting for. I’m in the first issue with an essay on Peter Reading, one of my favorite poets. www.freebloodybirds.com/issue-one/sl...

Massive English oak on the village green next to the pub and church
The Royal Oak - Meavy, Devon
A 900 year old tree that is sadly in terminal decline
Whilst the bench is facing the wrong way 🙄 it faces the Royal Oak Inn that is yards from the tree it’s named after
People have admired the tree for six hundred years whilst enjoying a pint
Lovely to read poetry at the opening evening for ALL THAT COULD BE LOST - a community photography exhibition capturing the wildlife of Blean, an area now proposed for housing.
