One last blast @Paul_McCreesh - Merry Christmas!

Late winter sun @WallingtonNt

Amongst all the crap, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never overcome it.

I thought that @giles_fraser's thought for the day on Thomas Aquinas was really excellent and well worth a listen. It was reading Aquinas as a first year politics student that was one of the great course corrections that got me to where I am today.

@holland_tom @michael_merrick Debatable....

The morning after the storm before @CarlisleCath

Have loved my Christmastide reading with @RevRichardColes and the (not always so) good people of Champton and the Badsaddles. Would venture a new title: "Death by quiche" where Canon Clement investigates dark deeds during the recruitment process for a Parish where he is patron.

@_F_B_G_ I'm angling for that profession is the Bishop of Norwich makes it to Canterbury.

@cath_cov Must look it up.

First loaves from my new starter "Hildegard von Baking".

@michael_merrick Surely Aachen - with a good dose of Northumberland wisdom from a latter day Alcuin.

"I wonder as I wander" - a sermon for the Second Sunday after Epiphany

A wet January for me.

@CumbriaEnglish @CumbriaUni ...and Walter Scott was married in the Cathedral on Christmas Eve 1797.

@The_Fence_Mag @_F_B_G_ @kf_morris @_F_B_G_ I follow the jurisdiction of Norroy King of Arms and so if it's not HMK's lands north of the Trent and Mersey then it's not "up north".

@liambeadle The inhabitants of the Welsh coalfield has just entered the chat.....

Really excited that Pete will be joining us @CarlisleCath

It really is a wonderful book. Buy it, I'll give you a lift.
