Took a long walk up the Oxford canal & utterly delighted to find my first butterbur of the year!🌸🩷
Tolkien used to walk here & Butterbur is the name of the Prancing Pony's innkeeper🌸🐎🌸
I like to think he in turn inspired the drink served in #HarryPotter - Butterbeer 🍻⚡️

'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,
Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks.
Today is St Lucy's Day, which was once the date of the winter solstice - the saint of light in the darkest days of winter. This luminous medieval St Lucy is from Minster Lovell.

CfA is fab. The Liverpool Greek Academy teaches state school kids from Beginners to A level on a Saturday, all for free. Some go on to read Classics, others discover a love for language, archaeology, history. It's transformative. I know; I teach it! Donations doubled to 6th Dec!

Police say a man was taken into custody last night after attempting to steal a goose from a local park but the goose took care of the situation long before officers arrived. When police reached the scene, they found the man sprawled on the ground, shouting for help, while the goose stood over him like a furious security guard: wings spread wide, hissing, and refusing to let him get up. By the time officers separated the two, the bird had already “made the arrest.” One responding officer summed it up perfectly: “Honestly… the goose did our job for us. Get a guard goose i say! 🤣

There's Judith Herrin, Peter Brown, Peter Heather, and Tom Holland; and then there's Alice Roberts, 'an activist with a message'. TLDR: 'Domination is not a very good book'. Tart prose from @TimONeill007

Today is the feast day of the icon of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (Aušros vartai) or Sharp Gate (Ostra Brama), protector of the city of Vilnius. The famous icon is venerated by Catholics, Greek Catholics and Orthodox alike
Dr Francis Young@DrFrancisYoung
Today’s return to Vilnius has been overwhelming. Early this morning I entered the old city by the Gate of Dawn; the city’s last surviving ancient gateway, protected by one of the most venerated miraculous images in Europe

For every polar bear who strikes it rich in soft drink advertising, there are dozens back home in the Arctic living in dilapidated housing.

Berlin will stop training students to become teachers of both Latin and Greek. Because most Classical scholars in Germany start college in the programs for future teachers, becoming academics only as postgrads, the city is indirectly axing Classical scholarship as a whole.
