I shall be leaving X in a couple of days. If I am only in contact with you on this platform I hope we may find another place to communicate with each other

Retired nearly 3 weeks now - attended online the ordination of a friend as priest in Dubai and then a beautiful walk on Exmoor - what a day!

I can’t remember how many swallows make a spring, but I saw 3 on my early morning walk in glorious sunshine

Guess who’s back? 🦩 Our beautiful feathered friends are back in Cyprus for winter. 🌞 Thank you for helping keep our wildlife safe by not stepping into the salt lake or flying a drone above it. 🌿🦆 #visitcyprus #lovecyprus #larnaka #larnakasaltlake 📷 IG kos_anton_photography

The seasonal clown snowmen arrived yesterday on street corners. Not sure how they will fare in our continuing warm weather. Contextualisation is fascinating!

@BirnieLinzi My grandfather taught us to love cheese, lettuce and honey sandwiches

I went for cheese instead of pudding. Along with local honey. Cheese & honey is a new discovery for me.

Glass of Ricard before dinner means I’m officially on #Holiday.

@MichaelSadgrove Absolutely agree. It’s excellent!

Just finished this marvellous biography. #JohnDonne would have loved it. I did. Sell your shirt to buy it. #KatherineRundell

@rachywakey That is tremendous news! Many congratulations.

@nicthevic Tough luck. This morning I tested negative at the end of my second. Hope symptoms are not too bad

After all this time it’s finally caught up with me!

@Premrajdc So good to see your names from years ago when we studied together at Heythrop and you visited my parish. All good wishes to you both

@MichaelSadgrove Drinking gin and stoic?

At a #Christmas party last night, I’m asked what I think about Spinoza’s Ethics.

@Sarahmchaden A simple joy every 6 years!

Team- I am loving Christmas day being a Sunday

Archbishop Frederick Temple was appalled to hear a terrible sermon. Afterwards, the preacher said, "Your Grace, I took a vow that I would always speak without notes." Temple replied, "We Frederick James, by divine permission , Lord Archbishop of Ca, do absolve you from that vow."

That was before - just conducted my first wedding outside, trying to speak over the sound of gentle waves. Prayers for the bride and groom.

Christmas is looking a little understated in Ayia Napa

Today in my Advent Calendar I got a chocolate penguin. Don't remember penguins being part of the Nativity Story? #bemused

@PhilipSourbut @StagecoachSW Hope you made it home all right!

Some recovery time after surgery has been enlivened by reading 2 excellent books. The View from the Centre by Keith Eyeons and Wake by Anna Hope.

So my hernia op today has coincided with a truss ‘event’.

@revhannaha I had to do that for our son too! I write that the whole family came, but rarely sat together.

Have had to leave doing Son 1’s secondary application form for the night because I’ve realised need to fill out a supplementary form and get it signed by a member of Anglican clergy to say I go to Church.
