Switched it up and went for rooibos and white chocolate shortbreads and they're lush.

I wonder if white chocolate chips and earl grey tea would pair well in shortbread...

@si_rubinstein @AdamPollock Eadred was pretty bad.

@AdamPollock The Unready?! He was the one unambiguous Bad King. Unsurpassed till maybe Rufus or John.

This Athelstan business is starting to get a bit silly.

Suicide is never the right thing to do. Whether people are terminally ill or suffering from depression, humanity can and should always do more to help people live their lives in comfort and happiness. People need love, care, and support, not death.

sometimes, if you are lucky, there will be a tree outside your bedroom window, it’s important that you romanticise that tree as much as possible.

@DunnsDee The thing is darling some people disagree.

@claydon_calder Which college are you going to be joining for your Masters?

I tnink the coat of arms of St. Hugh's College, followed by Magdalen, and then Keble might be the top three... willing to have my mind changed.

@DunnsDee Stay alive pls and thx

@PseudoJonathan @si_rubinstein @ChountisFabbri Pics or it didn't happen

@si_rubinstein @ChountisFabbri I did once

Simple Parisian delights. Springtime.

@GuyStagg Absolutely gorgeous and utterly cavernous church building!

St Cuthbert's in Earl's Court has an astonishingly ornate carved wooden reredos. Impossible to convey in an image. Made me realise Anglo-Catholicism was not just a romantic response to industrialism, but also an attempt to win back working classes from the non-conforming churches

I've many notions of what heaven and the new creation may be like, probably all incorrect and inadequate, but I think being there will feel a little like waking up to blue sky every single day

Exclusively listening to Tide Lines and Skippinish for the next 5 days.

@cusackandrew And both would be slightly correct.

(Protestants would say 'tempered by'; Catholics 'deeply malformed by'.)

Rubinstein (as always) is wrong. America is a country built on Protestantism. Britain is a country built on Catholicism, deeply reshaped by Protestantism.
