Yesterday's walk involved deer sightings and the eerie sound of the roaring of rutting stags - and also the summit of Angletarn Pike, our 112th (post-surgery) Wainwright

Open justice is supposed to enhance public trust + confidence in the justice system - but in this case it had the opposite effect.

What does the Supreme Court need to do differently to make sure COP observers have a better experience next time?

When open justice undermines public confidence: Scrutinising the Supreme Court

Justice is not a cloistered virtue; she must be allowed to suffer the scrutiny and respectful, even though outspoken, comments of ordinary men

Grasmere Dialect Plays @grasdialectplays.bsky.social · 6d

Given current watery conditions here in Cumbria, I'm enjoying Hardwicke Rawnsley's account of the Keswick floods of 25 Oct 1888: '...when it siles down reet gaily, every road becomes a sike, and every sike a beck, and every beck a river'. Apparently the sexton of Crosthwaite church was undeterred:

Extract from 'A North-Country Flood', in H.D. Rawnsley's 1902 book, 'A Rambler's Notebook at the English Lakes', page 115. The sexton of Crosthwaite Church tells how he got to the church, despite the floods, by walking along the railway embankment. (He speaks in Cumbrian dialect.)
