We visited the Museum of English Rural Life during our trip to the UK in June. The MERL and staff were even more delightful than their social media posts.
Come for the big animals. Stay for the history of rural England and its people.

The first full episode of Absolute Units, the official MERL podcast, is here!!!

The church I grew up in didn’t celebrate Advent. I am so excited to go to church this morning to celebrate, reflect, and worship on this first Sunday of Advent.
