Retired rural priest. Lover of my wife, Jesus, classical music, cricket, MCFC and fine wine, strictly in that order! That's what she says.
So very pleased to have snapped up this gorgeous painting of the Jurassic coast. Richard Corbett has captured the magic of Golden Cap in soft sunlight superbly.

So many good Lent reading options out there, but I'm going with the excellent and challenging Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, whose weekly sermons and blogs are so inspiring and profound.

Shocking and disrespectful playground bullying just brought the global order crashing down. America, this weak man is not a colossus, he's just wanting to run a protection racket. It makes America look so bad, grovelling to Putin. #ImWithUkraine

I've fought shy for over 45 years of Deryck Cooke's completion of the 10th. Today I took the plunge and have been rewarded richly with a moving, life-enhancing sense of Mahler's spirit and artistic soul, a sublime creation that Alma approved and found to be full of her husband. Deo gratias, such joy

An endlessly fascinating account of Rachmaninoff's agonies at being separated from his beloved Russia from the age of 44 until his death at nearly 70.

Today's task: dismantling all the Christmas decorations (except for the crib, of course). It was a good time, but now it's time to look forward.

Good to the local surgery has its crib in place with no babe in evidence. Although the wise men seem to have been on the express camels.

What a joy to read these scripts of Sir JB's final radio talks. Full of wisdom, love of beauty and tradition, and not a little poignant humour.
