They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

🌧️Blue Monday is often dubbed the ‘saddest' day of the year, but it's a marketing myth!

Even if it’s not real, it’s a good reminder to check-in with yourself, and do something to help boost your mood.

Stunning day out in the #YorkshireDales. Want to avoid the crowds of the Three Peaks? Stay on the train to Dent and walk to Great Knoughtberry Hill. Views are just as good and think I saw 2 people all day! #UkHiking #GetOutside #Settle #Ribblehead

My lovely publishers have produced some festively fancy book poses. They give me a chance to thank everyone who’s supported the novel so far, and made a big leap into the unknown worthwhile.

The FEAST of SAINT NICHOLAS: December 6th
My name, Santa Claus, is derived from the Dutch expression for St Nicholas: Sinterklaas, Protector of Children.
I'm a bishop & monk, as St Nicholas was many centuries ago, & an advocate for vulnerable children.
Wishing you a Blessed Feast of St Nicholas Day!
