The white daff bulbs that Frances just planted were quite big bulbs. How is the depth measured? Does the tip or the basal plate go 3x down? Thank you. #GardenersWorld
Better than this? Actually being there to witness it: 7.30 am Matins and 7.50 am HC Mon-Fri, 8.00 am Matins on Saturdays and 8.00 am HC on Sundays. All welcome; come and be part of something very special and usually supremely peaceful.
RIP to #BrianPatten ; a shock to discover this news yesterday but pleased to see an excellent, full-page obit @thetimes A romantic realist, many of his apparently syrupy poems had a sting in the tail. Here are a few favourites.

Hello, my name is Bishop Sarah Mullally.
I'm deeply honoured to have been called to serve as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury.

Thank you @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3. We’re enjoying today’s coverage of @railway200 from our York garden, the chimes of @York_Minster melding with steam locos’ whistles. Here’s one we saw earlier, heading north.

I'm sick of @AngelaRayner being hailed patronisingly by champagne socialists as a token female working class role model. And now as an innocent victim of prejudice.
I spent 35 years on the BBC working to prove that being a northern woman doesn't mean you are uneducated or thick. And then along came Ange with her lack of education, 22 letter alphabet and a teen pregnancy.
@fifiglover Hilarious: have just boarded the North Berwick train at Edinburgh and it’s pretty much a day-trippers’ train for c.87,000 middle aged women all coming to see you and @JaneGarvey1; the chit-chat volume is off the scale!
@fringebythesea2 A collective, excited ‘Woooo…’ as the train pulled out just now and the chat is getting louder; reminiscent of the noisy gannets on #BassRock. Hope you’ve organised a protection squad for Jane and @fifiglover when we all descend 🤦♀️🤣
Delighted to see a flag flying on #York_Minster ; this one marks #YorkshireDay, in fact a weekend of celebrations this yr . A great step but 🤞🙏 we can fly the St George Cross more often, as a gospel tool on feast days. @HFDCathedral you are reliably good at this! Thank you 👏
The light of Christ: when the flower arrangement is done but Jesus thinks differently and sends a sunbeam through the stunning blue stained glass of #YorkMinster
Having a summer #springclean and wondering what the lead time is on these #Christmastree decorations #CNC #ArchbishopofCanterbury #allingoodtime #inGodstime
#Yorkshiredrought missing @YorkMinster this morning for #HolyCommunion @churchofengland #generalsynod Lusty singing & a stretching sermon but especially good to say the creed as a crowd. #onebodyinchrist #moreincommon
A rather natty pink shield bug on verbascum olympicum in my Yorkshire garden @Buzz_dont_tweet @YWT_North
Excellent customer care and creative thinking by @tfwrail and @TPExpressTrains last night, to get my sons away from #Liverpool and heading home. Helpful staff quietly getting on with being brilliant; much appreciated amidst the terrible situation. 👏
A fascinating trip to @PerennialGRBS @YorkGateGarden ; it’s been on the list for years and now a revisit is planned! So much to delight, surprise and intrigue. #gardens #yorkshire #Leeds
Kim Murray was a brilliant interviewee just now on @The_RHS @TheRHSChelsea @GWandShows Evidently a natural in front of the camera, being relaxed, articulate and well informed; she needs her own gardening slot!
A family souvenir from the #Eclipse of 1912; wonder whether the @Selfridges roof garden is as busy today?
Prufrock according to @gilescoren in today’s @thetimes ‘In the room the women come and go, slurping on their Frappuccino…’. Genius!

With the paywall down, I thought I’d reshare this one from last week about Ash Wednesday and my unexpected midlife enthusiasm for churchgoing…

This seemed to be getting a lot of hype on the socials and because I’m contrary and difficult, I didn’t expect to like it. But, I LOVED it. Now, whose parish is @gilescoren going to?
