Inspired by The Dream of The Rood and @ClerkofOxford with the children @ChristChBath this Good Friday. We had some wonderful dramatic recitations of sections of the poem as well as decorating our own crosses, golden on one side and dark on the other #GoodFriday2024
ALT Two small wooden crosses each side decorated differently. One golden with jewels, the other black. The background is a flower bed with green foliage and blue flowers.
Just fantastic to be at a live @bellowheaduk gig again. Brilliant musicianship. And So. Much. Fun.

When you’ve nailed the solo in A Spotless Rose and you take a moment before you go back to the choir stalls teapawt.net/Conorpope/status/15845…
Lord our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers upon earth; most heartily we beseech thee with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth.

Extraordinary evening at @RobGMacfarlane and @JohnnyFlynnHQ 's "Lost in the Cedar Wood" this evening. Not sure what it was. "Gig" isn't right. Not a "concert" or "recital". "Readings and Music" feels too cumbersome for something that was so coherent.
This show based on @neilhimself ‘s book is absolutely brilliant. Brilliantly staged, funny, and deeply, deeply moving. It’s only on until 14th May. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend you see it.
Hi @VeygoUK - is you website / app broken at the moment? We’ve used you before. Trying to take out temp insurance for my son. The website doesn’t want to accept any input into the postcode field and the app won’t let us log in at all. Are you aware of a problem?
“We’re having people round - what shall we have for pudding?” About 7 times out of 10 my answer is @Nigella_Lawson’s Lemon Meringue Cake. Looks *fab* and tastes even better!

The world could do with some of Terry's wisdom right now.

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.
