Some photos from today's daily walk and I spotted my first Green Veined White of the year :)

So, so many... Running and falling into a pavement and breaking my top front teeth (at age 11) has to be fairly high up there. I also have scars from falling out of a tree (at age 22), trying to open an empty bottle of shower gel to rinse it for recycling, and climbing out of a lake after swimming.

14,000 babies will die in Gaza in the next 48 hours if Israel continues to prevent baby food aid from reaching Palestinians. There is no question, no nuance, no possible justification. We must do everything we possibly can to stop Israel from committing such atrocities #r4today

The nave at Hulne Priory, Northumberland. Not sure why it's known as a priory as it was a Carmelite friary, founded in 1240. We were surrounded by martins and swifts, some nesting in crevices in the wall around the buildings.

“The new guidance is shocking. Women in these circumstances have a right to compassionate care and to have their dignity and privacy respected, not to have their homes, phones, ­computers and health apps searched, or be arrested and interrogated” observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I'm (once again) pining horribly for the rugged splendour of #Eryri. Roll on July's visit! ⛰️ (Photos from last June's hike up Y Garn, in the Glyderau)

13th May is Marking Day, traditionally the day when the cows are released back onto Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons to graze for the summer - and that means my beloved Highland coos are back at Minch! Looking forward to visiting them again soon.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

A fellow ordinand is looking for somewhere to do a summer placement - ideally looking to get experience of inclusive evangelical church in south west London. Does anyone have any suggestion? ✝️

Walaa who used to be on here all the time messaged me to let me know she gives birth next week and could use help with supplies and food www.gofundme.com/f/help-ghazi...

"Jesus says to each one of us ‘Peace be with you!’ and in coming to us sends us out to be light, to share that Peace. It is this that makes us Easter people, people of hope, hope not made of easy answers, hope that knows the reality of darkness and death and the power of the Resurrection."

Shhhh nobody’s looking it’s Sunday afternoon. What was the baby name you wanted to use but it was just a little TOO much? Ours was Lysander like in Midsummer Nights Dream for a boy. It’s so beautiful!! But it was just too out there. (Mind you, I named my daughter Winifred, but still)

I love fern season. 🌿
