The trip to Taizé with the @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social is very much underway! We are hoping to arrive at around 7am to set up camp for the week. I fear I might have overdone it with the rainbow cake on the coach!!

Lovely to be at the licensing of The Revd Lucy Dallas as our new DDO this evening! Sparkles in the sun of the Bishop’s Garden afterwards was rather fabulous too!!

Dawn is a little brighter, birdsong a little louder...The countdown to spring has begun, and nature knows it!
Birds are defending territories, scouting nest sites, and thinking about pairing up...
Have you noticed any shifts in activity?

I am looking forward to preaching on this tomorrow in East Harling whilst looking at this window! What a privilege!
The Miracle at Cana in 15th Century glass at East Harling, Norfolk. The wine has run out at the wedding. Mary, lower right, tells the servant to follow Christ's instructions. He sits upper right, his hand raised to turn the water being poured into the jars into wine. 1/2

Plough Monday, which falls today, always puts me in mind of my great-uncle Bill Cooper, who worked with heavy horses on Cole Ambrose's farm at Stuntney, Cambridgeshire. Here he is in the 1930s, and he continued to work with the horses until well into the 1960s.

I love the old countryside services. Today’s Plough Sunday service was at Larling. Prayers for the agricultural community as we start the new year.

I am making the transition from X/Twitter to Bluesky - For those who don’t know me, I am currently serving my title in the Harling and Guiltcross Benefice in South Breckland. As a family we also farm sheep and occasionally pigs - so agriculture and rural life are a huge passion of mine!
