Some snaps from the day. Such a meaningful morning ✨

I'm so ready for autumn! And everywhere I looked this weekend, Lewes seemed ready too! 😍

Spotted in Trondheim: liturgical Oreos. (Oreo et labora? 😂)
On the shelf of a Norwegian supermarket a box that says "OREO ENROBED" - Oreos covered in chocolate.

Big weekend for us at St Mary's Walthamstow! Loads of volunteers at our gazebo at Waltham Forest Pride shared with 4 other local inclusive churches - and tomorrow our first ever Pride Eucharist. Creating liturgy is my favourite thing, and I was delighted to help put the service together 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌈
A postcard with the LGBTQ plus progress flag on it and the words You Are Wonderfully Made. And the other side of the postcard with the logos of five inclusive churches. Also an Order of Service for an Inclusive Church Eucharist at St Mary's Walthamstow on Sunday 20th July at 6PM. In a tent at Waltham Forest Pride, a large map of the London Borough of Waltham Forest with descriptions of 5 local LGBTQ plus inclusive churches showing their location on the map with rainbow stickers.

We just had Red Arrows flying over and scaring me to death in the quiet City! And I got these amazing shots of the display 😂

Gorgeous St Mary's 9AM service on Mothering Sunday led by @vanessaconant.bsky.social. Every single person gets flowers, and that is always such a beautiful thing 💐 #InclusiveChurch

Our beautiful morning view in St Ives. Surfers are already out under the huge moon.

Always loved the light in Cheapside. Beautiful day in these old stomping grounds and our even older ones at Barts 💙

The best season is here! #Advent These St Eval candles from St Ives were an investment last year, and I bought them for colour and size, but they smell fantastic. Gaudete pink is rhubarb and the dark purple ones are woody "oak" ✝️ ⚓

I see some photos online!
A description chalked on the sidewalk in Walthamstow, next to the tree it describes, saying Honey Locust Tree highly adaptable A tree growing out of a pavement and in pink chalk, words written in front of it say "London Plane - This tree can cope with anything." These words appeared around Walthamstow during Lockdown.

Haha, pretty sure it will be! Have already grabbed it and found it helpful when processing a loved one's difficult diagnosis: the chapter 'Waiting to Live?' was just what I needed 💙🕯️

Seems like the sky is often white these days, but there are some glorious autumn trees in Walthamstow right now - plus a little Charlie Brown one that gave me comfort at St Bartholomew the Less. Autumn Tree the Less! 🥰

Higher up are a few yellow and more green leaves. A sweet little tree in a pot that's mostly bare but with a few yellow and orange leaves.

The lovely - and sustainable! 💚 - Depot cinema in Lewes is all set to welcome #WOFFF24 tomorrow. Can't wait! So proud to have been involved with the festival for 10 years, and this year will be the best yet!

I think I have several, including St Ives, and definitely Gladstone's Library 📚

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,274,244! But what really made a difference was deleting my Twitter account a few weeks ago and jumping in with both feet. Felt very freeing 🦋

Yum! I love their Lady Macbeth - with vegetarian haggis!

We saw Jodie Comer in Prima Facie tonight - re-release of the the NT Live recording. Absolutely stunning. What a genius she is! I love it when a cinema audience applauds.
