My 94-year-old grandmother has kept a list of every book she ever read since she was 14 years old. Amazing archive of one person’s mind over nearly a century

Just finished Undoctored by Adam Kay Having read This Is Going To Hurt at least 4 times I expected great things. It did not disappoint. However it’s also left me somewhat speechless and wanting to cry. Again.

Can we make watching this daily compulsory?

Act 1 was exquisite. The costumes, choreography and set is all fantastic. Loving it here in Orkney. Up there as one of the best ever. #ROHcinderella

When my dog dies who is going to stare at me incessantly while I’m eating?

My daughter went to Soul 61 at just 18. To see her so devastated now at the news of Mike Pilavachi, the radio silence from the wider church & the attempt at controlling the narrative and shutting down voices is deeply upsetting ‘Thoughts with those who came forward’ does nothing.

Sarah Kennedy Norquoy As a member of our church's PCC - within the same diocese who are supposed to be investigating this - I've had to do several safeguarding courses; they put pressure on us to be able to recognise what might be happening within our congregations, but failed to notice themselves?

Individuals who have reported to the Soul Survivor investigation about their experiences with Mike Pilavachi have written an open letter to UK evangelical leaders. I hope you are taking note Nicky Gumbel, Follow @ArchbishopSarah and the rest of you who are currently silent.

When allegations are made against popular leaders, often we just don't want to believe it's true. But we need to confront the reality that abuse can and does happen in our own communities, and abuse of power is possible even by leaders that we admire: restored-uk.org/about/blog/why…

It is a thing here in Orkney for land owners to plant daffodils on the road verges. #orkney #orkneylife #islandlife #kirkwall #countryside #wildlife #visitorkney #loveorkney #lovekirkwall #lovick #northernlace #knittinglife #dogwalking #amdesigning #Shapinsay #daffs

A worthwhile read as a thread. I’m so proud I made her

Late last night, we visited the Ring of Brodgar with Scottish Ballet to celebrate the summer solstice, and took some beautiful photos! ☀️ 😍

He could crack some nuts in those buns! #ROHNutcracker. Viewing in Orkney.

This was a great listen. I know she’s my daughter and all but if it was crap I’d tell you.

My husband got me a smart bird feeder for Christmas that sends me pictures of every bird that stops by and I’ve never been more delighted by a piece of tech in my life

15 years ago a woman sold me a piece of jewellery in a shop. I recently discovered I am now inextricably linked to her and she will never know. Lives weave in and out and it’s often only in the looking back we realise the impact of chance.

I’m healed. Send me another clown
