Finally finished editing the photos from last night. This is possibly my favourite, with the aurora arc stretching over the northern horizon.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d see the Aurora this well in Cambridge 🤯🤯🤯 once in a lifetime event. Couple shots straight from the camera, can’t wait to edit them, first some sleep though, been up since 4am yesterday morning 😂

Totally recommend the brilliant exhibition on the anonymous and enigmatic artist known as The Maestro di San Francesco GallNazionaleUmbria - on until mid-June. Some real treasures & fantastic commentary. And the sunshine’s quite nice, too, Nicholas Mulroy Jennifer Sliwka et al…

In a historic meeting, Anglican Communion primates from around the world have attended an audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican today.

Hugely proud of the wonderful Peter Holder, our Sub Organist Westminster Abbey, on his election as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music. One of a group of 300 who have distinguished themselves in the music profession.

From an early moment in his life, Albrecht Dürer was aware of himself as a genius, as an inspired creator; he was an accurate, loving student of nature; his art is full of meticulous, captivating depictions of vegetation. In 'The Great Piece of Turf,' created in 1503, each blade…

Developments in Jerusalem. More news to follow.

Former SOE agent, Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor DSO OBE died in June 2011, aged 96.

Like Byron, Leigh Fermor was a soldier, a writer and a traveller. Both men drank deep from the cup of life. Both men had Greece’s back. Both men swam the Hellespont. Both men are among Greece’s…

Christ is Risen - may our broken and battered world know the victory of the abundant Resurrection life.

Unfortunately this is a knowingly dishonest article. Giles presents a lie about the Diocese of Jerusalem which he hasn’t taken the trouble to check, says he doesn’t know if it’s true, but remains shocked by it. This article has no credibility whatsoever.
