I was lucky enough to see this amazing medieval tiled pavement on a recent tour at Exeter Cathedral with the Devon Buildings Group. Uncovered in the room above the chapel of St Andrew and St Catherine during work on the roof. #TilesOnTuesday #medieval

Candles „They are the last romantics, these candles: Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers, And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes, Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints. …“ Sylvia Plath

The holidays are a time of bringing people together. Here Steve Rosenberg (in Moscow) and me (in Umbria) are 2890 kilometres apart, but music brings us together. I hope you enjoy our Christmas offering (one of my favourite carols). Merry Christmas to all! BBC Radio 3

New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy. (And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)
