As part of his studies as a Baptist minister, my colleague Joey Redhead made this Lego model of the type of Corinthian Roman buildings (urban villa if someone wealthy, perhaps a craft shop if not) that the earliest churches might have met in. Enjoy. #Bible #Lego

Thought I’d do a mega hread on NPR, partly because I’ve seen some London based commentary that doesn’t really get the bigger picture quite right imho

I love doing these walks. It's a great way to notice what is happening on our doorstep and to get to know one another! The walks planned for Winter/Spring are 2-3miles max and involve a cafe stop. All welcome! Details below #Manchester #Walking #Parish

I was at college for two years at the same time as Nick Clegg. I have zero memory of any interaction with him (or indeed any memories of him there at all - probably reciprocal).

Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

I named my fists Fortnum and Mason because someone’s about to be seriously hampered.

Mini round-up for #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember. ‘Proper’ challenge (50k words) failed. I also didn’t write every day. BUT… I wrote every weekday, and added over eight thousand words. The chart below shows why I’m pleased with the month compared to past months. How was your month? #WritingCommunity

Post your favorite "Transformers" character. Wrong answers only.

Today’s total is 323 words. More importantly (to me) is that I’ve managed a Monday through Friday writing streak throughout #NovelNovember #NaNoWriMo - good luck to all who are doing the full 30 days / 50k challenge - you’re nearly there. #WritingCommunity

Another day, another 489 words. One more day for another Monday-Friday streak. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity

I was talking to my parents the other night about where my worldview came from. I put it down to their influence when I was growing up, but my mother said it was more to do with all the German philosophy I read as a teen. Classic question, isn’t it? Nietzsche versus nurture.

Today’s total for #NaNaWriMo #NovelNovember is 526 words, which takes past the 20,000 word mark for the project. Two more days for my personal version of the challenge: Monday to Friday streaks every week. #WritingCommunity

Cold enough for the windscreen to be creating ice art today.

Today’s total is 407 words and a day closer to completing a 4th Monday to Friday streak. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity

Busy day today including evening, but managed to sneak in another 280 words to start another Monday-Friday #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember writing streak (also managed to find a sliver of time over the weekend so 440 words since Friday). How are others finding the last stretch? #WritingCommunity

Just 220 words to end the week. A third Monday to Friday streak complete, with 2,000 more words. It may not seem much but I started November with 13,000 words that I’d taken over a year to write. My total is now over 18,000; for me a giant increase. #NovelNovember #NaNoWriMo #WritingCommunity

Another day, another 396 words. Still going. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity.

A planned writing session evaporated for unforeseen reasons. Fortunately, I had already managed to get some words down. 506 words closer to finishing. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity

Today another 571 words for #NovelNovember #NaNoWriMo - funny how some days are easier than others. #WritingCommunity

Starting another Monday-Friday streak for #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember - 307 words today. #WritingCommunity

Any #CofEpeeps following the sorry saga of #LLF should read this powerful response by Professor Mike Higton to the "misappropriation" of his work in the recent Faith and Order Commission paper on doctrine, intended to inform the House of Bishops decision-making. viamedia.news/2025/11/17/c...

Another Monday to Friday streak complete, with 457 words added today. How’s the second week of #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember been for you? #WritingCommunity

Today’s total 298 words. I’m taking the Tesco philosophy to words - Every Little Helps. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingComminity

222 words today. Thought I was going to get some time but plans changed unexpectedly. But another day with at least some words. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity

Only 221 words for #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember today. Well short of the official 1,667 words a day target. A failure. But thanks to failing continually this month, I have over 2,500 more words, which is more than I’ve written in the rest of the year. I’ll take that type of failure. #WritingCommunity

Today’s total for #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember is 578 words. Happy with that, and I’m maintaining my (Mondays to Fridays) streak. Hope your month, if you’re taking part, is going well. #WritingCommunity

I’ve made it - Monday to Friday writing each day. Today’s total was 775 words, meaning over 2,000 over the week. It’s well short of the ‘official’ target (11,670 words) but I‘ve written as much as I had in the previous 6 months. How’s #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember working for you? #WritingCommunity

And today’s total is a measly 315 words. But with for days in a row, I have a mini streak and the little amounts add up to something larger. My thriller is getting a little longer. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember #WritingCommunity

Another day, another 271 words. Not many, but they all add up. #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember

Really good thread about how city rural divide and symbolism. But the Biblical picture is a bit more complex than presented… 1/4

Today I have written 396 words for #NaNoWriMo #NovelNovember - bringing my total to 680 for the month. Not many, but also not none. And I now have a writing streak (2 days - woohoo). I’m working on a Manchester-based thriller provisionally titled No Baggage.

Started #Nanowrimo #NovelNovember (I don’t do weekends). 284 words down. Which, on the one hand, is 1,383 words below target. But on the other hand, it’s 284 more words than I had yesterday. #SmallWins

Spooky. The Conservative Party Conference starts locally, and look who’s reading my stuff. 👀

You say: ‘the new Robin Hood film is full of historical inaccuracies including clothing, room decor and buildings.’ I hear: ‘there’s a new Robin Hood film!’
