Here's a lovely bit of Common Worship backstory for #CofEPeeps. (You'll love the opening anecdote, but read to the end) www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/11/21/r...

This will interest some #CofEPeeps...

We have some very tasty special offers & late availability posted on our specials page at the moment www.sheldonretreat.com/specials

Oh yes!

Agreed. I've just leafed through the Aldi Christmas food booklet. And I'm not salivating.

This is good news! Bath and Wells has been without a Bishop of Taunton for a while, as Bishop Ruth has been covering vacancies in Coventry and now Liverpool. So welcome Bishop Fiona! #CofEpeeps www.bathandwells.org.uk/news/fiona-g...

A little reminder of the Churches Mutual Credit Union - sensible loans to support ministry! For those with the resources, an ideal way to support other people - by investing with CMCU. Not just for #CofEpeeps Car loans and loans to buy an electric bike, for example. www.churchesmutual.co.uk

The entities formerly known as HSTs, now @gwr.com 'Castle class', are heading for extinction this year. Caught this one passing Totnes Riverside on the South Devon Railway, en route Exeter -Penzance. #UKRailways

Oh, this is genius! And a real competitor to the Swiss Railway clock. Check out the linked video. #UKRailway

I think this applies this side of the Atlantic too... ✝️

##CofEPeeps need to see this.

I'm not sure Robert Jenrick has quite understood how ventriloquism works. #UKpolitics

#CofEpeeps needs a bit of comment on today's announcement, so here's one for starters.

What a cracking photo of Bath Spa in the dark! #UKRailways

Interesting exercise to say a prayer for an individual when you don't know who they are...✝️

Very good. But some of us are still looking for Series 3 assistance... Green was good. 😄😄

Some fun graphics here. And while the name speculation is probably foggy, the explanations about the process are very good. And it's not paywall protected! 👍✝️

One for #UKRailways

2:00 on Friday September 19th and "The Cornish Lunch" - great name for a special train - passes Totnes Riverside on the South Devon Railway. Destination was Par. Good thing they were eating on the train as by the time they got there they were half an hour late.. Starting point was Cardiff.

An antidote to the flummery, from today's @theguardian.com

OK, got round to buying it. Now I'm going to have to read it... (No, looking forward to it, @revcharlottegale.bsky.social) ✝️

The Very Expensive Train (Brittanic Explorer) passes the South Devon Railway at Totnes Riverside. Blue 66 on the rear, GWR autocoach on the SDR service train. #UKRailways

I think it does! ✝️

Oh my life! Shades of Ceaucescu, or North Korea. In the former home of the brave, land of the free. Errrrgh.

Oooh and @petercrumpler.bsky.social has a letter in the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social this week! ✝️

5 minutes before the Northern Belle came over the Cogload flyover from Bristol, a GWR IEP came under it from Castle Cary, forming a Paddington-Paignton service. #UKRailways

57513 Scarborough Castle leading the Northern Belle Birmingham-Paington trip off the Cogload Junction flyover 19 August 2025. 57314 on the rear. The whole consist looks amazing, pity about the Mk1 coaches! #UKRailways

This! 👇

As someone who enjoys journalists and puns, I'm just waiting for one of the newspapers (or Private Eye) to use the headline 'HALF-BAKED ALASKA' You saw it here first.

✝️

✝️

I am surprised. But you could hardly send her a tea-towel.🙂

In view of the history, a card of the Bishop’s Palace...?

Sneaked along Litchurch Lane today, lots of prep going on for The Greatest Gathering tomorrow. #UKRailways

Embarrassed to say I'm feeling smug because I got this straight away. Genius from Moose. Award him the Order of the Twirling Hosepipe.

Fascinating. Crewkerne station closed until further notice after the dry weather has dried out clay embankment. It's not clear from the announcement whether trains are running through the station non-stop, or whether the line is completely closed. #UKrailways www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-...

Definitely one for Lookalikes in @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Well, we know what they mean. But the text of this message conjures up images of a line of broken-down trains stretching from somewhere between Bere Alston and Plymouth and/or Gunnislake. "All lines are blocked". No, @GWRhelp, they're not. They're devoid of working units. #ukrailways

Nice one in the current @privateeyenews.bsky.social ✝️ (Please, Luther scholars, don't spoil the joke by telling us what theses 14 and 21 were. Write to the Eye instead. Pedants' Corner awaits...)

Genius. Love this from @mooseallain.bsky.social.

West Somerset Railway cancelled *all* trains today (incl Flying Scotsman). South Devon Railway running diesel coupled to steam to minimise lineside fire risks. #ukrailway

Best ##PMQs today - Ed Davey on SEND. Measured, passionate, offering to work together. Best answer: Keir Starmer on the Northern Ireland legacy prosecutions - clear, reasoned, open to working with others.

Another banger from the inimitable Dave Walker's CartoonChurch.com. If you're involved in a church fête this weekend... ✝️

#CofEPeeps...

Unmissable. Except someone did... ✝️

Wonderful! #ukrailway

#CofEPeeps be aware of this great resource!

And don't get me started on 'incredible'... It's incredible how often it is used by all sorts of people. On the other hand, my generation used 'fabulous' to excess.
