In uncertain times, you need spiritual insurance. Eel insurance. Emma de Beaufoe (d. 1256) knew. In her will, she left 400 eels each year to Blackborough Priory. The eels bought prayers for the souls of Emma, & her friend(?) Isabelle Freville. Salvation is slippery. Bring eels. 🗃️🧪

RAIN!-just stood out in it bc HEAVENLY but also to sniff that delicious scent from the parched ground-petrichor.
