A bit of news! www.lincoln.anglican.org/news/eleanor...

Caught up with ‘Educating Yorkshire’ last night. I love the school’s motto ‘Be nice, work hard.’ Seems like a good way to live ❤️

A joy to be at Sheffield Cathedral as Keith graduated from the ‘Foundations’ course. Final photo is a caption competition!

I’m that excited! Not only is it Nye, it’s in Cardiff!!! Diolch Nye for our wonderful NHS

Very special to host the VJ Day commemoration in Snaith. ❤️

Sunflower picking followed by cake. An added bonus of a Curate is a wonderful friendship with his wife ❤️

Great to witness @bishopsophie.bsky.social debut speech at Synod!!!

Awesome day at Durham Cathedral to see Donna made Deacon. Now Diane has Jonny and Donna as Curates, I have two ‘Grandbairn’ Curates ❤️❤️❤️ Joyful day ❤️

Hook Church run tonight. Brilliant! Although it was SO hot 🥵

Snaith sunset tonight

Rest day, enjoying my new egg chair in my peaceful corner of the garden. Bliss ❤️

A great VE Day service of remembrance and celebration tonight.

Bank Holiday Alpacas! ❤️

Bit more clearing this week in my spare time. Less progress now the sabbatical is over!!

Happy Easter!

Peak Anglican. It’s as if I have morphed into the ‘Vicar and his wife!’ 😂😂

I did it! I ran the whole of the parkrun! First time since 12th October!!!!!!!!

😂😂😂

Rather relieved, I have not forgotten how to take a service! Prayers for my fellow Clergy who are crawling to Easter, with it being so late ❤️

Great to be back with Snaith WI tonight! We made Easter flower arrangements. Lovely to know that people have missed me as I have missed them. ❤️❤️

The face of someone who has just run two whole miles without stopping for the first time since injury in October. At the moment The Great North Run dream is still on!! Yeah!

More garden clearing and an number of beautiful encounters with Robins

Final sabbatical project before return to work. Reinstate predecessors quiet space at the bottom of the garden. Hard graft but worth it! Now to give it a Mediterranean theme 😀

For our altar of repose next week we have an Olive tree (well it is meant to the Garden of Gethsemane!) So meet Olivia the Olive tree. According to her label, she can live up to 2000 years!!! Let’s hope I don’t bog the care up.

Bit of clearing in the garden this afternoon… won’t be able to move tomorrow! Brambles are SO sharp!

Two more Cathedrals visited, a full house of Welsh ones now. Newport and St Davids ❤️

Love this sign!

A little memory of Mevagissey ❤️ Bought in one of the lovely shops there. Only 24 days of my sabbatical left and inevitably my mind is returning to work. So looking forward to seeing folk again ❤️❤️

Have now visited 43 of 49 Anglican Cathedrals of England and Wales. Good to ‘bag’ Carlisle and Blackburn over the last week

Lake Swimming is generally bracing in March 😂 But also lovely!

Amazing time in Cornwall, and just before coming home I ‘flew’ over the Eden Project! Amazing!

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus

Loved this!

A beautiful keepsake of a wonderful lady. Someone said ‘if there were more Olgas in the world, it would be a very much better place.’ They were so right. Gosh we will miss Olga so much but the kindness and love she showed all will be in our hearts forever.

I didn’t know the Savoy in Doncaster existed! Very comfy. Let’s hope I don’t drop off!!! Looking forward to the next instalment of Bridget Jones’ life ❤️

Chilly volunteer at parkrun this morning, but great fun!

Bit of a go at needle felting today

Guildford, Portsmouth, Brighton, Saltdean. Beautiful places. And bucket list ticks ❤️❤️😊

A glorious few days, retreating, reading and reflecting in Northumberland with former Curate, now fabulous friend Diane. 😊

Hello 48! Hello Sabbatical! And hello being back under 50 mins for the parkrun… jogging and walking meant I was faster than when I RAN the parkrun at Sandringham 😂😂

The new attraction in Snaith, the Court Gardens igloo!

🥶🥶🥶🥶 volunteer this morning!

With the Women of Steel #sheffieldborn

The Moon and Venus!

Lovely afternoon in York today ❤️

Boxing Day dip! 5 degrees!!!! Wetsuit on but still cold but refreshing!!!!

An unwanted Christmas gift… Really hoping the wind does not bring it right down. 🤯

Great Christmas Dinner with our Deanery Chapter tonight. ❤️

Right out of my comfort zone at the parkrun today… said I would do time keeping and actually really enjoyed it!!!!!

After almost nine weeks out of running due to the torn meniscus, I have managed to do very light jog today! Completed week 1 run 1 of couch to 5k. It was very careful and slow, but the good news is I have not lost all the fitness I gained! Yeah!
