A stile AND mention of a Jacob's Join. Be still my beating heart 🥰
A ‘stile leading to steps’ combo on today’s Burton-in-Kendal Fellwalkers ‘mince pie walk’ on rather slippy local paths - ahead of a ‘Jacob’s Join’ gathering in the village hall. Bringing our 2025 walking season to a close. 🥾🥾🥾

A couple in the village shop were trying to get me to buy raffle tickets for the Christmas party:
'A hamper of enormous proportions, it's quality can only be imagined'
'The dregs of the raffle cupboard'
Much to my amusement and that of the my colleague/friend on the till.

Am trying to make brioche for a Jacob's Join / pot luck event. I hate, and am bad at, baking sweet things.
Who uses the term Jacobs Join? Wikipedia says it's Lancashire/ Cumbria? Any other regional variations?

There’s still time to enter Ade’s “Baroque Style”, sorry, Baroque Stile, competition.
To be in with a chance of winning our complete recording of Vivaldi’s Opus 8, just head to subscribepage.io/Opus8StileComp and tell us which of these stiles you think tripped Adrian up and tore two tendons...
