We live in Formby and this bird appears to be very taken with our garden! Is it a red legged partridge? We are nowhere near farm land or the countryside.

Well, that’s a first for our garden list
A pheasant just dropped like a stone into the garden, mooched around and headed for the wilded bit at the back. I confess I said “what the f***k was that! Don’t expect that in suburban #Formby!! We are Nowhere near the countryside!!

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

I've never seen this before in a church. It is a clarillon, which is a pitched percussion instrument that is played with a keyboard and consists of at least 23 bells.
It was in the belfry at St Peter's Church Easrhorpe.

I wore them! I started work in 1969 aged 16. The joy of those times…a teenager working in the City. My own money to spend. It was a glorious time for me and the swinging sixties personifies it. Happy days.

1. ECHR is nothing to do with EU.

2. I’m sure the Right will love this rare political quote from the Queen.

Copies of the ‘teen magazine for girls’ from the 60s-80s have just gone online with the BNA site. It’s a fascinating look at social history. This as is from the day I started work in 1969. Aged 16! Nursing has certainly changed!

Dungarees and ‘flying suits’ !!!

I’ve quickly revisited my youth in the swinging 60s😎One thing surprises me in Jackie. I thought there would be more fashion. I must have got my fashion fix from other mags. It was truly a great decade in popular culture and optimism…

Lucky enough to have hedgehogs in our garden. The fattening up process is well under way! Looks like their nest is ready to be used !

I wondered what the inscription on this woman’s grave meant..
It seems it is from Proverbs
If you read the verses from 10-31 (below) it makes sense

St Luke’s Formby
#tombtuesday
#churchcrawling

Proverbs 31 is the 31st and final chapter of the Book of Proverbs in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Verses 1 to 9 present the advice which King Lemuel's mother gave to him, about how a just king should reign. The remaining verses detail the attributes of a good wife or an ideal woman (verses 10–31). The latter section is also known as Eshet Ḥayil.

Sadly I couldn’t read her name but it is on an area of quite old graves and several table tombs
Also some very old headstones
