It's May Day, the opening of the month which in medieval literature is the most magical time of the year - a season for love, fairies, and marvellous dreams aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-may-…

1962-67 West window by John Piper representing River of Life and Tree of Life. Translucent fibreglass panels built up in situ. Quite different effect from stained glass. Apparently crackles during services. 📸: my own #WindowsOnWednesday

If you are buying new books please think really carefully about where you buy them from. Please go to an independent bookshop, or buy directly from the smaller independent presses where this is possible.

It's gonna be May! 🎶

St. Catherine of Siena, whose feast is today.

An excellent #read which I bought on the way back from #Lindisfarne last year at the immense ‘Barter Books’, Alnwick. Powerful personal reflections in the context of journeying to this holy place, interspersed with #history #religion (you can’t escape St Cuthbert, obviously!)

Join The Stained Glass Museum & Alexandra Epps in London on Tuesday 4 June for 'Stained Glass Stories in the Square Mile' and explore the wealth of stained glass within the historic churches of the unique square mile of the City of London.
