I have reached the peak of my letter writing career After dozens of letters in the national and local press, magazines and journals I am not only the lead letter in a Sunday broadsheet, there’s a photo of me too! I shall retire… Maybe..

Little Gidding, Cambridgeshire. 'If you came by day not knowing what you came for, It would be the same, when you leave the rough road And turn behind the pig-sty to the dull facade And the tombstone.' from 'Little Gidding' by TS Eliot, who was born #OTD 26 September 1888. #SteepleSaturday

A fingerpost with fingers, you ask? Happy to oblige! #FingerpostFriday
On top of an old Cotswold stone column shaped from a large square base to a short stubby column sits an iron cylinder. Three long white arms are attached to the cylinder, each with a substantial hand and extended finger. The arms point to Stow on the Wold, Toddington and Tewkesbury, written in black uppercase. In the background a green field with distant trees and a cloudy but bright sky. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Today's the feast of Our Lady of Walsingham. 'There once the penitents took off their shoes And then walked barefoot the remaining mile And the small trees, a stream and hedgerows file Slowly along the munching English lane.' - Robert Lowell The National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, Norfolk.

The 11th to 12th century doom painting (it extends to the adjacent walls) at St John the Baptist, Clayton, in West Sussex. The wall paintings were revealed in the 1890s when C.E. Kempe was restoring the interior. #WallsOnWednesday
