These early autumn days in London continue to offer outrageous beauty.

Lovely day @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social. Such a privilege to preside at 9.00 as David Hoyle, who led my deaconing retreat, preached on Andrewes & later to welcome the girl choristers of Pembroke, Cambs, where Andrewes was Master, for Evensong. Gibbons Short Service as fab as ever. Tired but happy

Remembering 9/11 with #The OutcryEnsemble @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social Such deep heaviness in the space tonight. Praying urgently for peace feels a solemn duty

A long time ago I agreed with the Principal of my ordination course at WEMTC that if we found ourselves having to defend Western Civilisation before God's throne, the B Minor Mass would provide powerful evidence. 25 years in I remain convinced we were right. It might just be perfect

I almost never use Gloucester Road station, so met this engaging character for the first time last week. He has friends too...but the train arrived before I had time to engage with them. #IDo❤️London

I'll never get tired of crossing the Thames after a trip to the theatre. To Kill a Mocking Bird was simy outstanding Much to process, this week if all weeks.

As re-entries fo, today's was ok. Lots of liturgical loveliness, some visitors who complimented in the warmth and engagement they experienced @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social (& were sweet about my sermon too), a useful start on the email mountain & I managed to stream Compline AND get to the Proms

My hopes of spending this week in London adventuring being thwarted by the wild temperatures, I spent the morning in the shade with good coffee in my favourite mug & a dragon-flavoured fantasy bought from the delightful Waystone Books on Skye. No complaints at all.

From Edinburgh to Drumbuie is a stunning drive & we are now safely installed in a friend's bolthole with amazing views and so much beautiful silence.

Well, we did it! All books happily shelved, 90% labelled AND I got a badge. Rather regretting life choices as playing libraries was one of my favourite things as a book obsessed only child! But at least L gets to live the dream 😀

@KathrynCanonsOn @kathrynfleming.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Having the BEST time helping Favourite Librarian prepare for the new school year. There's a bit of reshelving & labelling going on, which just led to the pleasing poem "Fun Fun, Fur, Hag". Fear we may have peaked...

Out of office on. Train on time. In 50 mins I should be within hugging range of my most favourite of all librarians, who just happens to be my daughter. It's fair to say I'm more than a little excited. Lovely landscapes too: the very essence of summer hols, like a Ladybird book illustration.

Much joy (a whole Ode to it, indeed) at tonight's #bbcprom, my first of this season. Always a pleasure to hear Beethoven here, specially in good company...and there's even a door to door bus for me!

Thank you Bishop Christopher for your faithful, loving ministry as Bishop of Southwark. It has been a joy to work with you and a privilege to orchestrate a Farewell Eucharist today @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social. Many blessings as you move into the next stage of life and ministry

A good 35 years ago my friend J & I had a year as Chairs of Clapham & District NCT. Our lives involved lots playdates for our small ones, much drinking coffee & hours spent on Clapham Common. Today we met another friend there, a joyful reunion with coffee but no buggies. How did we become so old?!

#FacesInThings. I think this was the castle close beside Rosslyn Chapel but wherever it is, it is clearly rather startled by something ...

In a world where much seems irreparably broken, the Schubert String Quintet is a joyous exception. I've loved it since a family friend lent me the Amadeus recording to play on the record player that was my reward for passing 11+. It is quite simply perfect & this evening was a fine performance. ❤️

@KathrynCanonsOn @kathrynfleming.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

A real treat to be @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social tonight for the Brodsky Quartet plus Laura van der Heijden doing Schubert String Quintet, which always makes me think of riding through a forest on a hot day. Thanks to aircin & a beautiful auditorium this feels quite possible...

Things that our ancestors would never have imagined: the choirs of _both_ Southwark Cathedrals (RC & Anglican) singing Vespers together, with a choir & clergy team including women & girls. It happened. It was joyful. I'm deeply thankful. @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social #EverydayEcumenism

"When you walk into a church, you have walked into a poem ...Theology should be not 'Science Minus' but 'Poetry Plus'.." ❤️ Oh, there are so many reasons I'm thankful for @deanoakley.bsky.social but this way of seeing is high on the list

Sunday joy: to host & sing in the Diocesan Choirs Evensong @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social Around 100 singers from far & wise, fun repertoire (Let's be honest "Blest pair of sirens" is *so* much better to sing than to hear) We had a ball! Huge thanks @helensmee.bsky.social & team. Just brilliant.

Such irony. Consecutive headlines re Tory policy to abandon equality law for schools (allegedly in the interests of "common sense") & accusations of sexual abuse levelled against a rich & powerful man Can nobody see?

We've just had a screening of the #PeoplesEmergencyBriefing film @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social. Some staggering stats & horrific images of the impact of the climate Emergency right now. It's a hydra, with so many heads...climate, health,food, economy, a crisis cascade.

Another shout out for the wonderful #NHS Needed an ECG before new treatment for osteoporosis. Lovely nurse remembered me by name from last visit a year ago, saw & screened me in record time & confirmed I'm good to go. As my mum had a history of heart issues, this is happy, non trivial news.

How about this for a motivational signpost to encounter on a birthday? Many directions you could take, but no matter which path you choose, the only way is "Onward"... It did make me smile.
