Serpentine thoughts as the Boa-like A30 loosens its constrictions for February and we can breathe for a few weeks, soon enough it will tighten its grip again and no-one will be able to move for the season. If not a boa constrictor then maybe snakes n ladders, I only came for a visit…

It feels like one storm after another in the Church of England just now. But this is more than a season of tempests and noise to be endured. The fundamentals of power and accountability must change if we are to be the Peace we are called to.

I've got a new long read for you, in which I climb Truro Cathedral, turn into a conspiracy theorist about church spires, and try really hard not to interrupt a Christmas carol concert. It's packed with pretty pictures and you can read the whole thing here: jayhulmepoet.substack.com/p/truro-cath...
A photo of Truro cathedral with the caption "Truro Cathedral - how many spires does this cathedral have? Wikipedia and I disagree."If you look up Truro Cathedral you will ind a number of fun facts. I shall list the chree most commonly shared ones here, in order of truthfulness. The first "fun fact' about Truro Cathedral is that it's the first Anglican Cathedral in England built on a new site since the Reformation. This is true. In fact, it's che first since Salisbury was relocated in 1220, It's our only fully Victorian Cathedral, and that phrase alone should be foreshadowing for regular readers. The second fun fact' about Truro Cathedral is that it is the place where Nine Lessons and Carols was first held. This is true, and also not; in that though the service of Nine Lessons and Carols was invented by the first Bishop of Truro and held in the building serving as the Cathedral at that time, the building in question was a temporary wooden structure they were using as a Pro-Cathedral (the fancy term for a temporary Cathedral), because the actual Cathedral I'm about to show you would, in fact, take another 7 years of construction to be usable The third 'fun fact' about Truro Cathedral is that it's one of three Cathedrals in the UK with three spires. This is bollocks. I have no idea why people say this. There are four spires. I will elaboratre later, but I have become a Spire Trucher. This is my new weird conspiracy theory. Why is the Big Cathedral Spire Lobby trying to keep Truro down and deny her the honour of being a Four Spired Cathedral??? With this all said... let us begin.saw a balcony in the north west transept when I was looking around earlier. Also these sketchy looking pathways. How am I supposed to resist that?

This text is followed by two images of walkways bridging the corners high up in a cathedral I hadn't thought much about the concert going on in the nave until this point, but now, I realised there was a problem. I'm here, north side of the great east window. Minding my own business, Enjoying the view.

Followed by an image of the south side of the cathedral from high up.

Then more text:

In the nave? Hundreds of people enjoying a concert.

Then the same photo, but taken at a slight angle to show that the nave of the cathedral is full of people.

Just had a wild experience I'd like to share. I tool the bike out for a while around the back roads of the Franklin district in Auckland to get some throttle therapy and fresh air. I was going at a decent, but legal pace, when I came upon a car stopped pretty much in the middle of the road 1/

I know that Advent is the season for apocalyptic themes, but interfering with pasty production is beyond the end times.

It’s more than 100 miles between the most distant parish churches in @diotruro.bsky.social with travel sometimes involving island hopping

Just heard that the A30 is blocked by snow and that most of the UK is cut off- prayers for Up Country, you’ll be ok
