I’m GIVING AWAY a hardback copy of ‘My Name is MacKenzie Bly’ (out Aug 27th. Retweet by end of tomorrow for prize draw ) with stunning endpapers by illustrator Jim Kay).
MB is the alter ego of the dully-named Philip Stephens, here describing his Year 9 work experience allocation.

Percy's Pilgrimage 🐈⬛
Percy has now returned home after a surprise trip to Canterbury! We assume he must have hopped on a coach and gone for a visit, before being found and taken to a vets to have his chip scanned. Thanks to everyone who helped us in locating him.

LOST CAT 🐈⬛
One of our Cathedral family has lost their cat. Percy is a five month old black, British Short Hair, last seen in the Cathedral Close on Monday morning. If you are in the area please look out for him and contact us if you see him. His family are very worried!

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted.
Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.
I have just had the opportunity to be guinea pig for a proposed stonecarving course at @SalisburyCath next year, and this is my effort at a green man. I'm rather pleased with him. Makes a change from running the shop...

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Spotted this Advent Calendar depicting @SalisburyCath in a small independent online shop and had to have it. I won’t open the windows (no chocolates behind, just pictures), so that I can keep it.
Thanks @jbpartridge for a convivial hour of belting out some great assembly tunes! A bit disappointed that 'At half past three we go home to tea' didn't make the cut, though...

My labour of love over the last five years is finally finished! Now to find a frame big enough so I can hang it on the wall. #crossstitch

I believe Evening Songs is one of the most important things we do at @SalisburyCath. Music and worship so powerful and meaningful. If you are anywhere nearby please do come to our service on 2 July. There will not be a dry eye in the house 😭 😃 🎶 @lafoliamusic @salcathchoir
Next week it’s the return of the amazing 🎶 Evening Songs in collaboration with @lafoliamusic and Exeter House School - Tuesday 2 July, 1730 @SalisburyCath
🎼 This service takes place at the normal time of Evensong - no booking required.

This is a General Election — a chance to vote for the national policies that will create the best future for Salisbury. Only Labour has a credible national platform for change and only Labour can beat the Conservatives in Salisbury. #GeneralElection2024 #Salisbury
