Still looking for answers to big questions in small books, but also looking in early morning walks with my wonderful dog Bilbo.

I have to be up and doing for nine in the morning for the Liturgical Looking Glass (feat some Bach, some chant, and an exploration of "liturgical joy.") radiomariaengland.uk/. No caffeine, alas.

Someone else (@LizzieSwarbrick) inspired by The White Horse at Uffington (cared for by @nationaltrust), the inspiration for Rosemary Sutcliff’s novel of #histfic #kidslit Sun Horse, Moon Horse. In the Iron Age young artist Lubrin Dhu is talented at drawing… #SunHorseMoonHorse

When I’m not clambering around medieval churches, I embroider strange things. Here’s one I just finished of the White Horse at Uffington - a prehistoric landmark cared for by the @nationaltrust. I spent so much time here as a child and it’s always loomed large in my imagination.

So, my new publication is out, let’s have a flick through.
It’s in @RFMacLellan’s edited volume ‘The Modern Memory of Military-Religious Orders’. You can order your library a copy here if you fancy it. routledge.com/The-Modern-Mem…

"Julie continues to write with the passion of a conservationist, but goes much further than simply wishing to preserve a fading set of practices..."

It’s #StGeorgesDay so here’s a beautiful image of the saint (along with the instruments of the Passion and a great beasty border) on the blind-stamped binding of a 16thC missal made for St Nicholas’, Aberdeen. Now in @uoacollections

The ‘temptation” Rosemary Sutcliff once said: “is to try & use everything you’ve found out in…research. That can be fatal, because you…only need to use about 1/10. It’s…like an iceberg…It has to be there, because it gives you the freedom of the period. But you don’t use it.”
Right, all set up for the @oxford_brookes #Education MA; proud to be invited by @Mat_at_Brookes to lead the class through two Fantasy journeys by water, through the archipelago of #Earthsea and across the open seas with #CSLewis and the #Dawntreader...
Mind, as they say, offically blown by Fr Bruno's redefining the word "responsorial" in our discussion of the psalms in the Mass on today's programme of "The Liturgical Looking Glass."
Looking forward to our Radio Maria England radiomariaengland.uk/how-to-… programme of liturgy and music tomorrow morning, and a chance to interview Fr Bruno Clifton @English_OP on what it's like to be a composer of liturgical music.
