Thanks to the efforts of one dedicated Reverend, this unassuming little late Georgian church survived against the odds, overcoming the very real possibility of decay and dereliction.

A flying visit to see Sand Crocus Romulea columnae on its Cornish coastal crag.. early morning and overcast so only part open but excellent to see it flowering on home turf, despite seeing it by the hundred-thousand in Europe #Wildflowerhour

On Easter Eve, they kept to the old ways in Old Fox's parish church, barely ruffled by the Reformation, although the Abbey had, of course, suffered great changes. As such, it was the tradition to guard the Easter sepulchre in St Thomas's throughout Holy Saturday until the Reverend Lion came just before dawn on Easter morning.

That year, Old Fox and Grey Brock and Miss Stevenson took turns.

Old Fox took books and writing materials, but often just chatted to visitors or to the resident ghosts of the church; Grey Brock took his knitting and some wood to whittle into Easter figures for his nephews, and Miss Stevenson took Vanity Fair (a much-read favourite), the crossword and a stack of Easter cards to write for her many friends and acquaintances.

At Midnight, Old Fox was there alone, having packed the other two off to their respective beds.

The church held its holy silence like the caves along the Dorset coast, a silence lashed by waves and scattered by sea birds.

Old Fox was the only one who could push un-torn through the thorn-bridge from Eve to Day; the only one to see the kind and gentle man enter, tall form thundered by light, rest his muddy spade by the heavy Norman door, remove his battered felt hat, and greet Old Fox as a King greets a dear and much-respected old friend.

The Rabbit, by a branch of red berries in a snowy field.

The Rabbit, by a branch of red berries in a snowy field.

There was once a rabbit who dreamt of wild adventure, of liners sailing to Brazil, carrot fields in Norfolk, creameries in Normandy. I have a small life, he said. But before he died, he looked up at his beloved human & he realised that a life of love is never slight, not at all.

"Hello medieval person, I am totally not a time traveller, but do you mind if I ask you some questions for this thing called a questionnaire? How often do you wash, how often do you go to a bathhouse, what kind of soap do you use? No I'm not a pervert! Stop hitting me!"

I think the thing about good jungle, is just the density and variety of life, among the leaf litter. Its easy to be upset watching big jungle trees get cut down. But its the diversity of life beneath them, thats lost along with them, that makes the tragedy so complete. #Marasmius #FungiFriends

Ostara is a pagan festival celebrating the Spring Equinox (around March 20–21) as a time of balance between light and darkness. It marks the arrival of spring, and honours themes of renewal, fertility, and growth.
Blessed Ostara! 🌿
