I know! Madness.

Denmark Road, Gloucester - Charles Lear & Co. Dating from c.1867 this magnificent Grade II listed villa stands behind electric gates abutting beautiful parkland offering substantial living accommodation laid out over four floors in excess of 10,0...

It used to be a private house, which is even more bonkers!

Nooooo

I feel your pain... I have just worked two two-day weeks followed by two four-day weeks instead of my normal five-day weeks!

Hope you have a good break when it arrives.

Helen-Ann's fundraiser for British Heart Foundation Help Helen-Ann Hartley raise money to support British Heart Foundation

I’m running the London Marathon on Sunday. I was so kindly given a place but have decided to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my dear cousin Anne who has just very sadly died.

Landscape: two Victorian stained glass windows, depicting various scenes of "medieval" knights (with Victorian moustaches). The sunlight is shining through them, casting an arch of colourful light on the wall to the right.

I still can't get over the utter ridiculousness of our new(ish) office...

HANNA(H) SUPREMACY! 🥳🌀🌪

My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.

This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!

Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

Reform would review all asylum claims from the last five years The current Labour government has already announced major crackdowns on immigration, including disrupting gangs.

So not only are people who have come to the UK seeking safety placed in fear and limbo by the current government, but also with the potential of Reform winning the next election.
Not only is this proposed policy utterly racist and inhumane, it is also batshit crazy.

Looks wonderful! 😍

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

Praying it all works out okay. ❤️🙏

I 100% agree!

Sadly it's not actually *with* Jay (the DREAM!), but I thought he would appreciate it. Especially as I believe he's done similar there previously.

Smart!

Looking forward to another round of church roof space skulking at Tewkesbury Abbey, following last summer's excellent tower tour. 😊

Oh, I do so love a good church tower/high parts tour...

A rainbow of floof! 😍

Tuesday night has been bellringing practice night at @gloucestercathedral.org.uk for as long as I can remember (and probably much longer!). I enjoyed hearing the bells as a child, and still enjoy hearing them from my flat now. Bellringing is special. 😊

So you can see that what I do is actually stained glass- here’s one that I didn’t sell. It hangs in our kitchen window and catches the morning sun. ‘Autumn Quaker’ 2012.

Gorgeous! It makes me think of Tom Denny's work.

It's admittedly not a single Bible verse, but as a young child I was randomly obsessed with the story of Naboth's vineyard (1 Kings 21. 1-16), which is... not one of the Bible stories more commonly told to kids.

You or the cat?!
