and very honoured to sponsor @JamesRice21 for his baptism and confirmation. Great day all round!
Baptism and confirmations on Whitsunday 2024 at St Lawrence. Amazing solemn Te Deum at the end by the choir, too. It's great to see everything come together after so much hard work by different people.

This is an interesting one because I *loved* Skyfall when it first came out but I saw it again recently and was a bit underwhelmed. It does have some great moments though, especially M quoting Tennyson.
Skyfall is a joyless Dark Knight wannabe with a stunningly inflated and pretentious sense of its own importance.

If you remove 9/11, you can argue this is most important photograph and defining moment of the 21st century so far.

interesting that in many places bacon has become the default for an eggs benedict rather than ham. I assume it is because bacon is (1) cheaper and (2) is used elsewhere on the menu whereas ham is not

He comes across well, though don’t think he should’ve done this really but Hannah Waddingham’s curtsy has made her soar in my estimations.
Absolutely loved the audience’s reaction when Prince William was introduced on The Graham Norton Show. His charisma was exceptional as he stepped onto the stage 👑✨

S Charles Borromeo, RC Church, Hull. Unfortunately locked - particularly gutted not to get in this one. Outrageously baroque

what i find interesting here is that in 1734 we are two kings later and 32 years after his death - perhaps it is in opposition to any catholic sympathisers in the city?

Tobias Healing the Blind Tobit - Valerio Castello, 1650. In the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull. How fitting I should come across this on the Feast of S Raphael today.

Kippers for lunch. When I was growing up in Whitby my neighbour owned the smokehouse in town. She used to take us down there because we were obsessed with it for some reason. I remember the smell of the smokehouse clinging to my school coat for days afterwards.

despite his many appeals to lad culture or how many times he ranks different pints with John Healy, at his core his ideology is sensibilism, and he cannot suppress that.
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham criticises Angela Rayner for including a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in her survival kit “I’m not sure that’s the top of the list… You need to have a clear head in a challenging situation. Some tins of food, bottled water. People are allowed a glass or two”
