Is there such a thing as a biscuit connoisseur? Recently had an Essential Waitrose custard cream and it was the best custard cream I’ve ever eaten.

On @sanditoksvig and the petition to remove bishops from the House of Lords in which she draws comparisons with Iran - I normally stay out of Twitter debates but, for what it’s worth, as an Iranian now utterly amazed to find myself in Parliament, I feel bound to comment 🧵

So the question remains: why?!
It’s time to say goodbye to the little car that has touched us all. The big moments, the little moments, and all the ‘firsts’ – thanks for the memories. #FarewellFiesta 💙   As one era ends, another is just getting started – we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got coming🔌⚡️
Archdeacons don't often get asked to lead evensong - but I love this service. Names change, faithful servants go to their rest, and prayers continue for those who serve by leading.

Why do hotels that provide Nespresso machines not label which pod is decaf? There are about 27 different coloured pods and it’s a 7am game of caffeine roulette I’m not prepared for. #coffee #hotel #weekend

My prayers, and the prayers of people across the @churchofengland and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today. May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral.
