Today is St. Martin's Day - Old Halloween! 🍂 Marking the end of harvest/ start of winter, it is a time for bonfires, lantern processions, feasts and wine. Welsh folklore tells us it is a night of eerie ill omens: owls hoot, meteors fall, and the Cŵn Annwn (spectral hounds) roam.

Thus is about as close as it gets to a horror film in the Chancery Division. Especially when you can't even find counsel to unequivocally defending the circular definition of a beneficiary in your trust deed... nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZHC/…

Re Hoglie Trustees Ltd [2024] NZHC 2832 the stuff of nightmares. You put in to the High Court seeking some rubber stamped directions about the trust you formed in 1992 and Johnstone J reads the trust deed and decides it lacks certainty of objects.

Truly amazing C12 wall paintings at St. Mary’s Church, Ickleton, Cambridgeshire. One of the earliest surviving sets of paintings still surviving in the country & certainly some of the most extensive I’ve seen 🤩😍 (They’re also really hard to photograph, so see thread below…)

I am running the 2024 Great North Run for a South Tyneside charity in memory of my late husband Paul, who grew up there and loved it all his life. Paul died suddenly on the 2nd August: if you feel able to donate you’ll help a local charity doing amazing things
