It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of Four Seasons, must be in want of Total Landscaping.


Praying for Dover on the day of its patron saint, that more may see Christ in the dinghy-refugee just as in the beggar. #Martinmas


"It was alive when you bought it."

The RAF band finery at the Festival of Remembrance is a variant of the short-lived interwar full dress uniform (as worn by George VI). But the v peculiar leather and sealskin busby/flying helmet - complete with ostrich feather - has since been replaced with a peaked cap.

Remembering the mercantile clerk gt-gt-uncle 2nd Lt kia at Bullecourt in 1917, & my grandfathers (the small-c conservative who wished he could have come on the anti-Iraq-War demo, & the FEPOW who welcomed a Japanese exchange student into his home). #RemembranceSunday #remembrance

We all need scrutiny but calling the National Trust's staff & members lunatics and marxists and zealots over what gets served in our cafes is not scrutiny. Attacks on independent institutions have been growing in democracies around the world. Every little matters.

#ElAlamein #23ottobre 1942, un luogo e una data che raccontano di valore e sacrificio, un capitolo tanto eroico quanto tragico della nostra storia. Rendiamo onore ai coraggiosi militari italiani che combatterono tra le sabbie del Nord Africa. Con loro ricordiamo con deferenza…

Translating Faith.Ethiopian Pilgrims in Renaissance Rome, de Samantha Kelly, sur les moines éthiopiens orthodoxes au Vatican au 15e et 16e s et leurs apports à la connaissance de l'Éthiopie chrétienne, entre humanisme et contre-réforme. Passionnant et d'une erudition folle.

1/7 The shockingly ill-informed and sometimes malicious debate over Commonwealth reparations demands is proving frustrating. Even normally well-informed commentators seem unable to characterise them accurately.

On False Historical Equivalents 1/14🧵Amidst all the talk of reparations demands surrounding the Commonwealth Summit, two oft-repeated false historical equivalences are receiving a vigorous airing. independent.co.uk/news/barbados-…
