Saw a set of such delights from @andrewrumsey.bsky.social in Eastbourne tonight: concise, huge-hearted reflections, observations & remembrances. Very much enriched by Andrew’s explanatory notes & jovial performance. Really splendid to see him (& fine support from @overslizzie.bsky.social too!)

June dates in lovely places, including Yatesbury church, where the new album was recorded last summer.

Marred cross, 15th century. All Saints, Great Chalfield.

After a morning of @dioceseofyork.bsky.social synod, with a focus on rural ministry, will be joining @andrewrumsey.bsky.social (and The One Show) in pilgrimage on the St Aelred's trail, with 4pm open air service in Rievaulx Abbey (all welcome) followed by an evening of his new album in Helmsley.

@acloudtotheback.bsky.social reviews @andrewrumsey.bsky.social 's latest LP via Gare du Nord "With such well-measured richness to unpack in its roomy interiors, Blank Arcades is another captivating .. place to get lost inside." #musicreview freq.org.uk/reviews/andr...

First thing, Silbury Hill.

Autumn dates in lovely places.

Evening light, Liverpool Cathedral.

Lennon-McCartney shrubbery analysis. Privet at Forthlin Road, laurel at Mendips.

The nineteen rules of the Market Lavington choir. Rightly still pinned in the vestry.
