Today's the feast of St Leonard, 6th Century French hermit monk, patron saint of prisoners and often depicted holding chains or manacles as here, standing between St Joan of Arc and St Louis of France in glass by Christopher Whall, 1922 at Apethorpe, Northamptonshire.
This is utterly joyful.
In this abbey in France, nuns have been restoring old books for over 70 years.
The Benedictine sisters of Maumont Abbey run a full workshop and their craft is bookbinding, gilding and restoration. Centuries-old books arrive damaged, torn and crumbling, and they restore them all by hand to last another hundred years.

We walked over the spectacular Cannington Viaduct this afternoon. Built for the railway line between Axminster and Lyme Regis. It was fabulous
Lyme Regis, Dorset, England

Her legacy is enormous. Iβm sad that she is not widely read.
I wrote an essay exploring her work and the work of St Julian of Norwich. An interesting pairing. RIP Annie Dillard
This is such a beautiful, powerful piece.
Relevant today, as then.

I went to Mass at a different church this morning. Beautiful as always, but I saw a young woman who I recognised- an ex-student from years ago - how wonderful when she saw me and rushed over.. ππ₯°

Meanwhile itβs #caturday so here are Pippin and Merry, aged 4 months.
Being on the flower rotation gives me a wonderful time on my own in the church.
