Top 10 English church doorways from my travels - a thread. 1. Church of St Mary and St David, Kilpeck, Herefordshire. A riot of Norman carving. Dragons, grotesques, angels, a phoenix, beakheads, a basilisk, a lion. A writhing phantasmagoria of the 12th century imagination:

This is really beautiful, from Simon Armitage.
A montage to commemorate the extraordinary life of The Duke of Edinburgh, made unique by its sheer breadth of experience, and the wartime generation he was part of. With words by the Poet Laureate, The Patriarchs - An Elegy.

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet, She wore her greenest gown; She turned to the south wind And curtsied up and down. She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbour: “Winter is dead.” ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivation #daffodils #spring #nature #poem
