Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, died on this day in 918. She was the daughter of Alfred the Great, and ruled Mercia after the death of her husband Æthelred. There is a more modern church built on a site originally founded by her in Shrewsbury. image

Today is Oak Apple Day, when England traditionally celebrated the restoration of the Monarchy. It is almost forgotten in the modern era. image

I’ve just been away for a week in some of the battlefields of Northern Europe. It’s really depressing. I took a picture of the grave of a Canadian soldier who died during the Great War, where one of his relatives had left a note saying that they’d named their son after him.

Quite frankly, I would not be allowing phones into the service in the Vatican on Good Friday.
