Harvest Festival

image 

It’s Harvest Festival time. Ely Cathedral celebrates Harvest this coming weekend with a Supper on Friday and services at 10.30 and 4.00 on Sunday. My eye was caught by a very interesting photographic display called “Food and Farming: An Urban Perspective”. Author Richard Benson asked fashion photographer Kevin Foord to shoot rural scenes instead, and the pictures and text together are both informative and entertaining. You can see them online here but even better call in at the Cathedral. And you can make a donation too the Addington Fund who have sponsored it and who help famers in distress. ( I saw their good work first hand in Cumbria when Foot and Mouth struck and they were able to get cash in farmers’ hands, given by church people, very quickly indeed.)

  • The Frankenstein Fish May 29, 2012
    Someone has pulled a fish from a river with the head of a Roach, the body of a Goldfish and the tail-fin of a Bream. This being the result of inter-breeding going on beneath the waves. No wonder perhaps, when one learns that this particular water flows through East Anglia. ‘If I can catch another like this I can name them, ‘Duelling Banjos’

  • The Butler Did It (allegedly) May 29, 2012
    A well-worn phrase in ‘Murder Mysery’ circles where posh talking geezers and ladies with long cigarette holders sit on sofas whilst a fat Belgian or English old lady explains at great length who has ‘killed’ the geezer who has spent the last two hours laying down on the stage with a dummy knife in his back. Obviously this phrase isn’t that well-known in Vati […]
