Tewkesbury Abbey has over 800 knitted monks on show. It's hoped more will be made to get to the 900 mark to celebrate the 900th anniversary in 2021.

(the church is called an abbey as it used to be a monastery until the dissolution in 1539, rather like Westminster Abbey).

Tomaso Albinoni's adagio section of his concerto opus 9 number 2.  The part normally played with an oboe is sung. It's part of an album by "The Wildlife" supposedly influenced by Robin Hood.

 

The clip is soothing and comforting (ignore any popups which might appear)

Good evening we’ve had a beautiful day, the weather couldn’t have been more ideal. We walked 19.5 miles in total some coastal path, some inland through woodland. We finished as the sun went down and the moon was shining vividly  

 

i hope you’ve each enjoyed your Sunday too and on that note... sweet dreams xxx

Good morning everyone, it has been a little damp but it is drying up nicely now and looks to stay dry for the rest of the week, and some way ahead.  That sounds a lovely walk Summer, was it just you and Bramble or did you have company?

 

Enjoy your day everyone

The Scotland cricket team is currently touring Oman with three one day internationals (those are 50 overs each side).  The first of those was today. The result was a bit one-sided.

 

Oman all out for 24 after 17.1 overs. Scotland got the required runs in 3.2 overs without losing any wickets.

Fairish weather here, a bit of rain overnight.

 

Important win for Cheltenham Town last night increasing the gap between them and the relegation zone

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Rather cloudy here but forecast to brighten up.

 

Apparently the reason why zebras have stripes is because the stripes confuse flies so the zebras are less likely to get bitten:

The world's largest bee has been found alive on an Indonesian island:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/sci...environment-47311186
It has an estimated wingspan of 6 cm so more than 10 times the size of a queen bumblebee.

Wow that looks huge!!!!! I’m pleased the species is not extinct

Summer, just imagine if the sizes of that bee and the teeny t-rex had been swapped - a one metre high bee
