Reredos, St Andrew's church, Helpringham A painted reredos by A. E. Lemmon from 1940. Open, the triptych shows the Resurrected christ above an empty tomb with an Angel of the Resurrection, and the disciples and two Marys arriving. A lot of gold leaf is used in the design. Closed, the scene is of The Agony in the Garden, with less gold used. Funded by Mrs S. K. Watts, in memory of her husband Robert Knowle Watts.

Splatt! One brave contestant in the Russian Egg Roulette championship loses out on his final egg. The event featured at the 2019 World Egg Throwing Championships at Thorpe Latimer. Rules: One against one. Six eggs but only one is raw - the rest are hard-boiled. The "Official Tosser" <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6196486">TF1340 : Official Tosser</a> presides. A toss of the coin determines who will take the first egg and they break it on their forehead. The loser is the one who gets splatted. I also got splatted in the fallout!

The spire across the fields The Church of St Andrew, Helpringham. It is a theory of mine that one purpose of church towers, spires, and pinnacles was for navigation in the landscape as much as for the glory of God or the donors. This theory is refined by the various civic towers in Europe, which like our churches come in a huge variety of styles. The earliest Ordnance Survey maps carefully differentiated spires from tower just for the purpose of fixing one's position.
