Yesterday marked 30 years since the end of apartheid in South Africa. It ended because ordinary people had the courage to stand up for humanity. Global solidarity was the answer then, and it’s the answer now. We will carry on marching for peace, justice and a free Palestine.

St George and the dragon, from a book of magic spells and incantations written in Syriac (Northern Iraq?, 18th century?). Given to @theULSpecColl in 1891 by University Librarian Francis Jenkinson. MS Add. 3086. #StGeorgesDay #StGeorge
Today is St George’s Day, the patron saint of England, so here is a magnificent wall painting of George fighting the dragon. From Pickering Church depicting, North Yorkshire, dating to around 1470. I shall nod to the bluebells today.
