After fourteen months of covid-induced silence the single tenor bell was rung again, half-muffled, to mark the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh in April, and also to mark his funeral shortly after.

On Thursday 24th February, I attended the 7:30am College Eucharist in the chapel of Ripon College Cuddesdon, as I often do.

My name is Jacob and I was born and bred in North Warwickshire.

I hope that most of you have now had one or both covid vaccines?
