On Friday we watched a fascinating programme about Bamburgh. Much of the early history of this ancient village on the Northumbrian coast comes from the writings of Bede, an ancient, well respected abbot. Known as The Venerable one.
After that we watch a fabulous Prom Concert - Beethoven's 9th, including the wonderful "Ode to Joy"
On Saturday I was doing more book sorting and a little card fell on the floor. It was Bede's Prayer. More Grace and Joy...
There is a Bede museum in Jarrow. I used to work with the person who was the first curator there. I have been to Bamburgh, but have never made it to Jarrow.
ReplyDeleteOne day I hope to visit the north east again !

DeleteThat was appropriate after watching a programme about Bamburgh. One year we holidayed in Northumbria it was wonderful. Bamburgh Castle is quite something and the village is pretty too. The proms with Beethoven 's 9th was wonderful. I hope you enjoy the bank holiday. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go to a prom in person. It's 45 years since I did!
DeleteThank you for sharing the programme link and the prayer. I shall watch the programme later and I see it’s the first in a series. Catriona
ReplyDeleteWe stumbled across it whilst checking up on something else, now I plan to catch up in iPlayer with the others!
