As you will see, along with my new married surname (‘Smith’), I’ve decided to revert back to using my given name, Alianore (pronounced ‘Eleanor’). This is for a number of reasons, some of which I thought it might be nice to share.

Guest contributor @alianoree considers how an Anglican Morning Prayer relates to Larissa, one of 7 million Ukrainian refugees to cross the border. Another inspiring story of rescue and redemption from the @IJMUK team. player.captivate.fm/episode/…

Hi there @currys - I'm having a real issue having a washing machine delivered by your team, and your customer service is being no help at all. I have an infant and I need this rectified ASAP. How can you help me?

Why are toddlers so busy all the time? They walk around like a businessman late for a very important meeting but their intended activity is to play with some recycling and lick the wall?? Make it make sense

A privilege as ever to be on @synod, and to speak on behalf of the laity in Southwark diocese today. My speech from 1.18.50 if you want to see what LLF and a Fortnum's port and stilton hamper have in common: youtube.com/live/t4xxFhKxt5E…

I've long been of the opinion that @AlCutting is the loveliest man in the Church of England, so absolutely *delighted* to discover this morning that he will be the new Bishop of Woolwich 🥳 gov.uk/government/news/appoi…

Appointment of Suffragan Bishop of Woolwich: 6 June 2024

The King has approved the nomination of The Venerable Alastair Cutting, Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich, for nomination to the Suffragan See of Woolwich in the Diocese of Southwark.

After more than 15 years of silence about the injustice that meant - amongst other things - my family lost our home, I'm pleased to see this statement released by @WycliffeHall today. A step in the right direction. wycliffe.ox.ac.uk/article/re…

Back over with @liccltd today, arguing that Taylor Swift is a modern day secular psalmist. (With thanks to @alysrtarr for an excellent title suggestion)

Have you had #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment on repeat? In a world where love is the ultimate goal – or even a god – this album's a quest for redemption amidst heartbreak. But is Taylor's version big enough? Read this #ConnectingWithCulture by @alianoree: bit.ly/3UJ2mG3

Look I'm sorry but publishing a report you literally wrote yourself is just as (if not more) worthy of outlandish celebration than half the stuff society insists we make a song & dance about. #notjustringsandbumps

Especially when they're friends who are committed to making flowers & celebrations 'not just for rings and bumps' but also for think tank publications.

My husband just tried to tell me that my 30th birthday balloons are 'deflated' and I should 'take them down' and he's never been more wrong about anything in his life.

Just traumatised my 87 year old Grandmother by pointing out that the little piggy that went to market was most likely *not* going shopping. Everyday's a school day, I guess.
