Good morning and Happy St Cuthbert's Day to all at @StCuthsRC @StCuthsRCSport and @StCuthbertsPTA
We might be feeling anxious, apprehensive and a bit sad today but we will see lots of positives come out of this experience. For a start... (thread follows positives #1-#10)
We have totally legend teachers and LSAs and even without all the resources families are searching for and sharing we will all be OK because what the school has provided is more than sufficient. If you're not sure what to do, just love each other. Positive #1
The school will still be operating and social media streams will still be running. This is a great opportunity to join the conversation - please tell others. Positive #2

Today is St Cuthbert's Day @StCuthsRC😊
Born in 635 to a well-to-do family, St Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England. He decided to become a monk after seeing a vision in 651. You can read about his life here: lindisfarne.org.uk/general/cuthbe… #StCuthbertsDay (1/12)
He was a monk in Melrose, Ripon and Lindisfarne, which were all then in Northumbria. He became a hermit on Inner Farne Island near Lindisfarne. Later he was Bishop of Lindisfarne before retiring back to Farne Island where he passed away northumbrianassociation.com/index.php?page… (2/12)
"Many of Cuthbert’s miracles deal with animals and birds and his natural surroundings." #StCuthbertsDay northumbrianassociation.com/index.php?page… (image St Cuthbert's feet are dried by otters, BL Yates Thompson MS 26 fo. 24r, see link below) (3/12)

A very happy #StCuthbertsDay to all my followers! I know that many will feel in no mood to mark it with the customary jollity & celebration, but I am determined to keep the candle flame of this best of days alive despite all the gusting of the current terrible storm...
Originally - courtesy of @WalkerMarcus - I was going to mark #StCuthbertsDay by speaking about him at a special service in @StBartholomews. I hope, if @jamiembrixton & I can master the technology, to record what I was going to say. The service will continue, but online!
I will also be marking #StCuthbertsDay by tweeting about him over the course of the day. To kick things off, here are two apostles from the wooden coffin built in 698, 11 years after his death, when his body was elevated & reburied on Lindisfarne, & found to be incorrupt.
