This crust below was quite thick, and formed areoles. Neil later said it was <i>Lepraria incana</i> maybe s.s. He shone his UV torch on it. Little flecks in it went orange. This means that little areas of the lichen have the same pigment as <i>Xanthoria parietina. </i> (You need thin layer chromatography to do <i>Leprarias)</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46bxbtgmKuQ_Pvqm0bDQDA1GVb6UYEBJhDL3W143E14uxsZrpiuubai2ZI2oRMzePuU6zgTyCjyJTmRzuQOdhBCkluT65mJxnqsfMPSKhyphenhyphenzBkHBpZZAKPd8qE3wZXY8oH7sE_nM32Q1qMbl1Z7gnDscw6XujxQ77fazDw6nGNxZBRGjkQFqyrbn46RWlS/s3200/lepraria-on-wall.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3200" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46bxbtgmKuQ_Pvqm0bDQDA1GVb6UYEBJhDL3W143E14uxsZrpiuubai2ZI2oRMzePuU6zgTyCjyJTmRzuQOdhBCkluT65mJxnqsfMPSKhyphenhyphenzBkHBpZZAKPd8qE3wZXY8oH7sE_nM32Q1qMbl1Z7gnDscw6XujxQ77fazDw6nGNxZBRGjkQFqyrbn46RWlS/w640-h480/lepraria-on-wall.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Lepraria incana</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL3_3P8yAuefuQdt5QgcRWhd7Vnfox30AWGszzuSwSbc22rW4lsSqfJkYrqizAiVgmOMorHoIHWZB4F6xTxHTmO4v5w0cf-2h0vqv2eJfmvaI3GpHv2HnxQHvw1XHThnT69uU1OnkzE1Om-L6UFcaztLXrQjrE4wHAV2moTNABDhuvqv3sXc-31GCo4FBC/s3200/caloplaca-campestris-littlebeck-1.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL3_3P8yAuefuQdt5QgcRWhd7Vnfox30AWGszzuSwSbc22rW4lsSqfJkYrqizAiVgmOMorHoIHWZB4F6xTxHTmO4v5w0cf-2h0vqv2eJfmvaI3GpHv2HnxQHvw1XHThnT69uU1OnkzE1Om-L6UFcaztLXrQjrE4wHAV2moTNABDhuvqv3sXc-31GCo4FBC/s320/caloplaca-campestris-littlebeck-1.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Lecanora campestris</i> on the pavement there.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;">We returned to Cober Hill Centre and set up our microscopes in their excellent big meeting room.

The lichens people stopped after walking 200 m through grass to the first hawthorn tree and spent the first hour (till 10.51) looking a lichens on these couple of hawthorn trees and on a c2m wide, 40cm tall limestone ledge/outcrop in an otherwise agriculturally improved field. Pete Martin introduced the Newbies in the group to lichen structure and they examined the different lichens on these trees.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The lichens both on the tree and on the ledge were dark and swollen, full of water from the abundant rain on many previous days, and maybe from mist earlier this morning..

A few years ago I met <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Munn" target="_blank">Meg (Margaret) Munn</a> who attends this church and soon after went to hear her give a talk to a women's group there. Meg used to be a Labour MP in Sheffield Heeley (2002-2015)</span><span>. (See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Munn" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> for details - including now being chair of Peer Talk). Since then she has done many jobs including going and running some training sessions for new MPs and equivalent people in some newly developed / developing countries. It was a fascinating talk.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I was at Ripon and on Sun 28th Jan I heard that at Choral Evensong at 3.30pm she was going to be installed as Ecumenical Lay Canon at Ripon Cathedral.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So I trotted along at 3.25.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8P9J1tISo5rXxW7CvnFppR3NkY0KxGFsCVviWh2lI82si7ngB2KHKlhq16FUX08GcnImlLHYseuqfjqOwjw7ZOG0gGZO-rSfYDo4J9bWCKdCID6tlMPFNKwAxZ0KdIlAExOp55fGZzp4-eLsKyRbzDEslub02B5QjREE2PmP0XcVPIYAG3crN2J6woYm/s2522/meg-munn-bishop-nick-28%20jan-2024-ripon-cathedral-2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2522" data-original-width="2108" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8P9J1tISo5rXxW7CvnFppR3NkY0KxGFsCVviWh2lI82si7ngB2KHKlhq16FUX08GcnImlLHYseuqfjqOwjw7ZOG0gGZO-rSfYDo4J9bWCKdCID6tlMPFNKwAxZ0KdIlAExOp55fGZzp4-eLsKyRbzDEslub02B5QjREE2PmP0XcVPIYAG3crN2J6woYm/w534-h640/meg-munn-bishop-nick-28%20jan-2024-ripon-cathedral-2.JPG" width="534" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEo-mr3XZK38KSVeHpuBKbV56XnHUkun8DsIv6gXWsoPItjEYja0eSYYXvs_NQ3H6g_LIoDp-doyIXWuYKO03MUoMbrNqAV7VrRahIAahT-4Ohw5fTSBE2l0G8WxaZCUiZiVAlRomLAq8R0bdpH1uPDAcT481nWru5MVYPSDf35HzZywSPuBk9sW_3kajo/s2329/meg-munn-bishop-nick-28%20jan-2024-ripon-cathedral-cropped-lighterJPG.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2329" data-original-width="2255" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEo-mr3XZK38KSVeHpuBKbV56XnHUkun8DsIv6gXWsoPItjEYja0eSYYXvs_NQ3H6g_LIoDp-doyIXWuYKO03MUoMbrNqAV7VrRahIAahT-4Ohw5fTSBE2l0G8WxaZCUiZiVAlRomLAq8R0bdpH1uPDAcT481nWru5MVYPSDf35HzZywSPuBk9sW_3kajo/w620-h640/meg-munn-bishop-nick-28%20jan-2024-ripon-cathedral-cropped-lighterJPG.JPG" width="620" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">It was in the Choir Stalls. ..the same choir stalls that I had sat and sung in just 3 days earlier (Thurs) for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Service when the preacher had been Bishop John Pritchard (who now lives in Richmond Yorkshire) .. He had told -repeated - a good account of how many Baptists / Catholics / Methodists etc it takes to change a light bulb.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There were at least three times as many of us here today.. PLUS the choir PLUS some canons and more clerics.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let me describe the Choir stalls : To get to them you enter the main cathedral building at the Entrance and walk through it to the organ then walk underneath (or to the side of) the organ to the space beyond. The Choir stalls are the large area the other side of the organ to the main church.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On the east is the truly huge east window - really made up of lots of smaller windows - rising up to the distant arched wooden ceiling high, high above. Below them, brightly lit, is a row of gold painted figures- are they saints? Below the saints is the alter .</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On each side of the room (N and S) are three long rows of chairs facing each other. With side rooms behind each side where extra people can sit. There is a gangway / open space between the facing rows of chairs.Then further along, westwards, also facing each other are the actual wooden choir stalls (dark brown or black) The choristers - the boys wear white and the girls magenta/Midland Railway colour, as do the clerics. In the stalls near to us are seated clerics, then beyond, nearer the organs, the choristers, who also sit below the organ.. There are bright lights shaped like candles about the height of the choristers faces. The choristers have a conductor, the choir master.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As I enter I walk through the first three rows of chairs, across the narrow open space to the rows of chairs opposite. I see Meg dressed in a smart black dress as I enter and I am glad she sees me and we smile.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am sitting in the second row of three rows of chairs, near to and with the alter on my left. So the choir is a long way to the right, I have to look between the three rows of people to see it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But during the service various people march up and down the narrow gangways from one end to the other.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">/and being right at the front end near the alter I have a superb view of the (legal) signing ceremony and of Bishop Nick giving the sermon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meg read the Old Testament Reading - the calling of Samuel</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The service sheet was very useful. It had all the readings written out in full. So I am able to go over the readings now and indeed the bishop told us which page numbers to refer to. (So if we had been sleeping during the reading there is still a chance to see what he is taking about.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Bishop Nick gave the sermon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He pointed out that Prophets were not just people who magically divined the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They were people who understood the politics and situation and science of the day - and could thus advise the leader what was likely to happen next as a result of this.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They were people who had to tell the truth to the leader.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He told us us that the story of Samuel is not just about a little boy being called by God at night 1 Samuel 3. 1 - 20</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Read verse -- To find out what message God had for Eli, Samuels master, the high priest. (God's message via Samuel to Eli was I am about to punish his house for ever for the iniquity he knew and because his sons were...)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">No wonder Samuel did not want to tell Eli this message.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The second reading was from 1 Corinthians 14 12-20 </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Paul said ".. In church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others also than ten thousand words in a tongue.... .. do not be children in your thinking; rather be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I had opportunity to chat to Bishop Nick and remind him of his <a href="https://rainforest-save.blogspot.com/2011/06/bishop-nick-ascends-pen-y-ghent.html" target="_blank">first day in the Bradford Diocese 21 June 2011 when we climbed up Pen y Ghent in the Rain</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">He did come back two years later when we went on a similar - but lowland walk - <a href="https://rainforest-save.blogspot.com/2013/06/bishop-nicks-walk-on-longest-day-2013.html" target="_blank">when we walked from Austwick to Elaine's Tea rooms at Feizor</a></span></p><p><br /></p>Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02051664779466110798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217612508860264033.post-38995535092006363192024-01-23T23:23:00.016+00:002024-01-28T22:45:46.603+00:00Newstead Abbey lichens at BLS 2024 AGM Nottingham field trip - Halecania viridescens<p><span style="font-size: large;"> First - two lichens new for me</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

But soon after the Field Centre I took a detour and turned onto minor roads left towards Berrier and Eycott Hill. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>I will be returning to run a grasses course in September and </span>I wanted to see if i could to find some base-rich loving grasses in the road verge that I remember I had once seen. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I failed to find any. Not by looking through the car window anyway. The adjacent fields were mostly recently reseeded with ryegrass monoculture. I continued up to <a href="https://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/nature-reserves/eycott-hill" target="_blank"><b>Eycott </b></a>- that I had visited 20 years ago with a Grasses course and <a href="https://rainforest-save.blogspot.com/2014/03/eycott-hill-cumbria-bryologists.html">10 years ago with a Cumbria Bryologists trip (see my blog post)</a>.

I wonder what the history of the vegetation is? It did not seem to have suffered from the drought. I walked to the brow of the shake holes where the grass was much shorter - There were no interesting grasses. This did not have a history as a species rich traditional hay-meadow. No Quaking grass or Meadow Oat-grass or Crested Hair-grass or Downy Meadow Oat-grass that are found in the good bits of the Limestone Yorkshire Dales. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">(I wait for some reader of the blog to say "Hey you missed.... so and so!)<br /><br />I returned to the car then explored the road side verge.
