Edward PhilipsMorning all. It was St Cuthbert’s Day yesterday, so here’s a belated Eider Duck, sometimes called a Cuddy Duck, for you all to take into the weekend. Have a good one. xx

OccasionalDucksIf you’re looking to mark St Cuthbert’s day musically, or just want to find what book a given Northumbrian Smallpipe tune is in, https://nsptunes.cciwebs.com/ is worth a look. Using it I discovered that the tune #StCuthbertsDay is on page 3 of NPS book 4, much easier than reading the indexes of my many tunebooks in the hope of finding something related to St Cuthbert!
Here’s how the tune goes: https://youtu.be/_bW2ZPTt248

Global MuseumHere's some cute wee Cuddy's beads for #StCuthbertsDay!
In medieval times, fossilised crinoids were collected from the shores of Lindisfarne and strung together to make necklaces and rosaries🖤
