Durham, North Carolina: Need some SUNshine ☀️ in your life?! Well then look no further than adoptable, ☀️SUNNY☀️!

“Hi future friends! My name is Sunny!

I’m a 4 year old chihuahua mix who is missing some of my hair but none of my personality and charm! I came to Home Animal Rescue with some skin issues, so my coat isn’t as luscious as it should be. But I’m on some meds and will hopefully be hair flipping with the best of them in no time!

I love going for walks and exploring nature! I usually go for shorter strolls around the neighborhood, but I’ve also been on a couple hikes with my foster mom. So I’m basically a certified adventure buddy! I’m so lucky that my foster mom and dad stay home with me most days, but I’m very polite and allow them to focus on work…as long as they remember to take breaks to give me some pets from time to time. At the end of a long work day, I like to cuddle up on the couch and watch TV. Because I’ve earned it, am I right?

I’m crate-trained and house-trained, so gold stars all around! I’m an A+ student, and I’m excited to learn even more things with my new family. I get along with the other dog in my foster home. She’s four times my size, but I still like to boss her around every now and then. One time, I met a cat…it was uneventful.

If you need a little something to brighten up your days, look no further. My name says it all!”

Are you ready for the summer heat? Parishioners at St. Joseph’s A.M.E. Church in Durham used these hand fans to stay cool during hot summer services in the early 20th century. The fans were illustrated with scenes from the Bible and images of African American life. The backs featured advertisements for the Black-owned businesses that were an integral part of Durham’s Hayti District. #durham #durhamhistory #hayti #localhistory #summer (at David M.

Lumiere this year wasn’t super exciting, except the vests in @durhamcathedral they were incredible ❤️

Many folk tales have been forgotten now, but not that of the Lambton Worm. Every northerner knows this, the story of a worm-like dragon, a witch’s curse, and the rebellious and surly heir of the Lambton estate.

It’s set in County Durham in the north east of England, and it tells the story of the “ne’er-do-well” heir, of whom his father despaired. He made an extra effort to be unpleasant, and on Sundays when he should have been at church in his finery, he donned his oldest clothes and went fishing.

On one such Sunday the young man sat by the River Weir but not one fish did he catch until, at the point of giving up, he finally felt a tug on the line. He pulled and pulled, and eventually a creature surfaced, a “long evil-looking worm” that he thought looked like “the Devil himself”. Disgusted, he threw it down a well and left it there. A passer-by saw it too, and said of it “That beast tokens no good”.

Years passed by, and the heir left Lambton to fight abroad, whilst the creature continued to live in the well. Eventually it grew and was able to climb out, and it would lie by the river during the day, and would go up to Penshaw Hill (pictured above) to sleep at night (they say the beast left an impression of it’s coils on the hill, which you can see if you look closely at the picture). It would feed on any living creature it could, and the whole county lived in terror. The old Lord of Lambton tried as best as he could, and some of the bravest and strongest knights in the country travelled up to Durham to slay it, but it could not be slayed - it was even cut in half, but it immediately assembled itself and was stronger than before.

One day, the heir of Lambton returned a new man, and vowed to his father that he would rid Durham of the creature. But first, he consulted a witch who told him he must fight the creature in the River Weir. He thanked her, and she said as payment he must kill the first living creature he saw. “If you fail to do so,” she warned, “the Lords of Lambton for nine generations will never die in their beds”. 

The young man rushed home to tell his father, and they planned that on killing the beast the heir would sound his bugle, and his father would release one of his dogs so that he might kill it and fulfil his obligation to the witch. He then went into the Weir and did battle.

The witch was right to tell him to fight in the river, for whenever the heir cut a piece off the creature the Weir would rush it away before the worm had a chance to reassemble. Finally, he killed it and the county was rid of the beast. However, as he sounded his bugle his father, overjoyed at his victory, rushed to see him, making the old Lord the first living creature the heir encountered. He couldn’t bring himself to kill his own father, however, so he continued his plan and killed his dog. But the curse was set, and, for nine generations, not one of the Lords of Lambton died peacefully in their beds.

There’s something I love about churches and cathedrals. It’s a shame no-one wants to visit them too.
