Did you know?
Charles Darwin wrote part of his essay The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, at the old vicarage at Wherstead, which is now a care home. On this day in 1831 English naturalist Darwin sailed from Plymouth on board his ship, HMS Beagle. His scientific voyage of discovery lasted five years and led to the publication (in 1859) of his highly controversial book The Origin of Species which fuelled the 'creation versus evolution' debate. In recognition of Darwin's outstanding work, he was buried in Westminster Abbey, next to his friend and eminent scientist John Herschel and close to Isaac Newton.Today's Peninsula sunrise: 08.02

May the Father from whom every family, in earth and heaven receives its name, strengthen us so that Christ may live in our hearts, and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among us, and with all whom we know and love, this and every day.Amen
