Coffee with Bonhoeffer.
Enjoyed a visit to this social enterprise with a big heart for its local community in Cirencester. Great project making great use of the old department store; ethical trading, good food, common table, pay what you can, worth visiting.

Really good to be back at #Tolpuddle for the rally after a gap of a few years, and to spend time at @tolpuddleoct.bsky.social, recently restored and finding new life.

Before Saltaire and Bournville there was Swindon Railway Village (with a pub on every other corner). Great conversation about the challenges and excitement of a community-led restoration project for the Mechanics Institute which has been vacant since 1986.

A Terribly Serious Adventure; engaging & enjoyable crash course in the philosophy I didn’t read as a philosophy student many years ago.

Great Somerford in the cool of the evening & Britain's first allotments.
Enclosure of common land reduced the amount of land available to the poor. Stephen Demainbray, rector 1799–1854 successfully lobbied the King to spare part of his parish from the Great Somerford Inclosure Act 1806.

Came upon an open door in Bath and wandered into a wonderful piece of charity history; St John’s Foundation established 1174 and still serving the needs of local people. Lovely buildings, fantastic history.

A new condensed version of Frederick Copleston’s 11 vol history of philosophy has just been published. I imagine I wasn’t the only student who relied on these as sole texts for many an essay.
