A grey afternoon enlivened by a visit to Poxwell Manor, the model for Hardy’s Oxwell Manor in ‘The Trumpet Major’, a fundraiser to get #Dorchester’s statue of Sylvia Townsend Warner over the line. #visiblewomenuk

Anyway, if you haven’t yet visited the #Velasco exhibition at @nationalgalleryuk.bsky.social , you’ve got till Sunday to do so. It’s an absolute corker (and it’s right next to the Velasquezes so…) www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I’m not really one for the mawkish Paddingtonisation of social policy but, you know, I’d rather have this than the current alternative.

I’ve seen fabulous photos of this year’s festival so I thought I’d share a couple of photos of the one and only time I went to #Glastonbury, back in 1985. The tickets cost £16 each and we bought them from the Virgin Megastore in York on the Friday morning as we drove down from the North East. 1/2
