Stratford (upon Avon) looks great after its recent(ish) makeover. Shame about the nation-wide drop in cultural tourism.

Everyone needs a garden shed
The worries of the world to shed.
Becalmed among those tools and seeds
The perfect place that often seeds
Thoughts of calm from which to hide
From the growing wilderness outside.
No wars are fought in a garden shed
Just tomorrow's seeds ready to spread

The summer double edition of Prospect hits the streets (and the internet) today. Led off by a magisterial read by @OliverBullough on why our water companies are in the miserable mess they’re in

Why do we sleep-walk to oblivion
From war in Ukraine to the Palestinian.
We ignore the lesson of 1914
Which led to a conflict unforeseen
We are but one bit among trillions of galaxies
Gifted with a thin layer of air
What else will save the human race
But the noble art of losing face
