More on the John Clare Festival this weekend…go if you’re in any of the neighbouring counties!.
@vic_spires @fiddesmark @TheLondonMag @JohnClareSoc Yes - the local John Clare Primary School kids parade their midsummer cushions across this week and line them up around Clare's grave in Helpston, to mark his birthday. It is always gorgeous - their wee trays of flowers bedecking the resting place of the most flowery of poets.

RIP Alasdair Macintyre. Studying Aristotle and the Rationalists as an undergrad, this book had the most lasting impact. More relevant than ever. @JTasioulas
