I read Winnacott in the early 1970s, shortly after leaving school. I never imagined his ideas would surface in relation to concepts of democracy in the 2020s

One of my O Level (University of London) set books for Eng Lit, Summer 1969! I bought a copy and read it again last year and found it far more powerful and moving. An acquaintance here was at school in Salisbury when Golding was teaching there. A troubled man at times

and his activities in Venezuela in 1806 and how he fell foul of Congress, and the reasons given for his censure.

He had a holiday with his new wife in my Essex village in 1786.

So strange!

I've just been researching Hutton Poplars near Shenfield Station here in #Essex. A children's home project fronted by George Lansbury, opened in 1907!
