Great day at Cheltenham Literature Festival. Rich and fun conversation with the wonderful Daze Aghaji around what Morris can mean for us today. And a dear friend who I studied botany with way back (not David Suchet😄) came to grab a post talk pint. Friendly audience helped me sell out of books too!

👀 Wetheringsett, Suffolk A date of 1660-65 is suggested for the font by Pevsner ( @yalepress.bsky.social ), but I like the font cover made in the early 1960s. #FontsOnFriday
