Many thanks to all I met in Norwich yesterday.
Four events, all very different, all masterfully organised by Lesley Grahame (to whom special thanks), and an empty bag of books on the way home, thanks to Norwich Greens.
It was good day - and especially good to take part with 50 or so others in the (very cold) march to Norwich Castle to remember the life of Robert Kett, hanged there in 1549.
Thanks for reading this post.

This is the first time I have heard of Robert Kett.
Found 2 little poems on Wiki under ‘enclosure’ from around the 1750s which seemed to sum it up perfectly:
They hang the man and flog the woman
That steals the goose from off the common
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take the things that are yours and mine
