In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Stour Valley with Dedham in distance, painted by John Constable in 1800. Very early work. He got better than this, thank goodness! Today is his birthday.

Wivenhoe Park in 1816, by John Constable who was born on this day in 1776. Great painting that always makes me think of Gombrich.

There is a story that Alberto Morrocco's wife Vera, seen here at the breakfast table in the 1950s, was constantly searching for missing bowls, plates and jugs that had been commandeered for a still life, what her husband called a more important purpose than originally intended.

Alasdair Gray clearly had an affinity with cats. Here are two of his cats on the wall of Òran Mór, Glasgow, one with a rat, one with a bird, part of his 2007 mural scheme. #Caturday

After WW2, John Nash settled at Bottengoms Farm at Wormingford, Essex, a secluded village in the Stour Valley - John Constable walked past the house many times going to see his uncles and aunts, often sketching all the way. This work from 1954 shows the barn opposite the house.

Donetsk, Ukraine, is facing increasing attacks. Nina and her family fled their home and are now at a transit hub in Stepove. At the hub, WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine teams are serving meals. Nina said her family enjoys each meal - no matter what is going on, a good meal is a chance to reconnect.

Alfred Munnings's work is of Langham Mill in Dedham on the border of Essex and Suffolk. This 'Arcadia,' as he put it, was painted in 1926. Thee London and South Essex Water Board later built a pumping station here. Munnings wrote: 'Constable's age has gone, ours is here.'

'The Skylark.' Between 1812 and 1813, John Constable painted several variants of this view of the Stour valley, looking from Langham in Essex towards Dedham - detail has been replaced with form and mood; the tower of Dedham Church is in the distance.

'Dedham Vale, Evening,' (1802) was painted close to John Constable's home at East Bergholt in Suffolk, the year he first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London - he was gathering the material that would fuel his creative ideas for the rest of his working life.

Fight! 😮 I'd never seen Puffins fight before, but the cute sea-clowns are pretty vicious when they fall out! 😮 This fight went on for a few minutes, they rolled upside down, using their feet and beaks as weapons and at one stage fell into a burrow! 🐦 #TheDailyPuffin #Birds 🪶
