Another England ...

We're lolling upon the comradely grass at Tolpuddle - 

A man's wearing a tee shirt which says more blacks more dogs more Irish - 

If we sit outside the beer tent we're bound to see Varnsey Anne says - 

A slim woman behind us is shaping a bamboo flute - 

In the Henry Beard tent, there's a blackboard saying veggie Jeremy Corbyn from 5 pm - 

A storyteller's wearing a kilt - 

I can hear guitars - 

The band's on stage in the Martyrs Marquee - 

We've just seen a film in a vintage mobile cinema - 

We're wearing yellow wristbands - 

Here, for a long weekend, there's another England -
