Went to Orford quay, in #suffolk today. Perfect weather. Sat in the sun listening to the birds. Son joined other kids in catching some crabs on the quayside.
A quiet spot this time of year.

An easy 10k run in the sunshine, this morning, looking for art and squirrels (squirrels not pictured).
#Wildlife identification boards have been installed at 15 rail stations across #Essex and South #Suffolk, thanks to a £500 grant from Greater Anglia’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund. The boards, which focus on bees and butterflies, are part of a project by the Essex and South Suffolk Community Rail Partnership (CRP). Stations with wildlife gardens or pollinator-friendly planters, maintained by community volunteers, offer ideal spots for observing local species. Jayne Sumner from CRP highlighted the importance of these mini havens for wildlife, especially as habitats face threats. Greater Anglia’s Partnerships Manager, Scott Dolling, praised the initiative, which supports pollinators and fosters community involvement, with over 335 volunteers enhancing over 10,000 square metres of land.

Signage at rail stations across #Essex has been upgraded with a £7,000 grant from Greater Anglia’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund. The Essex and South #Suffolk Community Rail Partnership (CRP) used the funding to install line-specific branding at all stations on the six rail branch lines in Essex. These lines, including the Sunshine Coast, #Mayflower, #Gainsborough, #Flitch, Crouch Valley, and #Southend lines, now feature unique logos on station signage to help passengers identify their routes easily. Jayne Sumner from the CRP highlighted the significance of the new branding in promoting each line’s identity. Greater Anglia’s Partnerships Manager, Scott Dolling, praised the initiative for improving station signage and supporting community-focused rail enhancements. The Customer and Community Improvement Fund aims to support local initiatives that enhance rail travel and benefit the community.

Good morning.
Regular listeners will remember that there’s someone who decorates the postboxes in our village regularly with seasonal #knitting and #crochet #art.
Well today I found out that it’s a woman!
I can’t pretend not to be slightly disappointed that it isn’t a man
Maybe I should start making rival toppers and start a turf war?
The #Coomber schools #radio cassette pulls in the signal from #MidSuffolk even with just its internal #antenna (it does have to be in a particular part of the office to get any reception, but it works better than many modern receivers) #FM #VHF #BroadcastEngineering #CommunityRadio #Ipswich #Suffolk
Monitoring the #transmitter #telemetry, dynamic #RDS and the audio on a car radio from #MidSuffolk (it is good, no overdeviation and the endstage is staying at a constant temperature of around 35 degrees Celsius)
The new #transmitter I tested last week was installed at #Ipswich #CommunityRadio today in plant room of the general hospital (antenna is on maternity block) along with a SIM for a better LTE network, we now have full 50W output and full telemetry/control available via the PC (which also does #soundprocessing and #RDS ), so I can check all this is working (including keeping an eye on the FM deviation and TX endstage temperature) from home or my office 20 km away.. #BroadcastEngineering #Suffolk
@MelissaBearTrix this chap in my county had to update *52* #clocks at his house for the summer time change #Suffolk #horology
Driving home from the petrol station last night, I saw a juvenile #rat run past on a grass bank between the exit road and some automatic car wash. I saluted the rodent (which has far less impact on the #environment than I do in my motor car)
A trial of #Wrightbus hydrogen buses for Sizewell C workers has launched in #Suffolk, marking a step towards reducing construction emissions. If successful, Sizewell C could order up to 150 #buses, creating the UK's largest #hydrogen fleet. This initiative supports the region’s hydrogen #economy, creates #UK jobs, and reduces local transport impacts. Ryze Power supplies the green hydrogen, and a mobile refuelling system is also being tested. Sizewell C’s goal is to decarbonise its operations and accelerate the hydrogen transition. Wrightbus’s hydrogen buses, built in Northern #Ireland, contribute to UK manufacturing. The trial aims to encourage further hydrogen adoption across the region. If successful, it could help establish a broader hydrogen #transport network in the East of #England.

30 high value #bicycles have been #stolen from a #bikeshop in Rushmere St Andrew (a suburb just outside #Ipswich in East #Suffolk) by sophisticated #criminals who disabled outside #CCTV and cut #Openreach cables (to prevent #alarms and CCTV activating).
Track has now had a formal prohibition notice from #WestSuffolk #Council and is closed until #investigations are completed
