A 35 (!) year old man has been #nicked after putting through 17 shop #windows with his #skateboard in the centre of #Ipswich, causing thousands worth of damage

Dear Friends,

These are #LongIsland / #NewYork supermarket deli potato pancakes. Prepared as a #Passover specialty. It brings to mind the small kosher delis that sprinkled #Nassau and #Suffolk Counties. You can still find #knishes, rye bread, salt-cured #pickles. Harder to find the genuine versions in the retail clutter. Even bagels, as good as they are here, have become bigger and fluffier.

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?
