Son of Suffolk, iPhone snapper, leisurely cyclist, watcher of wildlife & drinker of beer. Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. Occasionally foreswunk. Not so much mainstream, more ox-bow lake. Not entirely serious. Life huh? En France

Paying taxes is punishment is it? Some might say it's a contribution to the infrastructure and regulations (like the rule of law) that enables you to build a successful business and, being less transactional, your contribution to society..

There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

Knot flocks touch down in today's Autumn Arrival Spotlight, arriving from the Arctic to join resident birds. Watch and wonder as thousands gather on tidal mudflats at RSPB Snettisham, creating mesmerising aerial displays as they move in unison.

😯 A glorious mash-up of time and place. I had to blink twice when I first saw this – a real-life Hobbit house tucked into the ruined west front of the Abbey of St Edmund at Bury St Edmunds. Heading back soon..
