Coastal Images Bawdsey

On a flat featureless day I went out to Bawdsey Beach on a workshop to take a series of long exposure photographs and these are two of the images. The tide was so far out that I believe you could have walked to East Lane along the tide line. This first image was a thirty … Continue reading Coastal Images Bawdsey →

Coastal Sunrises

In a blog that I have published earlier I asked a question of myself. Why do you like photography. One of the reasons is it gets you out in the fresh air. Well the sunrises which make up this blog certainly did that. In the first two I managed to get them towards the end … Continue reading Coastal Sunrises →

Photography an Art or a Science or a bit of Both

I like photography. Why, I often ask myself. Is is because it gets you out into the open air? Is it because it is a bottomless pit of spending opportunities to get the kit that you need or think you need? Am I ever satisfied with the photos I take? All good questions and none … Continue reading Photography an Art or a Science or a bit of Both →

20 mph for Woodbridge

The BBC local news reported that Suffolk County Council are considering introducing more 20 mph speed limits as part of an initiative to make walking and cycling in Woodbridge more convenient. Apparently they ran a public engagement project in the early part of this year and received 3500 responses. The Active Travel Team (new to … Continue reading 20 mph for Woodbridge →

What No Electricity

Featured

Storm Henk certainly brought home the feeling of being cut off from the world when the power goes out. Quite honestly I have been in a worse area when considering the number of power cuts. That was in an area of new housing development where if it was not a builder putting a pick through … Continue reading What No Electricity →

Oh What a Todo

Is it todo or to do. It is not to-do, which is a list of things, although the Collins online dictionary would have you believe it is hyphenated like Merriam-Webster, the trusted American dictionary. Oops this is even boring me so much that I almost went to sleep. Anyway, at the time of writing the … Continue reading Oh What a Todo →

20 Is Plenty for Suffolk at long last

I finally got around to reading the Parish Council minutes for July which as far as this site is concerned were quite momentous in as much it endorsed the 20 is Plenty campaign for Suffolk villages. They agreed that a 20 mph restriction throughout this village would be a benefit. This site has long supported … Continue reading 20 Is Plenty for Suffolk at long last →

Bits and Pieces 2023

20 Is Plenty for Suffolk

Came across some interesting YouTube videos. You may recall I wrote about a campaign to get a blanket 20mph speed limit in villages (20 mph Maybe, Maybe, Maybe) in Suffolk. Well this post is an expansion on that. There were two videos, one was a presentation that was given to, and this is an assumption, … Continue reading 20 Is Plenty for Suffolk →
