  1. This book is a must read for anyone interested in colonial history, not just the history of resistance to drainage and enclosure in the wetlands of East Anglia, and it is full of eminently quotable passages. Even this sentence from the acknowledgements feels apposite: -

    'In our cluttered and over-stimulated world, keeping the book alive has become one of the great cultural resistance stories.'

  5. Tomorrow "REMO" in March are launching their #MakerSpace and "Workspace Pods"... March in the middle of the Fens is an interesting spot for something like that and will be interesting to see what they have there. I gather there is #3DPrinter and #CNCRouter stuff. Unfortunately not really in scope for us to make use of it at the moment due to life and stuff, it's a little far away to be casually useful (20 minute drive from home, not terrible, but I don't really have spare time.)

    Exciting times! After years of hard work planning, fundraising and renovating we are very excited to announce that REMO Makerspace Memberships and REMO Workspace Pods Rentals will be available from the 1st of December.

    We will be hosting an open day on Saturday the 29th of November.

    They're not great on info and social media, all I can find is a Zuckerbook post: facebook.com/REMOTrading/posts

    About a 20 minute walk from March train station.

  10. Join us on a gentle night of summer rain as we listen to the rooks and explore the beauties and ambiguities of liminal places.
    A night of crow song, poetry, and a guided tour by Luke Sherlock to the ruins of a church under wide East Anglian skies.

  15. I bought a stack of old local postcards. Cambridge (town not gown) and some from the Fens. Amongst them was a brilliant Fabulous Fenland card showing off a local onion farm.

    Anyway, on the back was the URL for the publisher who turned out to be this genius art gallery in a caravan which produces art that celebrates "overlooked and occasionally bizarre aspects of everyday life".

  20. #Fenland #PlanningApplication #FYR220844O #Wisbech off Stow Road. Cambridgeshire CoCo still asking good questions. #KLWNBUG should make similar objections. This could be a useful new route to/from the Smeeth but this development will also turn the #A47 Broadend Road crossroads into a roundabout which could be good or bad #space4cycling

  26. Half term so the girls and I headed north across the Fens and along a drove (sat nav madness) to Fens Falconry where we spent a very lovely evening learning about their owls and watching them fly.

  31. Another wet day in the fenlands of Lincolnshire.

    Trinity Bridge in Crowland is a 14th century triangular bridge that was built to cross the confluence of the River Nene and the Welland.

    I have yet to discover where the water went after the two rivers joined 🤷‍♀️
