First up, a #NorthCarolina#Swamp is recovering from a recent fire, and local conservationists and experts are giving guided tours of the area to show how it's going.
Climate change is, clearly, an awful thing and we must do all we can to help reverse the damage already done. However, this article about Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk is good because we must also do all we can to embrace the changes we're now dealing with.
Another plug for the new instance for #Norwich and #Norfolk users, Finecity.Social - please do feel free to join/transfer in/tell others who might be interested, aiming to build a nice local-vibe fedi server 😃
Very pleased to announce what I was working towards... I've started Fine City Social, a new instance running on #Calckey for people in #Norwich and #Norfolk, #England! Please do feel free to recommend to anyone in the area or with a connection, the more the merrier!
We had a great #Norwich#Amiga Group meetup last Thursday - 24 people in attendance including the legend that is @h0ffman ! Obviously Cecconoid/Eugatron got an airing...
It was overall a brilliant evening and a lot of fun was had by all. It was great to see so many different machines and what people are doing with them. Roll on the next one!
So today I arrived in #Swaffham, #Norfolk, #UK. The #Wikipedia page for Swaffham lists Stephen Fry @stephenfry as one of the "notable people". But on his own Wikipedia page there is no mention at all of Swaffham. So that seems a bit strange. But the page does include this quote on why Wikipedia is one of his favorite sites. Now I understand! 😂
A very old and rather ornate dole cupboard (with later added legs) at Oxburgh Hall, #Norfolk.
The concept existed from Medieval times. These cupboards or cabinets existed in grand aristocratic homes but more often churches. They were a place paupers could get free food from. Hence 'on the dole'.

It's not often you hear loud thunder claps without rain or other elements. Nice to get these even if on a handheld recorder and not my proper #sounddevices kit. #sound#sounddesign#film#norfolk#uk
