Some farmers live a precarious life. Tenant farmers are vital to food security. Squeezed by short leases, low returns and a broken supply chain, their future is precarious. Should we be fighting for them? #farming #FoodSecurity

I was little more than a toddler. Yet I remember the pleasure of scraping bits of #gingerbread off the greaseproof paper that lined the tin. Clare Sansom gives the recipe, aided by 2 anonymous elves. #Christmas #Recipes

Across East Anglia the mastery of the beaver as ecological engineers is already appreciated. Rewilding #Ambridge is only now catching up as with Sculthorpe Moor Hawk & Owl Trust. They have beavers & their kits! #TheArchers #beavers eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

Did you know England’s original patron saint was St. Edmund, not St. George? Kate Viscardi explains how his story is woven into East Anglian history. We should re-adopt him and bring a much-needed November holiday!

Still trying to follow back everyone who's following me. Well, everyone who doesn't look like a bot. Hi All!

Don’t be the same dusty ass you were on Twitter. Post your hobbies, your passions, talk with each other, follow people back. There is no reason for someone with like 78k followers to be following a handful of people. Don’t act like you’re an elitist dipshit here. We are nice here, to each other.

I sometimes feel small, as my colleagues use their skills and knowledge to cover important and serious topics and I write about baking. But hey, we all need something sweet at times. eastangliabylines.co.uk/lifestyle/cu...

Our Home Secretary incited ‘extreme violence’ on our streets. That’s it. She must go. There are no justifications for this. No possible reasons to keep this menace in post, defiling her office and putting people in danger. Anyone defending her is a disgrace. Sunak, over to you.

MORE GOOD NEWS! Tufton St blow two days in a row. First their failure to take over the National Trust's governing council yesterday, and now this. As the saying goes: oh dear, how sad, never mind. archive.is/rMjNV

Every political journalist, Peston included, must have known. They would have heard about the chaos behind the scenes at No10 from frustrated ministers and civil servants. Yet we heard not a whisper from the so-called 'mainstream media'. They covered it up as much as the govt did. They failed.
