It's freezing outside.
For many it's back to work / school / study.
Here's some warm sunshine to fill your ears.

Episode 223 - Birdsong in deep forest ambience (50mins)

On a steep rough path by a stream, pristine quiet. Just the wind in the firs and birdsong.

The festive content you need today...
We asked our teams to share some of the sad* Christmas decorations in the collections they help care for.

*Note: Not all are sad. Some are ever so slightly odd and all are weirdly wonderful.

Many years ago I entered a photo competition.

The only judge was Martin Parr. He put my photo in the final six which went to the public vote. He'd been one of my photo heroes and his work continues to inspire me.

So sad to hear he has died.

#GivingTuesday
Giving Tuesday feels like a good day to show a little love to Colchester’s stories. If something in our collections makes you smile, you can adopt it, or gift an adoption to someone who’d love it.

Shocking stats about care leavers in the new homelessness figures, shared here by @becomecharity.org.uk

4,610 care leavers in England aged 18–20 faced homelessness in 2024/25

#EndTheCareCliff
Too many young people are being expected to leave care before they feel ready, just at a time in their life when they need stability the most.

The care system is broken and we need the Government to #EndTheCareCliff.
