A scene from yesterday’s lunchtime show. @nicmiller.bsky.social is never knowingly underprepared. 🙂 Always a fabulous contributor. The show is now available on Listen Again at listenagain.suffolksound.com/player/wedne...

My November column in this week’s @buryfreepress.bsky.social. Grrring at shops playing Christmas music so early in November - plus some feel-better ways to approach the festive season itself.

The Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds, leading the way with banana plant protection. Growing banana plants? Protect them now. Winter is coming.

An unseasonal-esque glimpse at what’s still flowering in the garden this week. The begonias are now coming to an end. The roses are still in bud. #suffolk

Saw in a charity shop this evening. Couldn’t resist. Almost got charged £3k extra though as the code for my extra donation got translated into ££££. #joelycett #parsnipsbuttered

The Grinch riding on a unicorn. Now there’s something that channels my November into December cheer.

Seats awaiting seats.

No empty benches over on Platform 1 to Cambridge. Then again, they don’t have a waiting room.

My favourite photo of the week. I visited Jubilee Farm today for some recordings for the show tomorrow on www.suffolksound.com. Chickens will be making an appearance and yes I was henpecked. 🙂🐓

So Alexa asked about Christmas shopping. Looks like the standard division that we’ve become accustomed to.

Two architectural beauties of Bury St Edmunds - Theatre Royal and the Greene King brewery. Dramatic neighbours.

A really good space and so much needed in this cold weather. We have a fancy shed, where some of our plants are hibernating. Not much room though. 😂

It’s been lovely. One of the best things we’ve put in the garden. 🙂💚

If you’re in need of some Vitamin Sea on a cold late day in autumn, here are a few snaps from my route to and from the Suffolk Sound radio studio.

Doing work experience at the Merthyr Express in the 80s. 😃

And we all are in the Suffolk Sound studio, Beach Street, Felixstowe. Ho Ho Ho.

When the train is late on a freezing cold day, of course I’m going to give the train driver a cheery wave, showing my gratitude for their eventual arrival. In other news, Bury St Edmunds station now has bird safe bins. Bless them, the hungry local gulls used to chuck litter all over the place.

Friends who remember me from my “Rubbish Diet” days over on Twitter, you can still find me talking “rubbish”. Search for www.suffolksound.com and join me for today’s lunchtime show where I’ll be chatting with Craig from the Suffolk Waste Partnership about Christmas bin slimming tips.

Today’s whole new learning experience was visiting our local FE college to see how Architecture students and T level Construction students were finding out about greener construction methods. Here they’re learning how to construct a Passive Eco Wall.
