A nice view ruined

The sculpture at Station Square Lowestoft. What gets me is the lack of dynamism in the whole piece. It just looks like somebody has sat on it. It ruins the view as you look up the high street. They must have had other ones to choose from. Prehaps it looked good as a drawing. But then you don't choose architecture just on the basis on the quality of the drawing? What is the commisioning method behind this process? Alot of questions but who do you ask them to? On whoose behalf was this made? Who had the final say?

A Bag For Life



For the duration of your stay here on Planet Earth plc. Wonder what the actual impact of transporting the bags in an articulated truck to the supermarket is?

Who am I?

A trick question because I already know.

Over the years in the depths of East Anglia I've met alot of people. Found something that connects them to the deepest depths of our history, through the present and onto the future. Grassroots culture is alive and well. Its still doing what it's good at in celebrating life. Cultural practices that some had thought had long disappeared still exist. Somewhere, out there, other people will be doing this somewhere else for love of it. Everyone has a story to tell and a view point that needs presenting.

The Impact of Living in Society


A high cost

What a load of rubbish!


This can't carry on.
Due to a variety of factors there is an ongoing issue of fly tipping in the borough of Yarmouth. As shown here in South Yarmouth.

Diminished



One of the twenty bands playing in the Lowestoft area in support of the www.saveourseagull.org.uk campaign.
As part of a rainy thursday night it's tradition in lowestoft to see a band At the Plough and Sail I witnessed two sets from this Pakefield four piece. one highlight that I liked was the medley that started the second set. It isn't easy playing selections and splicing them together in a recognisiable way without detriment to the original songs. Playing covers isn't so easy in a pub on a rainy thurday evening. but a lot dryer than playing outside even with covers.

No bum notes

No broken strings.
