I was away last week. In between visiting castles and cathedrals, I caught an excellent gig by Neil Cowley Trio in Norwich. (Excellent, but not as good as some of the shows I've seen them play!)

Good News Post - inspiring stories, hope, positivity, well-being, and a happier outlook on life. [Unofficial]May 22Deer Rescued After Getting Trapped in Norwich Marks & Spencer Escalator
The I don’t know if it was the British F35s or the American fighter jets flying over #Norwich this morning…but it genuinely made me think we are at war.
And perhaps to all intensive purposes we have been for some time. We just haven’t cognitively realised what war looks like in 2026.
‘Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for #Norwich South and a leading advocate of returning the ##water industry to public ownership, said handing over #ThamesWater to the likes of Singer and #ElliottManagement would be like “throwing red meat to the wolves”.
“The fact that he is known as a vulture capitalist should tell you everything about how inappropriate this deal is … these kinds of people are there to suck the life blood out of our utilities and public services”
Unfortunately their school uniform is blue! But my kid did ask, ‘will we get to sing to any Green politicians too?’ And I reassured them they would - the councillors from #Norwich are mostly Green!
“There’s a deer trapped in an escalator” was not a phrase anyone at Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk was expecting to hear when staff at a Marks & Spencer department store in central #Norwich called last Tuesday.
“In #Norfolk, deers often get themselves in trouble,” said the sanctuary’s founder, Wendy Valentine. “They get stuck between walls and sheds, and in gates. It’s quite common for deer to get trapped … but ‘trapped in an escalator’ was a first.”
