Tomorrow "REMO" in March are launching their #MakerSpace and "Workspace Pods"... March in the middle of the Fens is an interesting spot for something like that and will be interesting to see what they have there. I gather there is #3DPrinter and #CNCRouter stuff. Unfortunately not really in scope for us to make use of it at the moment due to life and stuff, it's a little far away to be casually useful (20 minute drive from home, not terrible, but I don't really have spare time.)

Exciting times! After years of hard work planning, fundraising and renovating we are very excited to announce that REMO Makerspace Memberships and REMO Workspace Pods Rentals will be available from the 1st of December.

We will be hosting an open day on Saturday the 29th of November.

They're not great on info and social media, all I can find is a Zuckerbook post: https://www.facebook.com/REMOTrading/posts/pfbid02djNwL16vvP9APfZNTjczgtTMRNYkdv6hywh2S36xbUoXiAoNLjDgeoTwiy32b7XQl

About a 20 minute walk from March train station.

Join us on a gentle night of summer rain as we listen to the rooks and explore the beauties and ambiguities of liminal places.
A night of crow song, poetry, and a guided tour by Luke Sherlock to the ruins of a church under wide East Anglian skies.

#WordOfTheDay - thing I learned today

A Gull is "A deliberately engineered shimmy in a watercourse to overcome unstable soil conditions
and/or repair a bank collapse"

I just stumbled upon this

The Viking Link is an electrical feeder from offshore wind to the national system; there is always rescue archaeology before building projects.

Big cloudy sky in the fens today

I bought a stack of old local postcards. Cambridge (town not gown) and some from the Fens. Amongst them was a brilliant Fabulous Fenland card showing off a local onion farm.

Anyway, on the back was the URL for the publisher who turned out to be this genius art gallery in a caravan which produces art that celebrates "overlooked and occasionally bizarre aspects of everyday life".
