And it's goodbye from him. Thanks for reading my tweets over the last few years. I retire tomorrow. You can find me out there on Twitter and on Linked-in (not that I really know how to use it!) if anyone wants to keep in touch.

Tomorrow will be 67 years since the 1953 Floods, which caused devastation along the east coast. To mark the day, we’ll be sharing the recollections of Felixstowe resident Audrey Baker, who had to evacuate her flooded home in the middle of the dark, cold January night

@last_of_england @TrvrCooper Many thanks - yes, I've checked that one and, as you say, there was no reference to Kersey Church. Really appreciate the reply.

@last_of_england Many thanks - I didn't think he did, good to have this confirmed. Thanks so much for coming back to me.

Fact-checking 1917: how historically accurate is Sam Mendes's First World War film?  https://t.co/EokkulPlPh

@PryorFrancis This is so true. Hedgrows are absolutely fascinating and home-grown natural wonders. Planted one at the top of my garden three years ago. All native Suffolk species too. A gift from my old tutor group.

This is a banquet worthy of Henry VIII.

No snow in Suffolk today, not like in Ingham in February 1916 when these men of the East Anglian Cyclists made the most of if! #Snowing

As next week is going to be my last week tweeting from this account, I thought I'd mention the Suffolk Archives Foundation, where I'm going to focus much of my retirement time. It supports The Hold and @KeyToThePast. Read about our campaigns at: https://t.co/pht09PrBk8

@ARALearning We did our first ever Takeover Day a few weeks ago - Year 6 pupils took over one of our display spaces to show what they'd learned from the archives about WW2: https://t.co/9z1iwgXjXy

This looks great. Just down the road from school, too.

A few staff went out today for a 15 minute walk over lunch for @SuffolkMind #REDJanuary2020 and ended up using the outdoor gym @ChristchurchPk We are all trying to be more physically active to take care of our mental health. Little things can make a BIG difference.
