Remember this eight-limbed buddy of the @OctopusAhoy! project? Betty the Bathing Octo-belle, decorated by Jane Stewart, has settled in her new home in the @BrightLido. Looking splashing; and it’s not the first time Betty has visited the Lido: https://t.co/oDvYCPK54O

Someone told CJ it was #NationalPoetryDay today, so he gave it a go… Why not share one of yours?

There once was an octo called CJ,
Came to Essex one warm summer’s day.
He strolled around Tendring,
He found it mind bending,
Just so much to do, see and play.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the @OctopusAhoy auction which raised over £50,000 for local charities. I had the great honour of meeting @anneschweg the artist who created Senda who @ActualRadioUK sponsored.

Everyone's favourite crew member, 'Sailor Buoy', has made one final port of call at his new forever home, Sailor Boy Amusements. We're sure he'll enjoy his new role greeting visitors into the park with that cheeky smile on his face!

Although the Octopus Ahoy! project is drawing to an end, the team just can't seem to stay away from our favourite underwater creatures...

We couldn't resist visiting this beautiful specimen, who lives at @SEALIFEScarboro, recently.

'Octo-naut' has landed safely at its new home with @ReemanDansie – seems like James Grinter has already become well acquainted with the new addition to the team!

All three sculptures designed and painted by young, Harwich-based artist, Alana Fensom, were bid for and sold at our charity auction on Thursday, raising £3,420 altogether. A wonderful achievement for both Alana and her home town...
