A picture of my new job. Still writing in the days, but doing a few evenings a week for my friend Lee's e-cargo bike team. So I'm riding the bike on the left (a Raleigh Stride 2) around the city doing battery swaps and checks on the e-scooter fleet. Good fun, good exercise and I'm getting paid for it. #cycling #ebikes #ECargoBikes #colchester #Essex

Nice try but no! As I understand it "Humpty Dumpty" was a large gun mounted on the walls of #Colchester castle by the #royalists during the second #Englishcivilwar (1647-1648) which fell down and could not be reassembled. Hence the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King's horses and all the King's men could not put Humpty together again!" Similarly "Rock a bye baby" foretells the "Glorious" Revolution of 1688.

Very wise of him! He represents #Colchester - an urban seat with a university - so strong odds against him holding it! #Colchester has the distinction of being the old city/town in Britain dating back to the first century CE. It is also where the real "Humpty Dumpty" is believed to have existed. It may also have been the real Camelot - since its Latin name was Camulodunum.

Gotten on my high horse about the abandonment of planned cycle routes, and it's not even 8am. #Colchester #Cycling #ActiveTravel

"Colchester in Essex was the capital of Britain during Roman times. According to Philip Crummy, director of Colchester Archeological Trust, over 40 mosaics have been recorded there, perhaps more than anywhere else in the U.K."

Got out for a walk this afternoon, didn't quite miss all the rain but nothing too bad. Met some goats, saw some cows and followed an Easter trail through the woods. Saw a rabbit too, but it moved too quickly for a photo. #walking #colchester #Essex

Nice wander around Colchester today, went across Cymbeline Meadows by the river and it wasn't anywhere near as muddy as I feared it might be, though the river is pretty high. #walking #colchester #Essex

Haven't posted any walking pictures here for a bit, so here's some from this morning. Tried a new route south from Friday Woods and ended up at St Andrew's Church just outside Abberton, which was very calm and peaceful with nice views out over the reservoir. #walking #Essex #colchester #trees
