WATCH: Miniature Cruise Liner: Hebridean Sky passes Felixstowe and heads for Ipswich, part 1; around 10.30am, 6 September 2023.
With just 59 2-person suites, Hebridean Sky is one of the world's smallest cruise ships, and therefore one of the most exclusive and expensive. She can also visit ports which are simply too small to accomodate the mass market megaships.

Part 2, "Arrival in Ipswich", online soon.

Piper PA-34-220T Seneca III at the former Ipswich Airport, in the '90s. This aircraft was not supposed to be there, but it was partaking in an attempt to try to keep the airport open. #Photography #PhotographyOnMastodon #Aircraft #Aviation #Ipswich #PiperSeneca

Stuck in 1 hour traffic jam on #A14 today (and ended up having to go back to #Ipswich in full rush hour traffic rather than where I wanted to be, as all the alternative routes were also gridlocked) - a ladder came loose from one lorry; this speared a tanker and diesel was spilt across 1km of the live lane, and around the same area another vehicle clouted the central reservation - whole highway closed for 3 hours..

@HazelWood Hunt sabs also worked with a humane wildlife rescuer (and a cat rescue charity) to rescue a lost pet #skunk in #Ipswich earlier this year!

You can travel on vintage #buses in #Ipswich this Sunday if you visit the Transport Museum (I think you need a ticket for the museum but can then ride the buses as much as you want back and forth).
They did this in early 1990s but the vintage buses were just run as normal service buses (the Transport Museum wasn't open to the public then)
I remember randomly getting on one in Norwich Road at it looked interesting/unusual..

A lorry driver was nicked on the A12 just outside #Ipswich #Suffolk (unclear if this was on the National Highways bit or the detrunked rural area!) after being stopped for an insecure load of bricks (0 securing straps on the wagon!) and found to be under the influence of cocaine..

WATCH: General Cargo Vessel Aasfoss passes under the Orwell Bridge making for the ABP Port of Ipswich, on the afternoon of Friday, 7 July 2020.
Good to see this 2022-built ship heading up to Ipswich - although so many people get very excited to see massive container ships at Felixstowe, full of consumer goods of all sorts, it's ships like this that help to keep humanity fed!

The #Ipswich waterfront experience:
Navigate one way system to find an unpaved, expensive carpark. Figure out how many hours you can afford.
Lovely walk along beautiful marina. Wait 15m in the hot sun for a seat at an understaffed café. Give up. Find another café. Buy margarine filled bacon roll which has a bit of mould in it. Get refund. Drive home having paid for too many hours in the carpark.
