The Grand Henham Steam Rally first started in 1975 and has grown into an event encompassing much more than just steam powered attractions. Participants in the event can number over 1200 and include a wide selection of classic and vintage vehicles and equipment, various displays and demonstrations in the arenas, a classic themed funfair, a variety of sellers and food stalls as well as the many steam powered vehicles.

Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve

Hidden away behind the main Lowestoft to Norwich road, down a small track which is situated close to a large housing estate is the beautiful Carlton Marshes.

It comes alive during the summer months with wild flowers and grazing cattle and is a haven for wild animals all year round. Common sites along the marked footpaths, at various times, include swans, herons, marsh harriers, barn owls, dragonflies, bats and much more.

The idea behind this blog is to showcase interesting businesses, organisations, people and events in the Lowestoft, Waveney and wider East Anglian area.

The posts are likely to develop as the blog matures and will cover a range of topics and subjects but the underlying focus is to provide a selection of photographs and a short narrative on a single subject at a time.

My hope is that this blog can become a resource for those in the Waveney area, raising awareness of events and organisations which deserve a little free publicity, also for people visiting the area or looking to relocate here.

I feel that it is important that the blog and the content is created and run voluntarily. Any reviews or articles on the site are created because the author feels that they are worthy of attention, not because they have been commissioned.

If you know of an event, organisation or person that could make an interesting subject for the blog, please get in touch.

Thank you for visiting 365east, your comments and input are very welcome.
