East Suffolk

So the Care Choices Service is a service that is led by clinicians, so led by Dr Lindsay Crockett, who is GP partner, but also on the commissioning board for Norfolk and Suffolk ICB in terms of frailty and end-of-life care.

And And alongside our clinical lead, Kate Barber, who is also the clinical nurse specialist and coordinator for the Motor Neurone Disease Service across Ipswich and East Suffolk as well.

And myself and my background in speech and language therapy.

We train and we support and introduce volunteers to patients who are referred to us across Ipswich and East Suffolk to allow those people to understand that they have choices in their care At a time when there might be an emergency decision that is needed, we also train people to discuss people's thoughts and feelings about resuscitation.

So that can be shared with the GP.

The GP can then upload it onto the system and share it more widely with everybody involved in their care.

It just meant we had to manage things in a slightly different way and more pragmatically.

And we're talking very small number of referrals, actually, over this period.

But anyway, let's not dwell on that.

So we are now joined by Tim Pratt from Wantiston Hall Farms in Suffolk, who is a farm manager on a predominantly arable and vegetable farm, and Kate Mayne from Shropshire, who farms a 300-acre mixed farm with her family.

But first up, we will hear from the NFU's water expert, Mark Betson.

We've seen some really challenging weather conditions this year.

Yeah, I guess that diversity in the rotation adds a bit of resilience to your business.

And Tim, how about your farm? How's the drought affected

your business? Yeah, we farm right on the east coast of Suffolk, so very light, sandy soils.

We know we're going to be irrigating every year.

In the not too distant future, you might even be able to search by postcode.

Obviously constituencies change boundaries all the time, but if you don't know the name of the constituency, but you know that your ancestors lived, I don't know, in East Suffolk, you could put in the postcode for a town in East Suffolk, and it will pull up the relevant constituencies.

What about guides or anything like that to help people use them?

Again, with the new website, there will be guides, and we will talk people through the way in which The History does its work, how we display particularly that genealogical information at the top of biographies, our references.

Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.

The air was sharp with salt and oil as the B-24 Liberator taxied along the windswept runway at RAF Furness Field in East Suffolk.

It was the 12th of August, 1944, and the war had entered its bloodiest logic.

Each mission a gamble, every pilot an expendable part in a machine that never quite learned the value of a single human life.

It was during World War II that she reportedly became romantically involved with Joe Kennedy Jr., the first son of the Kennedy dynasty.

Friends described their relationship as serious, even heading toward engagement.

But when Joe Jr. died in the skies over East Suffolk in 1944, Athalia's connection to the Kennedys ended abruptly.

She was not welcomed into the grieving inner circle.

I mean, going...

I l- I'm v- lucky enough to live in the middle of nowhere in East Suffolk and, you know, taking...

When I was sort of stuck, I'd take the dogs for a walk.

Mm.
