Your other option is going to Tchigolith Fenlands and poaching the floating eyeball enemies (both types), ghosts (both types), and if you’re lucky Malboro.
Rare trade for most of those is weapons you can’t otherwise get, and uh…ether I think for the common carcass?

if you have t done the Tchigolith fenlands story fight yet, bring a mediator to that battle and recruit the pig. Then raise wild boar and poach it for a ribbon.
everyone can wear ribbons now, be free

Tchigolith Fenlands, Chapter 2,, make sure you have an Orator or someone with Entice and Beastspeak or whatever it's called now., reset until the battle has a pig, very rare and that's the easiest spot!
Thank you for reminding me that I'm coming up on this story battle and need to reset for a pig spawn.

🎶 rice, rice, baby....🎶
Experimental trial plots in our Fenlands. Will sustainable rice crops be grown at farm scale there? Rice cultivation is associated with release of methane, but, like sustainable beef production, method matters.

UK's first rice crop ripe for picking after hot summer
Paddy fields are thriving in a quiet part of east England and might help feed us in the future.

Since I’m in Ely (Eel place or island) let’s make bird place-name of the day 92: FOWLMERE. OE fugol + mer. Wildfowl pool/wetlands. Only 23 miles from Ely and part of the same former fenlands. #birdsandplace #naturewriting

I've marked out in particular the sections on grouse moors, pheasants, grey squirrels, beavers & the Fenlands as clear evidence based examples of how much our ecosystems have been altered by a tiny proportion of our population.
The final chapter is a great summary & call to action...

Fen - Carrion Skies
Black metal with a progressive bent from England’s Fenlands. Inspired by the folklore and atmosphere of the region. Cracking band. Like a heavier Anathema.

Great to see that government WILL ban moorland burning on peat deeper than 30cm, and over a much greater area than previously
Big win for communities who've suffered the smoke + floods stemming from this Victorian practice
Only losers are ~150 wealthy grouse moor owners

イギリスだけ。見直したら動いた方向が良くなかった。最初西に行って南に行ってゴミ収集車にFenlandsで親指の付け根あたり。北に向かってようやく道路番号とKing's Lynnへの矢印。
残りのラウンドは楽。メキシコは下ってBufadora。タコス・レストランにEnsenada B.C.とも。アルゼンチンは公園をぐるりと回ってFormosa市云々。インドも東の広場にIndore。ウクライナはKoval'駅前。目の前のSLの車両番号まで地図に載ってた。

Draft blurb for my novel, The Phantom Flame: In the mighty city of Cant, high above the drowned fenlands of a broken Albion, servant girl Chas Berryman inherits an ancient stone of power. She and her friends are swept into a world of spies, rebels and junk-pirates. And the mysterious Grey Heron.

The Holga along with Pinhole and some SX70 photos have come closest to how I feel about the Fenlands where I live - steeped in history, social conflict , change and intensive farming , there’s a loneliness and often bleakness to the landscape.
And I had to make a darkroom print.

Any comments I've seen on it have been from Essex. I'm in the Fenlands and it was still super loud here!
Pretty sure that was a sonic boom that just scared the absolute shit out of me!

Pumping engines powered by wind, then coal, diesel and electricity have kept the water at bay in the Fenlands.
Living on the edge of this landscape the simplicity of the Holga and pinhole cameras are well suited to capturing the mood of the Fens - the darkroom is where the vision is realised.

This story was told by the old people and the young children who lived there before the fenlands were drained.

Sure - though far too few people really get where East Anglia really is, lumping it in with the Fenlands and the Wash or worse, that bit of the south Midlands over towards London (Bucks/Herts/Beds). I thought - but must doubt, on this basis - that Wessex was better understood, too.

68: We Were There: How Black culture, resistance and community shaped modern Britain - Lanre Bakare. This is a great and really carefully done documentary-style history. It’s centred on the 1970s-80s and deliberately focused outside London, with enough snapshots of life around the country to focus..

I’m always amused and somewhat annoyed when I see anti-solar and wind farm signs in the fenlands. What do they think is going to happen when the icecaps melt?
