A Little News

After about three hours without power the trees around the electricity wires by the telephone box were gone and revealed a nice sign indicating that there is a public telephone. Good luck to anyone trying to find a working telephone in there. I must admit that it has spread a bit of light to that … Continue reading A Little News →

Boule in the Sun

Nice to see a posse of Villagers using the piste yesterday. It was interesting to see the different styles of boule throwing. Also they had a very impressive scoreboard designed and contructed by a Villager. It looked like a lot of fun.

Church Yard Smarten Up

Another good evening at the Sorrel Horse for the Italian night. A seletion of pastas and pizzas from the Chefs. Tastey and well cooked. Really enjoyed the evening and all the staff were friendly and attentive. Excellent.

Now you would expect that if your health care professional was still using paper and … Continue reading Time to Plant Wild Flowers →

Not sure of any cost that would be involved but the Suffolk Archaeological Field group is an amateur archaeological … Continue reading Village Archaeology Project →

The River Deben

Happened to catch Miranda Krestovnikoff's river walk along the River Deben on BBC's iPlayer. It showed what a beautiful river we live near. She walked from Sutton Hoo to Ramsholt. As part of the programme she met Robert Simper who has written the book 'The River Deben'. As they flicked through the pages of the … Continue reading The River Deben →
