Your WI Needs You (Update)

On 7 September the WI needs a French drain dug at the Trust Hall. If you men or ladies could help with a little spade work then the WI will be most grateful.

Old Morris’s but no Horsepower

The East Suffolk Morris Men made their annual visit to the Sorrel Horse. Bells, Flowery Hats, big sticks, little sticks, kerchiefs, personal mugs of the Pub's finest ales and quite a bit of energy were present on The Knowl yesterday . The first mention of Morris dancing was in 1448 so it is a ancient … Continue reading Old Morris’s but no Horsepower →

A Good Evening with Good Food

Once again the team at the Sorrel Horse put on another buffet. This time it was Moroccan. My personal favourite was the chickpea casserole. I really don't know what it was called but it had chickpeas, other veg and a bit of an after kick!! The chicken was beautifully cooked and the koftas were perfect. … Continue reading A Good Evening with Good Food →

This was after three decades of ice expansion. … Continue reading More Snippets →

Floral Perambulation

Now, I was never one who has ever spent a lot of time in the garden. Well I once created a mower free front and back garden by laying a hell of a lot of weed control fabric and a couple of 2 tonne bags of pebbles. I spent a long time doing that. But … Continue reading Floral Perambulation →

Game! Not Really!

You cannot walk very far on the Peninsula without seeing a gamebird. Pheasant or Partridge they appear on the lanes or roads and then after a little indecision on whether to go back or carry on they shoot back into cover or take flight. Shooting on the Peninsula has been very much in fashion since … Continue reading Game! Not Really! →

Une soirée agréable

A very pleasant evening last Tuesday at The Sorrel Horse for French Night. As usual the food was delicious and the company perfect. Well done to the chefs again. More nights like that please.

WI and Ancient Boats

What a pleasant time spent in the Trust Hall last night listening about the project to built a full scale replica of the Sutton Hoo boat. The talk was part of the WI's open evening. The replica will be 90 foot long and will be built in The Longshed at the Woodbridge waterfront. We were … Continue reading WI and Ancient Boats →
