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
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!
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.

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

They looked after the rider, and took control of the horse, until the Ambulance arrived. The rider who was bleeding quite profusely is understood than to be … Continue reading Horse News

My favourite church on the Peninsula is All Saints at Ramsholt. I still think our own St Margarets is lovely but, as someone put it, All Saints is 'hauntingly beautiful'. It does not even have a proper road to it just a tarmacked lane often covered with the soil washed off the fields which are … Continue reading A Lovely Church in Lonely Place
