The Phone Box and the S.V.A.
I see that we have a working phone box thanks to just an email from the Village Association to BT. It still looks quite sad but I also understand from their Facebook page that the Village Association has authority from BT to clean up the box. Good luck with that one people!!! It has been … Continue reading The Phone Box and the S.V.A.
A Few More Centimetres of Sea
Regular readers of this blog would have seen the post 'A Few More Feet of Sea'. It outlined the impact on this area if the sea continues to rise at its expected rate. The East Anglian Daily Times have published a similar article, 'Could Suffolk's coast be at greater risk of flooding in 30 years?' … Continue reading A Few More Centimetres of Sea
Social Media
I frequently wonder why I do social media. By that, I mean Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat etc. For me, it started with Facebook and went on from there. Most of it is harmless nonsense, but my worry is that some of the people (not many I would add) I am interfacing I would happily cross the … Continue reading Social Media

The problem is that we have all got so used to our creature comforts. These use energy. The extended power cut … Continue reading Hottest Month on Record
Last Day of Summer?
Got to be one of the last warm days of the Autumn. The hot weather is being drawn up from the Mediterranean and it will not last long. Perfect day for a walk to the Deben and Ramsholt Dock. They will need those coats if you believe the prediction of a bad winter. The dappled … Continue reading Last Day of Summer?
Now I Know What a French Drain is!
Well it is shown in the photos. 14 villagers turned up with spades, barrows and muscles which I should imagine are now aching. With the help of a mini digger they dug a trench around the Trust Hall which was filled with stone. That should keep the damp away. Refreshments were provided and were most … Continue reading Now I Know What a French Drain is!
