New Road a quiet(ish) Framlingham laneDriving a narrow lane near Debenham this morning we met separately two pairs of horse riders and a couple on bikes.  It prompted positive thinks of Brandeston's Quiet Lanes proposal... hopefully other town/parish councils will consider the same.

The Brewer has given us the bad news that the hop farm just outside Sibton Hop harvest Sibton 2006has given up and it might be the last one in Suffolk ... although there could be another at Monewden at least.  Either way we hope the splendidly industrial machinery at Sibton has found a home and the Brewer is modestly confident he can keep the character of his beers with other hops ... and the barley still comes from Brandeston.
