	This is Carl Wilson and Laxfield First Responders coordinator Laura Griggs demonstrating their pulse oximeter at this year's Brundish Makemerry. As their beat is very rural inevitably the ambulance tends to take longer to arrive so two responders go out on a call. Laura echoed Framlingham coordinator Leighton Page's observation that people are very generous giving money but what is needed most are more responders. If you want to help email Carl (remember you won't go out on your own:) or contact Leighton (Man in the Hat) on the board.

	Harvesting was still going on well after midnight near Brundish (understandably with this morning's rain); a lorry the size of Berkshire was being loaded at the side of the road and the road had a golden patina of spilt grain on sharp corners, indeed one S bend had a couple of POLICE SLOW signs.

	Brundish Makemerry last weekend was some eleven hours of non-stop sociability and jollies starting with the Makemerry in the garden of The Crown, on the way barbeque, concert, unveiling of the new village sign and ending up with fireworks. The Robert Hitcham maypole dancers were charming as usual, as usual the East African photographer got everyone to stand in straight lines and though the showers were sometimes quite heavy they never went on for too long ... Excellent, love it!

	Happy New Year! We think sanguine might be the word to describe the Brundish Crown's attitude to New Year' Eve last night, except we're not sure what sanguine means, and we may have missed a joke as the Red Wine Girls were drinking something red from bottles but it wasn't wine ...
