Jukka SavijokiAt the Friend's of St Peter's organised guitar recital this afternoon we discovered we hadn't realised how much the player of a soft strung guitar can control the tone by how they pluck the string and we hadn't realised that the tiny Cretingham church is a beautiful gem with boxed pews.  The rain held off so complimentary wine could be drunk outside during the intermission and Jukka Savijoki's programme introduced us to much new music; we particularly liked the piece that closed the first half.

The Solar staff being brilliantThe Cretingham Golf Club was packed for the Framlingham in the Flesh calendar launch and though we didn't actually get to see a calendar judging by the slide show it's a funny and clever piece of work.  Impressive commitment from Mark The Perk at the launch the Solar staff and other Fram folks including a naked woman (understandably standing up in the stirrups) riding a giant white horse on the Castle Meadow; bright and clean photography so BUY ONE!   Deborah Stace  07881 911803

And oh yes, Mark The Perk told us last week's Carwash raised £500 for FAYAP.
