Framlingham camera club members Sue and Mike Westgate are showing at the Beyond The Image gallery near Eye all this month.

Mouth to Mouth's Henry V last night at Eye castle had real archers, big bangs (we were inadvertently standing by one back stage when it went off, ears rang for ages), smoke, flaming brands, a full contact Agincourt, laughs,

badminton, yer actual French and bags of entertainment.  Those traditional British day out accompaniments rain and weak tea in a flimsy plastic cup were missing but there was an intermission queue for the loos but as director, producer and Bardolph James Holloway pointed out to the audience There weren't any toilets at Agincourt!  Henry continues next week.  More pix here.

To quote Shania Twain (remember her?) I want bells to ring, a choir to sing, a white dress, guests, the cake, the car, the whole darn thing and that's what you're gonna get next week at Eye castle from Mouth to Mouth's Henry V ... Full Monty!  More pix here.

The motorcyclist who died in yesterday's accident on the B1077 was 49 year old Mark Corbyn, more information here.

1:00pm  The B1077 is closed at the junction with the A140 north of Eye after a fatal road accident involving a Skoda Felica and a Honda motorbike.

There don't seem to be a lot of Eyes in the world, one near Peterborough, but a Sleepy Eye in Minnesota and Blue Eye(s) in Missouri and Arkansas.

Learn broadsword and then join in a medieval punch up at Eye castle.

Our pic of Special Constable Graham Durrant on duty at a Framlingham gala so appealed to a picture editor as an example of a British volunteer that it was used in an English language tutor for German speakers published earlier this year.  Nowdays Special Sergeant Durrant is stationed at Eye and Debenham.
