Elvis on a paddle boardHopefully you survived?  We managed an early start for the Felixstowe Christmas Day Dip and though the tide was so high (back end of a storm surge?) leaving only a narrow strip of beach Dippers were as enthusiastic as ever ... we particularly liked Elvis on a paddle board.

The now closed Framlingham BarclaysAfter 126 years the Framlingham Barclays bank closed the Friday before last.  The cash dispenser and signs have gone, they'll need a carpenter to close the lobby doors which have no keyhole on the outside.  30 years ago Felixstowe was the nearest LINK cash dispenser to near the coast and Aldeburgh complained it had no ATM for visitors wanting to spend money ... what goes round comes round.

Suffolk ConstabularyFelixstowe - Defibrillator vandalised for the third time

Police are appealing for witnesses after a defibrillator unit was vandalised in Felixstowe.  The incident occurred Thursday 11 February, to the unit outside the public toilets in Sea Road.  The unit lens was cracked, which is suspected to have been caused by somebody hitting it.

This is the third time in two years the unit has sustained damage – on the previous occasion in October last year the glass front was smashed.

Felixstowe Christmas Day Dip 2019Hopefully you had a good one?  As previously we enjoyed the Felixstowe Christmas Day Dip despite our Crocs keep filling with pebbles.  This year an Australian presence and ... then, like a football match, suddenly it had all packed up and gone.  Great support for the St Elizabeth Hospice and a ways off but you can already register for the excellent Bubble Rush next year.
