Gidday Des,

Hope all is going well with you and the township of Framlingham. All is well here and things have been quiet and not much to report on. We are at the moment at the start of winter and we are still looking for rain, it has not been great for some time.

The only thing I can inform you of is that we are organizing a Remembrance Day ceremony at our memorial in Framlingham. We had about 24 Men and Women enlist during the 1st World War from Fram and two did not come home. So to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the end of WW1 we will be conducting a service in their memory.

We also had a visit from William Wickham during our Summer, I do think that he was here for one of the hottest days we had for sometime up till then. It was certainly good to see him again at find out what has been going on in the big Framlingham.

Cheerio for now ~ Please pass on our best wishes to all in Fram.

Before Castle Brooks

We'd never seen that before! There were so many of the public at last week's monthly Framlingham town council that the other half of the room had to be opened up. It became clear why so many after the tc finished discussing the Castle Brooks planning application and most of the room left. For the record the tc objected to the Castle Brooks application because of the proposed road layout and the tc objected to the proposed Bibbys development for lots of reasons. PC Bryant reported 15 recorded crimes in May.

1924 Mountaineer George Mallory disappeared on Mount Everest

Lot's of exotic East European machinery at the back of The Crown this morning including a Russian GAZ army truck which was also used by the East German army, so in context for this lady to be wearing East German uniform. The convoy set off for Sizewell where Wartburgs and sexy V8 Tatras flaunted themselves in the much welcome sun. The lady had been joined by an East German flag and her boyfriend now in uniform. They told us they had a rubber Kalashnikov but had thought it best not to bring it, which was just as well as there are now armed police patrols around the power station. This nice bunch of people then went on to the Bentwaters Open Day and we're glad they got one good day out of the weekend (14mm of rain yesterday).
