Yet ANOTHER ring found in Woodbridge and a full time gardening job going in Halesworth.

That 26 year old man in Halesworth wasn't stabbed last weekend.

Today Matthew we will be mostly localising the weather ... as always not as straight forward as it looks ... sorted, Woodbridge done ... Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, Halesworth ... that'll do for now.

Two rehearsals going on last night at the Halesworth Cut; downstairs broadsword fighting (though rather like Dad's Army some were having to make do with sticks) for Henry V later this summer and upstairs Comedy of Errors for Mouth to Mouth's annual garden tour starting 17th next month at the Laxfield Low House.  More pix here

Today Halesworth in Transition are giving away in the Thoroughfare recycled shopping bags made by volunteers and Brampton Primary School; around midnight the ladies of the St Elizabeth Hospice’s Midnight Walk will be departing from Ipswich Town Football Club.

At the Halesworth Cut last night a sizeable audience sampled the real food in the foyer (we gave the olives and nuts some serious attention) and then watched the 15 minute film Diet, Media and Me made locally and including street interviews in Lowestoft.  Afterwards there was an open discussion (the average woman in the UK is size 14), more pix here. 

Rural Myth 19:  Sex and the City is based on Halesworth.

Even if the Halesworth Cut's web site doesn't know about it yet Mathew Horne (the not fat one from Gavin and Stacey) has been added to the bill for Friday's Hope For Haiti.

Guest celebrity at the Framlingham bungee jump actor (brilliant as David Blunkett in A Very Social Secretary) Bernard Hill will be hosting the first of two charity concerts for Haiti at the Halesworth Cut on the 26th February.

The Lib Dems have chosen local girl (brought up in Walberswick, educated in Framlingham, Halesworth and Southwold) Daisy Cooper for the futile task of contesting John Gummer's seat ... maybe if she promised to re-legalise hunting?

In Sibton on the way to the matinee of Five and the Mystery of Sherwood Forest a peacock (no, not a pheasant a peacock) tried to commit vehicular suicide.  In Halesworth an original (in both senses and including the music) Five was highly entertaining and the audience totally involved with much booing and hissing of the baddies by both kids and groanies ... one youthful voice advising those on stage to Look behind the middle tree!  We were particularly impressed with the youthful Woofy who stayed in character through out the show, can't wait for the expected Mouth to Mouth garden tour in the summer.

Afterwards we discovered that the fruit and veg in the Halesworth coop was possibly even more rubbish than the Framlingham coop and then drove home through falling snow.  More pix here

The Halesworth branch of the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (10th largest in the country) is to close.

Suffolk people will be taking the Country Seat in Halesworth today.

Two drugs arrests at Gig in the Park, Halesworth this weekend.

Some difference of opinion about Tescos in Halesworth.

Wonder what the story is behind the smashed window and gold car in Halesworth?

During March and April the weapons amnesty in Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth retrieved over 600 items, we find the ammo the scary bit ... well actually some of the knives are pretty scary too.

The circumstances of last night's fatal road accident on the Southwold road has sounded regrettable echoes of the recent fatal collision Halesworth way.

There were eight arrests this weekend at the Halesworth Gig in the Park which is a bit surprising because when we passed Saturday afternoon the woman in the red safety jacket would have certainly frightened us!

You can schlep to Halesworth to see Geno Washington and the Maverick Festival is back on at Easton Farm Park but slimmed down to a thousand alt country enthusiasts.

Has your football team mislaid its strip?  Possibly near Halesworth?

Police officers found Holly Goodchild safe and well last night.

14 year old Holly Goodchild from Holton near Halesworth has been missing since Tuesday.

Juke Joint/Barrelhouse pianist and new(ish) Dennington resident Maurice Horhut is doing his first local gig Saturday 26th at the Halesworth Cut.

What a wheeze!  Get your people to warm up the Lagonda and then motor over to The Cut, Halesworth.  Five and the Aladdin Stone is a thundering yarn full of good eggs who we've seen somewhere else.  Mind you Frau Wotsänamen is a bit of an odd cove, in fact she's an absolute blister ... but there is lashings of ginger beer during the interval!  Oh yes, it's on until the fifth of Jan.

With the current weather the new Teen Shelter in Halesworth's town park was getting heavy use even before Rose Baldry for the local Crime Prevention Panel handed it over to the Town  Council.  Jointly funded by Awards for All and Suffolk Police the shelter looks a little like an open ended Nissen hut, is hopefully vandal proof, didn't come pre-graffitied (that was arranged locally) and is very handy for both the skate park and a spot of fishing in the River Blyth.
