Yesterday was the Suffolk Plant Heritage spring sale at Helmingham Hall, we think they have two sales a year ... yes, a proper journalist would have found out.

We were rather taken aback by the size of the sale with the Ipswich sea cadets marshalling traffic and moving things about.  We'd assumed it's a sale of rare plants but it's actually a sort of large pop-up garden centre selling from cheese to fountains to wood sculpture and of course loadsa plants.

Here's a 1914 day out at Helmingham Hall that Lady Tollemache might want to consider reviving.  Robust oarsmen in naval uniforms ...  that should attract an interesting new oeuvre of visitor ...

Rather nice 19thC print of Helmingham Hall on ebaY and Plant Heritage are back there with their plant sale at the end of the month.

Don't know what was happening in Framsden Saturday (the Helmingham

Hall Suffolk Rare Breeds was Sunday) but Amanda Frost has put some rather nice pix on the board.

Marty's Love Songs on Radio Stradbroke this morning and Suffolk Rare Breeds until 5pm today at Helmingham Hall.

Two jobs going in Huntingfield, the desk on the board SOLD, tomorrow night the newly formed Framlingham Rotary Club will celebrate gaining their charter at Thorpeness Country Club and Sunday at that most lovely of venues Helmingham Hall it's Plant Heritage's spring sale.

Suffolk Plant Heritage's autumn sale at Helmingham Hall next month, can't think of a more attractive location.

sa 23 my 09

In the absolutely magnificent setting of Helmingham Hall Suffolk Plant Heritage are having a sale with an estimated 40 stalls.

Helmingham Hall is the ancestral home of the Tollemache family.  The gardens are open Wednesday and Sunday afternoons throughout the summer and the whole thing is just exquisite .  Lady Tollemache (who cut a ribbon earlier this month ) is a garden designer and it shows from the colour of the garden furniture to the wild flower borders of the carefully mown walkways ... mind you it must cost a fortune in plaques.
