| Rendham ~ Framlingham |
| sa 31 de 11 | A couple of months ago when we first noticed a roped off bit at the back of the Snape Maltings we foolishly thought Oh, they're going to posh up the car park but no, it's Ten stunning river view homes ... reckon you'd need a spirit level and a road map as well as binoculars to see a river from there.
|
| th 22 de 11 | Admittedly a bit useless to tell you after the event but yesterday was the last day of Suffolk Exhibitions' Christmas show at the the Snape Maltings ... they'll be back in nearthecoast in the new year.
|
| The Snape Maltings farmers' market is tomorrow this week and to avoid the satanic grip of trapped indoors for Christmas Save Stradbroke Library are hosting A Christmas Carol Tuesday in Stradbroke community centre.
|
| we 14 de 11 | For six years we thought we had seen the Old Glory Molly Dancers at a Framlingham street fayre but at the Snape Maltings Sunday we realised that had been the East Suffolk Morris Men. Mind you we didn't get to see much mollying Sunday either as we arrived just as they took a break and then Daddy Christmas was spotted in the distance. Old Glory are sufficiently intriguing, and just a little bit scary, that we will try again this Saturday night at either the Eastbridge Eel's Foot or the Aldringham Parrot and Punchbowl. |
| sa 19 no 11 | Fancy your chances on Strictly? Don't reckon you'd live long with the Sidney Dance Group, can't believe how hard those dancers work. The show has choreography that on occasion intentionally overwhelms you with the sheer complexity of what's happening on stage and there are curiously poignant computer graphics too. Second and last show tonight at the Snape Maltings and then they move on to Barcelona. |
| we 19 oc 11 | We thought we didn't like Benjamin Britten's music but the dress rehearsal of his only comic opera Albert Herring at the Snape Maltings yesterday was a stunner. Re-set in the 1950s it looked luscious, was actually funny and a bit sexy too. A very real joy to sit just a few feet from eight operatic singers giving it some real welly ... very rock'n roll ... if not actually rock'n roll. It's on all week SEE IT!

| fr 09 se 11 | Tomorrow evening the Cassia String Quartet are playing Haydn and Kodaly in Rendham and there's drinks and a finger buffet too ... alternatively the Trianon Orchestra have an interesting looking prog at the Snape Maltings including Carmina Burana.
|
| fr 26 au 11 | At the Snape Proms last night Dennis Rollins Badbone Co jazz/funk six piece cranked it out with us particularly enjoying Mark Ellis' alto and the band's arrangement of Stephen Stills' Love The One You're With ... a bit of Bill Withers can't be bad either ... and on the way home we got excellent freebie leftover tuck from Anglian Events at the Campsea Ashe Dog and Duck.

| fr 01 jl 11 | Deben Inns whose pubs include the Snape Plough and Sail and the Pin Mill Butt and Oyster are re-opening the Melton Coach and Horses (no, not all their pubs have and in the name) and all staff WANTED. |
