1960  The British farthing, one quarter of an old penny, ceased being legal tender at midnight

We haven't visited Church Farm, Kettleburgh since Lucie and Malcolm wintered there in a Winnebago thingy maybe four? five? years ago?  Since then the caravan park, well sort of a field actually, has become more populated and there was even someone fishing in the pond at this lovely location.

On a summer's evening there was some pretty serious trooping going on at the bottom of the Kettleburgh Chequers' garden.  Not surprisingly with the recent continual and torrential downpours the audience could have been larger, the thesp with a clipboard had joined at literally an hour's notice and the clipboard held his

lines; and finally the cast was still short one person so a willing member of the audience was press ganged as Snug the Joiner.  Despite all this Mouth to Mouth Theatre entertained with a particularly fun production of Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream in a perfect location by the photogenic river Deben (which surprisingly is some eight feet deep here so be careful kids).

We thought the costumes very creative and looked great against the lush Suffolk countryside.  There was lots of engagement with the audience, Puck giving ladies in the audience flowers ... that sort of thing and everyone had a good time.
