1961  Kempton Bunton stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery

Sweffling Village Fete returned last Saturday after being away for bit (so we're told).  Although we didn't see any tug of war like the last time we went, there was a bouncy castle, steam organ, welly whanging, trailer

rides behind a vintage tractor, coconut shy, face painting, second hand book stall, beer tent (Earl Soham beer of course), half a dozen Chevrolet Corvettes, burgers, teas, stuff we can't remember and despite a slightly dour day it was all going very well!
