We've added Nicholas Crane on the Framlingham Market Hill to peeps in Suffolk.  He presents the tv show Coast so Fram gateway to the stars ... and that Ed Sheraton:)

British Championship roller derby this afternoon on the Beeb website.

It's the autumnal equinox Monday. 

Victoria Hall was murdered 20 years ago after a night out in Felixstowe.  Suffolk Police have two videos and other new information.

Advert slots above and in the twice(ish) monthly digest available NOW.  Tell near the coast about yourself with £11.95 but BTGOF, that's three months for the price of two ... first come first served.

The BBC is considering phasing out info on the red button .  That's a very great pity because for a tv not connected to the Internet it's news, sport, and information on demand and in a concise format.  Should it happen we will very much regret the passing of what started 45 years ago as Ceefax.

Throwback Thursday:  Thirteen years ago today des' dinners visited the then newly re-opened Otley White Horse and we inherited the bulletin board twelve years ago.

♫ Next month the Suffolk Singers directed by Claire Weston will present their concert Autumn Interlude at St Mary's Woodbridge.  The programme will include works by Macmillan, Rutter and Stainer.

Poet in residence at Barnsley FC and perhaps hints of professional Yorkshireman witty Ian McMillan will be at the Great Glemham phone box 4:30pm this Friday and then later SOLD OUT in the village hall with his chum Luke Carver Goss. ♫

Common Ground Theatre is touring comedy A Sidecar Named Despair! around near the coast, Diss Friday and the Halesworth Cut Saturday.  Take a ride up the comedy freeway with a tale of mobsters, missing gems and a mashed-up motorbike."

The twice monthly(ish) digest emails out this afternoon ... click Jess Postman Pat's black and white cat to get yours.

Blimey!  This year's Aldeburgh Documentary Festival has some impressive guests: him off the telly Paul Merton, her off the wireless Martha Kearney and him off the page Anthony Horowitz (we did read somewhere Horowitz has a weekend cottage in Orford).

Over the weekend at Artdog's second Art in the Barn (the Barn is in Easton Farm Park) we were very taken with Zoë Rubens objet trouvé type pieces.  We had a nostalgic flash of pleasure recognising a Brooks bicycle cone spanner in one sculpture:).  ArtDog will be showing early next month at ArtSpace Woodbridge.

♫ Saturday week in St Michael's Framlingham the East Anglian Academy present A Bavarian Festival: sparkling polychoral music by Lassus, Gabrielli and Hassler.

Theatre company Gibbons & Gaulier will be touring their three handed vaudeville style comedy The Affair around near the coast and elsewhere in October.  Theatre of the absurd, clowns, French farce, slapstick... a generous helping of stage comedy.

♫ Next month at Debenham Leisure Centre the fifth Rotary Club Ceilidh! comes with a two course supper and raises funds for charity Village Water.

Rural Myth 80:  Honest Suffolk folk call Stackton Tressel The Gateway to Eaven, (Eaven is a village rumoured to be even smaller and odder than Little Mutterings.)

  We have over 4,500 stock images available on Alamy.

♫ Tonight a trio recital at St Lawrence's Brundish in aid of the church funds.

The grand (is there any other kind) opening of the inaugural Plomesgate Fair is tomorrow in Great Glemham.  There will be complimentary beverages, a pop up tea room, evening concerts and the lithographs of Harry Becker (1865–1928).  The festival runs until the 29th of this month.

In the Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall the five day world premiere run of LIT's ends tomorrow, an east-midlands girl looking for love in all the wrong places.

One of the contradictions of the art world is that private views rarely are private.  Art Dog with some honesty have called theirs a launch party tomorrow evening at Easton Farm Park.  Work from Suffolk artists and further afield ... even Norfolk.

Nice to see film alive away from commercial cinema, tomorrow Debenham library is showing Evita and Friday 15 November with local interest including the ubiquitous Ed Sheraton Yesterday.

Outrageous to be thinking about Christmas in September but if you need to post pressies by surface mail/International Economy to Australia, New Zealand or lots of other non-European destinations last year they need to be posted by the 28th of this month... good luck finding out the dates this year.
