earlier in Easton

Driving through Parham and Hacheston this morning you could still see where last week's snow drifts must have caused a problem ... driving through Easton this afternoon you could still see where last week's snow drifts must have caused a problem.

♫ Thomas Dolby, the Young Zulu Warriors and Devon Sproule at the very excellent Maverick Festival in 2010-08 and Easton.

One our fails last year was not catching Debbie Bond at the Maverick festival Easton.  This April she'll be touring her new album Enjoy The Ride in Europe and there are still some UK gaps in her diary. ♫

Yes, the Easton Harriers were originally called the Hamilton Harriers.

Harriers on the Market Hill Framlingham before what's now Country Vision got the mock Tudor half timbering.  Not unreasonable to assume it's the Easton Harriers.  We've fiddled with the image and we can see HARRIERS in the annotation but don't think it's EASTON ... it might be HAMILTON and once upon a time Lord and Lady Hamilton pretty much owned Easton ...

♫ For us the star of tomorrow's Suffolk Fun Festival at Easton Farm Park is Benhall ukulele goddess Lucy Sampson.  Hosted by Foz from Radio Suffolk the festival continues on Sunday.

Charlie ♫Pilot of the Airwaves♫ Dore with the Easton Rabble Chorus in Woodbridge tomorrow week ... she was in The Ploughman's Lunch ... think our chum Steph Busby rather fancied her.

It's maybe a decade since we saw an Eastern Angles Christmas show in Ipswich but remember fondly Ferry Across The Waveney and a splendidly pneumatic guest appearance by Lara Croft in another Christmas show.  Peppery Prods who put on the excellent shows at Easton Farm Park have dickered a two for one offer for the three preview shows of Dial M for Murgatroyd, just say Peppery when ordering tickets.

Easton pre-school may be a bit confused about when they have an anniversary due but Friday they knew how to run a teddy jump raffle without that dour chanting Yellow one four six that too often mars a social occasion.  Despite threatening dashes of rain the teddies jumped triumphantly.  Possibly the liveliest pre-school near the coast it has a few vacancies, a new lunch club and now takes children from two years old.

Easton Pre-School agm 7:30 tonight in the village hall.

We went to Easton farm park Monday to see the Suffolk Exhibitions show and particularly liked the lino cuts of Helen Maxfield and (even though they are a bit scary) the felt vessels of Tracy Hetherington ... but got seriously distracted by the farm animals.  It's the time of year when everything's having young with Suffolk Punch colt Easton William the unquestionable star.

An attempted break-in sometime last weekend in Easton.

Easton pre-school is looking for a part time paid treasurer. 

♫ The Rabble Chorus who rehearse Thursday evenings in Easton village hall now have a second daylight chorus who rehearse Tuesday mornings in the St Johns Hall Woodbridge, contact Kirsty Logan kirsty@therabblechorus.co.uk

Juliet Dearlove lives in Easton and her first book Atlantic Children is available on Amazon.

Working lemon cocker spaniel called Scramble has been missing from Easton since Saturday afternoon.  Info to ... too late, doggy's back home!

Easton today and the only gay in the village is already trying out for Suffolk Pride in Ipswich this Sunday.

Police are treating yesterday's cottage fire in Easton as arson with intent to endanger life.

Letheringham church fundraisers have organised an opportunity Monday to meet Meg Rosoff author of How I Live Now in Easton Village Hall.

It's the Easton Pre-school agm 7:45pm this Tuesday at the village hall.

The Easton Rabble (what a great name, you're already on their side) are a comparatively newly formed choir but already have some 30 turning out (including half a dozen blokes) and last night were laughing a lot and making a wonderful sound to these ears.  New singers of course welcome (don't have to read) and to get some stage time the choir will cheer up your event for free. ♫
