Stephen Molyneux is the Green party candidate for Fram and Wickham county councillor.  His through the letterbox leaflet has this bar chart.  If you were to imagine either the Labour or Con bar was twice its 16% then 32% would be more than Reform's 23% but by eye twice the Labour/Con bar's height is still less than the Reform bar.  The Green and Reform bars are out of proportion to the others.  We think it should look like this ... just saying.

We've added Rosie Holt MP at the Flipside Festival to Framlingham Ladies and yes it did take us a while to realise she isn't actually an MP.

♫ A joy last year were the mid-week afternoon Framlingham Concerts..  Well attended including local school parties the zinging performances were from mostly younger players.  The shows return in March with Douglas Tang and Lasma Taimina and with a caffeine buzz from donated coffees we're really looking forward to their and other recitals.

We've only just noticed but like Framlingham the hardware shop in Wickham Market (once upon a time miss.chief) closed last year ... once upon a time Sax had two hardware shops.

Six years since John Grose née Potters moved out of Station Road Framlingham and it's still empty ... it'd be nice to see it doing something useful eh?.
