Framlingham

In the miserable wet the 2019 Women's Tour passed through Framlingham today as one single not particularly interested peloton.  In the evening on the telly (our word those presenters are annoying) Brit Abby-Mae Parkinson animated the race staying away for 20+k and then caught inside the final two kilometers.  Her bike frame looks so small there's barely room for a bottle cage.:)

♫ Intriguing concert hosted by the East Anglian Academy in St Mike's Framlingham this afternoon.

Don't know who was getting married in St Mike's Framlingham today and despite the rain the couple looked very happy but there was a mixed effect.

Last year in Framlingham.

 JOB  Indoor Pig Stockperson wanted (presumably near) Framlingham.

Remember Hassan who opened the Pizza Grill in Bridge Street Framlingham?  These days he is the California Grill in Ipswich but today was on the Castle Meadow for the Gala Fest with his baby son Hassan Jnr.  The paella looked wonderful and judging by the queue probably was.  Lots of smiles and as always the Gala Princesses looked and were princessly.

Very pleased to welcome back supporter (next available slot 8th July) Man in the Hat.  Not surprisingly tomorrow the Framlingham Gala Fest will again be deploying his fine tenor chest voice at the sports club.

European elections TODAY though like the council elections you'd be hard pressed to notice.  So far around Stately Terrace Framlingham a difference of opinion and two leaflets from the Greens.

A very good job has been made of tidying up the fallen oak in Framlingham, an impressive before and after.

European elections Thursday though like the council elections you'd be hard pressed to notice.  So far around Stately Terrace Framlingham a difference of opinion and two leaflets from the Greens.

Last year in Framlingham.

Today in Framlingham a Plant Sale in the United Free and a Makers Market in the Unitarian (that's the one in Bridge Street).

Remember Roy at the Framlingham Crown (yes, he owes us money too), the Ladies Night, when the Crown had no gas and the NewYear's Eves congas?  We've moved stuff about and now there's a Framlingham Crown section going back to 2004.

♫ Baron Du Dongleur's open mike at the Framlingham Castle Inn 9pm tonight.

In Framlingham the oak tree on a bit of grass by the footpath to the Elms car park fell down yesterday afternoon thankfully without injury except to a fence.  Reportedly it collapsed gracefully.

♫ Vix and the Kicks (she does make the effort) at the Framlingham Castle Inn tomorrow night. ♫

We have the handbill for the 1952 British Rail special run for the Framlingham Gala (poignant as regular passenger services to Fram ended in the October of that year) but we've mislaid the 1950s Gala prog offering a bicycle as the raffle's first prize and a running race class for unmarried ladies only.

 JOB  The Framlingham Lemon Tree is looking for a waiting person.

Theatrical the approaching weekend.  The Harleston Players start Friday a run of the restoration comedy The Beaux Stratagem, Open Space Theatre present Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in Hoxne and at the Halesworth Cut, and in Framlingham Rosy Carrick's one woman show Passionate Machine.

 JOBS  A weekend barista and waiting person wanted at the The Tea Hut Woodbridge and relief doorman/men being recruited in Framlingham where it got a bit warm yesterday in a conservatory.

The oil seed rape is looking very yellow around Framlingham and the Fram doctors are looking to recruit a practice manager for their forward thinking, friendly ... rural practice.

Poignant, possibly even sad, to see the Conservative Club in Church Street Framlingham boarded up.
