Framlingham

Heartening that there were so many people in the St Michael's Framlingham churchyard yesterday for Remembrance Sunday.

Political discussion on the Fen Meadow Framlingham ... well it is Suffolk.

Canadian actress Shea  Wojtus has joined Framlingham Ladies.

It's the Framlingham Flyers cross country this Sunday.  It will start on the Castle Meadow though we're a bit vague about the time.  A water person at this year's 10k told us the route was changed slightly last year but surely it will still include the perilous swoop down into the castle moat.

Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs) were enacted in a bunch of near the coast towns over ten years ago.  They aren't simple drinking bans, it's not illegal to have wine with a picnic as long as a copper doesn't ask you stop ... read the question.  DPPOs have been replaced by Public Space Protection Orders and last month East Suffolk Council resolved (didn't they vote?) to remove the DPPOs (number seven in the minutes).  Impressively they also thought to remove the signs that imply Framlingham Fen Meadow is the haunt of drunken muggers rather than sober(ish) dog walkers.

Framlingham AmDram's autumn show is Abandonment by Kate Atkinson.  The show runs this Wednesday 30 October to Saturday 2 November at the College theatre, get tickets at www.fadsweb.co.uk/tickets.

Last night in the Headmaster Porter Theatre at Framlingham College.

 JOB  Catering Assistant wanted at the Mills Meadow care home Framlingham.

Theatre company Gibbons & Gaulier present their three handed vaudeville style comedy The Affair at Framlingham College Theatre Friday.  Theatre of the absurd, clowns, French farce, slapstick... a generous helping of stage comedy.

Standing by the Over the Moon coffee stall on Framlingham market a tiny grabbed hold of our trouser leg to help him get up on the step.  When you're that small it must be difficult to tell the difference between people and furniture.

Tragedy!  Long term Framlingham.market trader Chrissie will now only be attending at Christmas and other special days.  We recall one absolutely freezing Saturday she came into The Crown and removed three anoraks ... we will be missing her superior eggs.

Moistness didn't disrupt yesterday's Framlingham sausage festival, loads of people and plenty of catering alternatives to a piece of sausage on a stick.

Usual lazy media patronising shite that anything not metropolitan is cutesy, this time Woodbridge and Framlingham ,.. mind you they managed to show Fram Castle without the sound of recorders and lutes.

Extinction Rebellion protest in Stately Terrace Framlingham.

 JOB  Framlingham College are recruiting a suitably qualified accountant.

 JOBS  Wanted in Framlingham a junior project manager, in Debenham a 14 month contract accounts assistant and in Woodbridge a booking administrator plus at Jewson at a customer service advisor.

At least two people have told us that that there Ed Sheraton was in the Framlingham Station we think last week and with his lady .

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

John Bridges sent us a pic of the wooden building in Fore Street Framlingham which was the Christian Science reading room for at least two decades ... more here

The Framlingham Pageant Field has temporary toilets.  When we visited the gents it was impressively clean, a choice of four hand dispensers (we chose restore), no paper towels in the dispenser and if you stood still long enough the lights went out.

♫ Edith Peck is forming in Framlingham a female acapella group of maybe eight singers.

For today's Framlingham Flyers 10k the start moved from the usual New Road to outside The Crown on the Market Hill.  By the time the race had got to the right turn into Castle Street Fram Flyer Andrew Rooke had already put distance between himself and the bunch, not surprisingly he went on to win.  We were impressed by Andrew's veteran team mate Adam Howlett's fourth place and as always the cheerful endeavour of the back markers.
