near the coast

There will be on the day tickets for Sunday's The Piglet at Wantisden, been there didn't get the t-shirt.

From 2:30pm this afternoon Friston Classics on the Green fund raiser for the church.

The Sudbourne Printmakers were part of this month's Suffolk Open Studios.

10:00am-1:00pm today Fressingfield Shed open day and yard sale.

That new roundabout on the A12 at Friday Street certainly takes the pretty way round.

Debach Airfield Museum opens tomorrow for the first time this year.

Today 11am-4pm the Parham Airfield Museum opens today and for the summer while the Debach Airfield Museum opens the last summer Sundays of the month.

In 1974 East and West Suffolk County Councils were merged into one.  52 years later the government (who always know best of course) has decided if two wasn't a good idea then three must be better as more is always better.  Council changes are planned for 2028 but next month near the coast will be voting and voting does matter.

Our thanks to the Walpole Old Chapel for a generous handful of coffees.  A whole bunch of musical events upcoming at the venue this summer. ♫

♫ We visited Chapel Arts Fressingfield for the first time last year and the venue itself is worth the effort.  Frustratingly we can't make tomorrow's recital of Verdi, Mozart, Finzi and Gershwin by Grammy winning bass baritone Jonathon Lemalu but we can try for Andrey Gugnin in May.

The Sunday as well as the usual rail travel disruption there'll be extra from digital upgrades to the signaling system.

Nice artwork for Dallinghoo's Valentine's Special tonight, the good sounding two course Live Jazz and Curry Night.  Like the government partying during a Covid lock down it's BYOB.

Next month Roughcast Theatre's tribute to the late Tom Stoppard is touring the two one act plays The Real Inspector Hound and A Separate Peace.  The company needs a man with a van who would smile upon their theatrical endeavours.

Had an email saying our garden bin account will be extended because of this week's cancelled collections.

Yesterday we deployed our electrical recyclables for collection but were stymied by bin collections being suspended and garden collections cancelled (will we get a refund?) ... at least that's what we think is happening.

The back of the bin dates leaflet says anything with a plug, battery or cable can be recycled up to two per week, the district council web site is less committal.  We shall be trying them out next week with a laptop and a fan heater ... we'll see.
