near the coast

fr 7 Sep 2018	♫ Stuff to do around near the coast this weekend includes tonight a music quiz at the Framlingham Crown, the free Laxitude all weekend with Lyrical Jukebox and naughty Harleston boys Red Mecca playing tonight plus Maritime *Woodbridge* tomorrow and Sunday.
sa 28 Jul 2018	It's going to be a busy Sunday tomorrow with the Dunwich Dynamo passing through near the coast in the early hours, open gardens in Double Street Framlingham, free step dancing at the Blaxhall Ship, classic car day at the Debach Airfield and St Lawrence's Brundish will be visited by The Right Reverend Martin Seeley Lord Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, probably the first visit by the diocesan bishop in sixty years and there's a picnic as well. We will be snapping the East Anglian american football derby of Norwich Devils at Ipswich Cardinals.
	Thankfully it's rained and no doubt will again soon ... mind you it's already becoming a bit annoying.
fr 27 Jul 2018	This is an interesting double, around 9pm tonight there will be the longest blood moon this century. About the same time the Beeb are forecasting (let joy be unconfined) a second thunderstorm for near the coast.
su 15 Jul 2018	Looks like it probably won't rain today St Swithin's day.
sa 14 Jul 2018	Sign in Ashbocking advertising free horse manure not surprisingly by the stables with a dressage ring right on the B1077.

th 28 Jun 2018	Batteries stolen earlier this month from speed indicators in Chillesford, Hollesley, Snape and Tunstall.
fr 15 Jun 2018	Here's a new one (to us at least) Splat Quack Go Suffolk's Muddiest Mud Run. superficially a Woodbridge happening tomorrow but in fact just outside Hollesley ... entries accepted on the day and it sounds a teensie bit like those Zombie Evacuations.
tu 12 Jun 2018	Expect delays and parking difficulties when the Women's Tour of Britain starts in Framlingham tomorrow (we enjoyed the 2014 stage start in Felixstowe), takes a turn around near the coast, returns to Framlingham and then goes on to finish in Southwold.
su 3 Jun 2018	It would seem everything happens in June. A selection gleaned driving today include next weekend Kettleburgh Fete and over the border Euston Rural Pastimes, the weekend after Palgrave Vintage Rally and on the 23rd June Hoxne Summer Fair 2:30pm at Abbey Farm.
sa 19 May 2018	There's an initiative for the community to buy the Brundish Crown, we hope they succeed, near the coast certainly doesn't need fewer pubs.
su 13 May 2018	Stonham Aspal may have lost it's pub but the village hall is very active with bingo, film, pub and quiz nights.
th 10 May 2018	It's the fourth Pirate's Ball this weekend starting tomorrow night in Thorington. ♫
mo 7 May 2018	We've paid for Suffolk Coastal's garden rubbish collection starting this month. We've opted for the bigger bin and were looking forward to re-purposing going forward the old bin to store yet to be chopped up kindling ... but the bigger bin doesn't arrive until August.
su 6 May 2018	Last week a Browning shotgun was stolen in a Knodishall burglary.
fr 4 May 2018	♫ Musical nights out tomorrow around near the coast include 5 In A Bar at St Mary's Sweffling with refreshments (we last 5 In A Bar at the 2014 Great Glemham Christmas show), and Man in the Hat at the Knodishall Butchers Arms. ♫
sa 28 Apr 2018	The airfield museum at Debach opens during summer opens on the last Sunday of the month so that'll be tomorrow then plus also tomorrow young farmers at Easton Farm Park.
we 28 Feb 2018	The Shepherd and Dog at Forward Green (it's between the A140 and Stowupland) has a giant TO LET sign outside. Tripadvisor and someone who told someone else seem to think it's closed and has been for a bit. We're pretty sure the letting agents are Fleurets who specialise in pubs and shops but we can't find it on their website ... maybe that's why it's got stuck.
fr 16 Feb 2018	Through some oversight or possibly just good old fashioned incompetence last year we didn't make it to Common Ground's Christmas show Sherlock Holmes and the Hooded Lance. We will try harder for their autumn tour of The Mariner and they have a shiny new website to tell you all about it.
