Planning a witch ducking this spring?  Or perhaps a trial by fire for an estate agent?  You're welcome to promote it on here.

 BE WARNED  Today is Mother's Day and she'll know if you bought the flowers in a garage on the way over ... and what if the garage has sold out ...

Astonisher No.69 (supplemental):  Bonnie and Clydes's death car with only half a windscreen and a partial steering wheel driving the 50 odd miles drive from Arcadia to Shreveport couldn't have been a comfortable journey for Ruth Warren.

Worried too many people might turn up for your coffee morning?  Seance?  Sponsored Co-op card swap?  Swingers' party?  Don't do promotion on nearthecoast then.

If like us you really like pancakes it's Shrove Tuesday ... lemons eh?

Mackenzie Crook's new comedy Small Prophets like Detectorists is gentle (so far), charming, whimsical and clever.  We love the main character Michael Sleep working in a DIY Superstore amusing himself by talking total bollo to the customers.  Streamable or old school BBC2 10pm Monday nights ... it's something to look forward to.

WARNING: Today is the first of three Fridays the 13th this year, the second is next month.

The village doesn't support you?  Promote yourself on nearthecoast.

Hopefully you've noticed we've given the icon strip above a wash and brush up.  We've added our new(ish) Instagram and retired (perhaps temporarily) flickr.  It'll take time for the change to reach all 300+ of our pages.

Suffolk Truths No.110:  Why honest Suffolk folk need two Co-op cards is a secret lost in the mists of time.
