Looks like it probably won't rain today St Swithin's day.

An Ipswich Cardinal training early this year has joined Suffolk Gentleman.

Fish was a good friend to this web site and his chums both on and off line, especially in Framlingham.  In 2011 tragically he laid down in front of a train and committed suicide.  The bulletin board software has deleted the tribute to him, we have recovered the tribute which is now permanently at Fish 1972-2011.

Hoxne gets its own page.

We really l♥ve Jessie Cave.

It may be father's day but you're not my real daughter, you can't tell me what to do.

Very pleasant to welcome back advertiser Framlingham's Kitchen Range & Cookshop.

House prices, most folks interested eh?  (Some of these a little bit historical.)

Cheers the day licensing a pic on Alamy, to see our stock photography click on 

Throwback Thursday:  Eight years ago today Daisy Cooper was canvassing in Woodbridge as Lib-Dem candidate for Coastal Suffolk.  She stood for President of the Lib-Dems in 2014 and as MP for St Albans in last year's general election.

We have 3,000 plus stock photos on Alamy ... soon to be 4,000 plus.

Appreciative and appreciated Facebook comments about Ladies in Framlingham.

Last week's digest the Parham/Thorpeness one prompted the most clicks ever, book your freeby here.

Around near the coast as everywhere people are interested in house prices.

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day, from now on the days get longer and the world continues on its way to hell in a handcart.

Always a good day when we license a pic on Alamy, today it's the label of an old pair of Levis.

pc tips/the Internet has spawned a social media page.

BBC Radio 3 now has a 30 minute mix-tape 7:00-7:30pm, thankfully jock free so a pleasant relief from the preceding relentless jollity of Sean Rafferty's interaction with the studio guests. ♫

We've got a new header pic on our Twitter feed ... #rollerderby eh?

We were wondering why since our move to a new server maintenance things were happening in the morning instead of middle of the night, the server was on New York time:)  Clocks go back at the end of next month.

Today is the autumnal equinox, the date can move and next year it's on the 23rd.

Apologies for being a bit silent recently but we've been doing stuff to please Mr Google.  He gave us a small pat on the head yesterday ... but we don't trust him.

At the end of October the clocks will go back ... there's no stopping time's process.

We'll be testing different PageSpeed configurations today so we'll be a bit wobbly.

Still tidying up from the server move earlier this month.

The pic zoom is back, try Eve on New Year's Day 2007 (remember her behind the bar at the Framlingham Station) or this same year misfortune at The Crown.  If the Gods of the Internet smile and the pic zoom doesn't go away again there are more Framlingham Ladies.

03:09pm: The bulletin board is back, wasn't that complicated but we kept having to do other stuff.

02:40pm: The bulletin board is about to go off line while we upgrade the software.

08:04pm: It'll have to wait until tomorrow now:)

On the sixth anniversary still miss Fish.

Today we're moving nearthecoast on to a new and faster server.  There could be a little disruption but as Stackton Tressel's wellbeing deliverance officer has taken to saying It's gonna be great.

Blimey!  One of our stock pix licensed for German telly.  

Welcome back to advertiser Parham Airfield Museum (halfway between Parham and Great Glemham) which re-opened last month for the summer season.  It's well worth the trip being free entry, still has the original control tower and an excellent cafe.

We were popular last Christmas.

The year moves on, it'll be the spring equinox tomorrow.

This month's near the coast house sale review is a bit like snow in July ... thin on the ground.

4:30pm:  Hang on, we're still working on it.

4:55pm:  The bulletin board is back and mostly working, you may have to do a hard refresh Ctrl +f5 for it to display properly.

Tomorrow is the first of two Friday the 13ths this year.

Some of the links on this web site site used to change every three days and link to the most recently changed pages, now  they change every day and on a random basis ... yeah, we're pretty random.

We've fixed /stradbroke+ above so it now shows as Stradbroke+ which is nice except it shouldn't be Stradbroke+ ... the http header on our server seems to have given up returning the last modified date and time.
