The server move earlier this month meant Google PageSpeed (does what it says in the name) had to be re-installed ... which is why some of the pix are missing and the bulletin board looks very wrong ... working on it.

  Planning a witch ducking this year?  Promote your event on here.

Still tidying up from the server move earlier this month.

We have 3,000 plus stock photos on Alamy.

Don't know your way round nearthecoast?  You need the A to Z of ntc, it's FREE and you don't have to pay and display or walk through the gift shop to get out.

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.

The twice monthly(ish) digest is emailing out this afternoon to the 1800+ nearthecoasters on the list ... click the Singing Postman to go on the list.

Throwback Thursday:  Nine years ago today there was a one off car show at the Framlingham Sports Club to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of East Anglian Practical Classics.  As we recall some of the car owners were decidedly grumpy but it didn't spoil the day.

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.  

The first July digest will be emailing out today ... click Jess Postman Pat's black and white cat to get yours.

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.

ASTONISHER No.40:  In 2010 retiring governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson declined to pardon Billy the Kid ... we know but it's true.

House sales around near the coast quiet at the beginning of the year.

Our A to Z of ntc helps you find your town or village but unlike a satnav it kills 99% of all known germs, doesn't have a patronising voice and has never knowing undersold.

Now would be a good time to make us your home page.

If yours is a local event for local people then you won't need How to promote your event on nearthcoast.

We've collected past astonishers to their own page.

Life Skills 14: Before closing a credit card account with a monthly direct debit cancel the direct debit first like we did our MBNA card, despite having zero balance MBNA is complaining it can't take the £25 direct debit.
