near the coast house sales review 2018.

Just taken down the Christmas cards and in the manner of brown wheelie bins re-purposed the Christmas lights ... some might say a day late.

The twice monthly digest emailed out this afternoon ... click Jess Postman Pat's black and white cat to get yours.

We could rant about the relentless building around near the coast making rural Suffolk increasingly suburban with little if any improved infrastructure but we'll console ourselves that it's still a pleasant place to live.  We have bubbling a slight change to our look and very probably stylish merch.  In 2019 no doubt there'll be continued sightings of Ed Sheeran, the East African will report local fury about something or other and there'll be even more building ... wishing you the best for 2019.

Donate your retiring Christmas tree to entertain the meerkats at Stonham Barns.

It may have been the Christmas postal deadline Friday for military with static post offices but significantly more terrifying is it's TODAY last posting for second class in the UK ... and a BIG queue in the Framlingham PO yesterday.

Hoxne gets its own page ... and why not?

CORRECTION: We originally reported that the CCU Chargers' honoury captain last Sunday was Ken Matcham.  The honoury captain was in fact Joe Waller who is being treated for cancer, our apologies to both gentlemen.

ASTONISHER No.44:  Although Felix Baumgartner's jump in 2012 from 24 miles not surprisingly set five world records he did not break Joseph Kittinger's 1960 longest free fall record.  In 2014 Google hacker Alan Eustace jumped from 25.7 miles setting new records.

Mightily pleased to welcome back supporter Man in the Hat.  Man in the Hat will be entertaining for dancing at the Brandeston Queens tomorrow.
