Framlingham Co-op ice bucketSuffolk, or at least Co-ops near the coast, have rediscovered the ice bucket challenge.   Yesterday in front of a few socially distanced onlookers a very good handful of Framlingham Co-op staff were cheerfully dunked by their co-workers.  If we'd paid more attention we would know which charity benefitted but we do know Wickham Market Co-op have been challenged to do the same thing.

Enough empty spaces on the Martlesham Tescos' shelves yesterday includingBollards at the entrace to the Martlesham Tescos soap.  OTOH bollards have appeared between the large and mini roundabouts at the entrance.  Turning right at the mini roundabout for Wickes et al can be a bit unsettling and for reasons we can't quite quantify the bollards improve the situation.  On the way back between Martlesham and Wickham Market two separately vehicularly terminated badgers on the A12.
