Here's a new one (to us at least) Splat Quack Go Suffolk's Muddiest Mud Run. superficially a Woodbridge happening tomorrow but in fact just outside Hollesley ... entries accepted on the day and it sounds a teensie bit like those Zombie Evacuations.

Something large appears to have bumped into the Woodbridge Bell and Steelyard.

In the Woodbridge hardware shop the man in front was being served ... well having a nice chat actually.  Indications were made the conversation was ending when the phone started to ring.  Beggar we thought Now we'll have to wait for that to be answered but no, the proprietor ignored it and served us ... sometimes you win eh?

Disappointing charity DVD shopping in Woodbridge the other week not helped by the Salvation Army shop gone.  Tragically the Georgian Coffee House has closed, perhaps not helped by a car crashing in to it earlier in the year.

A coastal rowing club is forming in Woodbridge next year ... now that would involve gigs?

The Woodbridge School sports hall is LARGE but  was needed yesterday afternoon for all the friends and relatives at a Suffolk Police cadet parade.  A sea of white shirts but also some dark blue worn by emergency services cadets who seem to be proto fire fighters.  PCC Tim Passmore assured the hall that in this atmosphere of cuts funding would continue for the cadets because they are the future ... can't disagree with that.
