Yoxford

In Yoxford nice to see that Hopkins Homes don't always win and Thursday morning a boot scraper was stolen.

 WARNING  Police speed checks today in Aldeburgh, Yoxford, Ipswich and Saxtead.

Sunday night one of a group of middle-aged motorcyclists hit and run a Yoxford door.

Last weekend a Peugeot in Yoxford suffered envy lines (a Peugeot?) or possibly just being annoying lines and around 400 gallons of red diesel stolen in Dennington.

♫ We looked Barley Brigg Morris up on the web and they seemed to be from Yorkshire, Blimey we thought they've come a long way.  When they announced themselves on the Market Hill Framlingham Thursday night they're from Yoxford ... pix on Facebook.

Yesterday in Yoxford village hall (usual obsession about the floor) there was a certain amount of yellow jacket milling including PCSO Jamie Newson of the Yoxford UFO.  The milling was to launch the parish and county council funded Community Speed Watch.  If these folks zap you doing 37mph or more in a 30 zone you get a letter from the constabulary, get zapped again another letter, a third time and the police will take it further.  All it really takes to set up a Community Speed Watch is money.

A leaf blower, two hedge trimmers, two fence energisers, a compressor and other stuff stolen in Yoxford last weekend.

Strange happenings at Yoxford Primary School this morning, overnight a mysterious pile of silveryness had appeared in the school's garden.  There'd been no damage and the school's three black hens nearby were fine (though we fear for the fourth who had gone on her holidays with Mr Fox).  PCSO Jamie Newson arrived to tape off the area and make enquiries.  The bell rang and the children ran into assembly to discuss the silveryness and we are confident writing would follow as part of Everybody Writes, an initiative to get children writing.  Indeed the staff were wearing white vests for the children to write on about the wearer but with a no rude words warning in place.  A thoroughly rewarding exercise for everybody we thought and left for a late breakfast.

As with most things being longer ago than you think it comes as a surprise to most that Ange ran the Framlingham Railway for seven years.  She then went on the road as a temp landlord at The Drum near Folkestone, Carpenters Arms near Kings Lynn and The Forge near Norwich but is now settled at the Yoxford Griffin nearthecoast where we had a very acceptable pint of Marstons Pedigree.  The Griffin serves food, folk music on the third Saturday of the month and it's open all day at weekends if you want to catch up with an old friend.

Have you been offered some suspiciously cheap tools?  A whole load were stolen from a van in Yoxford this weekend.

A damage only hit and run in Yoxford.
