The cash dispenser and signs have gone, they'll need a carpenter to close the lobby doors which have no keyhole on the outside. 30 years ago Felixstowe was the nearest LINK cash dispenser to near the coast and Aldeburgh complained it had no ATM for visitors wanting to spend money ... what goes round comes round.

2023 | .jpg "Hedgehog in Stately Terrace Framlingham") Around 00:40 in this BBC vid kitten biscuits meat flavoured, not fish flavoured are recommended for hedgehogs.

2023 |  ♫ Last night in the Snape Maltings we fell in l♥ve with mezzo Margo Arsane playing Pompey's son Sesto ... she's petite ... and French. We did our best to keep up with the plot but occasionally just let it wash over us. Perhaps we missed it but at the curtain call the Aldeburgh Voices who sang from the audience weren't acknowledged. A much larger cast for tomorrow night a Rossini comedy.
