mo 16 Sep 2019 | Over the weekend at Artdog's second Art in the Barn (the Barn is in Easton Farm Park) we were very taken with Zoë Rubens objet trouvé type pieces.

mo 2 Oct 2017 | ♫ When Peppery Productions presented the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (ten years ago!) at Easton Farm Park we weren't keen.

So very sorry to learn that founder member Kitty Lux passed away in June. |

we 27 Jan 2016 | Yes, the Easton Harriers were originally called the Hamilton Harriers. |
sa 23 Jan 2016 | Harriers on the Market Hill Framlingham before what's now Country Vision got the mock Tudor half timbering. Not unreasonable to assume it's the Easton Harriers. We've fiddled with the image and we can see HARRIERS in the annotation but don't think it's EASTON ... it might be HAMILTON and once upon a time Lord and Lady Hamilton pretty much owned Easton ... |

tu 11 Jun 2013 | Arriving back near the coast yesterday we did our shopping in the Wickham Market co-op ... it was so calm and unhurried compared with the Hackney Tescos near Chelmsford ... ahhhh (we thought) nice to be back ... on the back road to Easton we dodged two hatchbacked mums with hectic lifestyles and a flying post van ... Suffolk eh? (we thought). |
we 20 Feb 2013 | ♫When we visited a Rabble Chorus rehearsal in Easton three years ago we were impressed by Kirsty Logan's arrangements but there wasn't that many of them. Now there's enough for a flash mob in the Ipswich John Lewis with Barbara Ann Spencer taking lead. PS: This song and choir on the cd of last year's Maverick Festival.♫ |
mo 11 Feb 2013 | Easton in the 1950s, a bowler hat being worn without irony in Stowmarket, that windmill in Thorpeness and Framlingham's Market Hill when the pharmacy was a chemist and had a flagpole ... clearly Fram's always had a flag fetish. |

Peppery Prods who put on the excellent shows at Easton Farm Park have dickered a two for one offer for the three preview shows of Dial M for Murgatroyd, just say Peppery when ordering tickets. |
su 22 Jul 2012 | Easton pre-school may be a bit confused about when they have an anniversary due but Friday they knew how to run a teddy jump raffle without that dour chanting Yellow one four six that too often mars a social occasion. Despite threatening dashes of rain the teddies jumped triumphantly. Possibly the liveliest pre-school near the coast it has a few vacancies, a new lunch club and now takes children from two years old. |
tu 12 Jun 2012 | Easton Pre-School agm 7:30 tonight in the village hall. |
we 9 May 2012 | We went to Easton farm park Monday to see the Suffolk Exhibitions show and particularly liked the lino cuts of Helen Maxfield and (even though they are a bit scary) the felt vessels of Tracy Hetherington ... but got seriously distracted by the farm animals. It's the time of year when everything's having young with Suffolk Punch colt Easton William the unquestionable star. |

sa 14 May 2011 | With a council grant Easton village hall has new joists, new floor, raised ceiling and a paint job that altogether makes it a much more pleasant space ... plus a mountain of new stuff for the pre-school. At today's pre-school open day the almost overwhelming amount going on included manicures, no really, manicures, yoga with the children surprisingly engaged and guinea pig petting. When we left three new families had joined but still space for children from 18 months upwards. |

New singers of course welcome (don't have to read) and to get some stage time the choir will cheer up your event for free. ♫ |
