Framlingham

Storm Bert yesterday shredded the Framlingham Station's PIZZA banner and now continues to blow today and Andy Fordyce reports the Saxtead Green windmill was taking full advantage of the wind.

Fram and Sax Cats Christmas Fair in the Saxmundham Meerkat Hall this morning.

Reluctantly like the rest of the UK most of Suffolk adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1752 but there is the anomaly that Framlingham town council thinks Christmas is in November.

♫ Tonight Crowd-Poppin, Boot-Stompin, Rabble-Raisin, Country-Rockin! from Man in the Hat at the Framlingham Railway and Folk Rock, Pop, Gypsy Jazz and Blue Grass from Mad Dog Mcrea at the Debenham Leisure Centre.

Darren Smith fishmonger on Framlingham market returned from a late holiday looking so healthy it was probably breaking one of the town council's many rules.  We much appreciate the coffees and mussels are still in season?

Infrastructure works on the Victoria Mill Road Framlingham green aren't to do with the proposed development opposite.

Everyone welcome karaoke tonight in the Riverside Centre Stratford St Andrew and tomorrow night choral Autumn Joy in St Michael's Framlingham.

A lot more people than we anticipated this morning at the Framlingham war memorial for the two minutes silence.  Ex town clerk Eileen Coe told us increasingly more people attending every year.

Next Saturday the Framlingham Scouts and Guides are having a Quiz and Supper (two courses!) Evening as a fundraiser.

The programme for tomorrow's Remembrance Sunday in Framlingham.

Surprisingly because he's not a Fram College boy film director Martin Scorsese took cufflinks to Woodstock.

The Southwold and Tour de France connection seems tenuous and as unlikely as Johnny Depp in Framlingham.

We've noticed the footpath that was closed on the Hopkins Homes development off Victoria Mill Road Framlingham has reopened with some of it now a road.  To our surprise there's room for cars to pass but no pavements so presumably no expectation that residents will walk anywhere ... even to walk the cockapoo.

 JOBS  Cleaner wanted in Framlingham and minibus drivers by the college.

Stuff happening around near the coast today: a Yarn (not Yard) Sale in the Saxmundham Market Hall, the Royal British Legion by Framlingham Co-op this morning and a Masquerade Ball with live music in the evening at the Fram Railway. ♫

Phone found in Castle Brooks Framlingham returned in the hour ... #SmallTowns eh?

Today between Framlingham and Woodbridge a generous sprinkling of closed roads and temporarily lights but on the Ufford side of Wickham Market permanent pedestrian crossing lights.

Samundham's Art Station is showing in The Old Theatre Framlingham Hedging Around Our Heritage Wednesdays to Sundays until the end of the month ... both the light and dark aspects of the human condition.

Bingo Thursday night as a fundraiser for Framlingham Library's children's area ... BYOB and nibbles.

Even allowing for it's always longer than you think we're still surprised that Detectorists is ten years old!  It's gentle humour is still endearing and tonight Radio 4s Screenshot will be celebrating the anniversary.

Our thanks to deputy town clerk Lydia Kindred for pointing out that the mystery post in the Fen Meadow Framlingham is a light which is waiting for UKPN to power it up ... presumably they're still searching down the sofa for a sixpence to put in the meter ...

We always assumed from the sound Lagonda were glamorously European, French or perhaps Italian cars so surprised to find they were and in way still are British with an exotic history.  Here's a 1920s Lagonda saloon in Station Road Framlingham last month.

Tuesday noticed some sketchers on the bench outside the Framlingham St Elizabeth Hospice shop but failed to connect them with Lorette Roberts' sketch walk.  Lorrete's work can be seen in the Fram Library until the end of the month.
