Enterprising Hippy Jo Crampton Do you remember Hippy Jo who sold Fairtrade clothing on Framlingham Market?  Some five years ago she left to open her shop Banyan in the Thoroughfare Halesworth.  We made an impromptu social visit last week to discover she wasn't there because these days she has staff ... now that is an Enterprising Hippy.

Halesworth phone boxLife Skills 6:  When did you last make a call from a pay phone box?  (Yes, they do still exist, this one's near Halesworth station.)  We think our last time was ten years ago in Epping High Street and we put a pound coin in to be safe, nowadays it's a bit more complicated.

Halesworth Station in 2010Halesworth railway station is to get a ticket machine and CCTV on the Lowestoft bound platform.  The station is just a few minutes from The Cut, venue for the HighTide festival.  This year the festival relocates to Aldeburgh ... thanks to Dr Beeching the Aldeburgh station closed in 1966 ...

Mascots embracing in HalesworthSaturday we went to Halesworth to see Daddy Christmas arrive but had time to visit Hippy Jo in her shop of two years now.  Daddy C arrived by the simple process of walking out of the library and then processing along the Thoroughfare led by the very excellent Southwold and Reydon Drum Corp which as well as festive lighting had some real tinys.  Before all that there was a great moment when the two mascots spotted each other and embraced.

There's an area bounded by Wickham Market, Debenham and Halesworth known near the coast as the Wickden Triangle within which either something in the water or incipient dementia prompts bizarre council behaviour such as this sign in the Stackton Tressel Crack Street car park.

Laura Churchill at Bluebird VintageWhile we were getting in the way Saturday at Bluebird Vintage in Halesworth a browser said to his wife It's like the Tardis.  There may be only three rooms but they do seem to go on forever and absolutely crammed with the past charmingly displayed.  What's more the building was once The Hawk Inn, part of the Yarmouth brewery Lacons estate and reportedly a pub with a bit of a rep ... but then the great and the good often think that of all pubs.

Hippy Jo

Banyan is Hippy Jo's new shop in the middle of the Halesworth Thoroughfare and though it doesn't have a sign yet and the credit card machine hadn't arrived when it opened today it does have loads of customers, two roomy well lit changing rooms, a toilet and a teensy kitchenette with an even smaller (if only just) fridge.  The ethically sourced clothing, jewellery and smellies are more mainstream than Jo's stock when on Framlingham, Saxmundham and Woodbridge markets .... but there's still whimsy, gotta be a winner.

With the current weather the new Teen Shelter in Halesworth's town park Crowded in the Teen Shelter was getting heavy use even before Rose Baldry for the local Crime Prevention Panel handed it over to the Town Council.  Jointly funded by Awards for All and Suffolk Police the shelter looks a little like an open ended Nissen hut, is hopefully vandal proof, didn't come pre-graffitied (that was arranged locally) and is very handy for both the skate park and a spot of fishing in the River Blyth.
