sa 13 Jul 2019	Last night's A Midsummer's Night Dream at the Laxfield Low House was very Shakespearean with a laughing audience also eating and drinking, an audience dog taking exception to Puck sneaking past and a waitress who considerately didn't feel she could call out order numbers during the show.
th 11 Jul 2019	Roughcast Theatre are touring Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer's Night Dream around near the coast finishing with a dash over the channel for two shows in the Dordogne ... perhaps because it might be their last chance:) Tomorrow there's a free performance at the Laxfield Low House.

fr 15 Feb 2013	A fish supper for one yesterday from the chip van outside the Framlingham Station had added poignancy as the van's not coming back anymore. They will still visit Laxfield and this perhaps highlights that Fram now has three takeaways whereas fifteen years ago it was only the Silver Leaf and Greasy Gordon's which wasn't greasy it just alliterated and anyway wasn't open Thursday nights ... gonna miss the chip van.
mo 23 Jul 2012	What an nice change to have some half way decent weather yesterday for Mouth to Mouth's production of the musical Godspell in the Debenham Angel's garden.

sa 6 Sep 2008	This is Carl Wilson and Laxfield First Responders coordinator Laura Griggs demonstrating their pulse oximeter at this year's Brundish Makemerry. As their beat is very rural inevitably the ambulance tends to take longer to arrive so two responders go out on a call. Laura echoed Framlingham coordinator Leighton Page's observation that people are very generous giving money but what is needed most are more responders. If you want to help email Carl (remember you won't go out on your own:)..
su 17 Jun 2007	Events have been going on all week between the ten villages in this year's Inter Village Games. Some were physical including tennis and football, and some were not; but it all came together today on the Laxfield Playing Field. There were events for real littlerlys and not so litterlys ; and the blond littelry made a real commitment to the bat and bean bag race but got a bit slowed down by dropping her bean bag but no problem eh? The event that really calls for team work is the four on two planks and we thought the four girls in orange were going to do it but Weybread prevailed ... though stopping was a bit of a problem ... as it was in the three legged race. The crowd were cheering the egg throwing but we had taken time out to eat one of the rather meaty burgers and for us the highlight was the third place decider between Dennington and Metfield in the tug of war. The pull just went on and on and on with the crowd getting really involved. Dennington won but at the price of Jason (who used to tend bar at the Framlingham Station in Neil Pascoe's time) being very slow to get up, we think he might have hurt his ankle. A brilliant afternoon that makes you proud to be British!
tu 16 May 2006	Laxfield Low House (King's Head) des' dinners 55 Matt, The Brewer, Goddess Steph, Max, NaTCH, new chum John B and the tv presenter Peter Purves (who didn't know he was lunching with us) appeared to be irritating the barmaid ... though she seemed ready to be irritated. Very well kept Adnams and Fullers London Pride, NaTCH did very well with a Farmer's Lunch which is a ploughman's with some substantial slices of ham and plum chutney instead of cheese. Everybody else didn't do so well with luxury fish pie that contained raisins and the veggies arrived after The Brewer had finished his pie. Conversation included the interesting fact that it cost's twice as much for Max to have his nails trimmed as NaTCH's mother. (last visit ↓ subsequent lunch previous lunch)
we 8 Nov 2000	Laxfield Low House (King's Head) des' dinners 8 Despite a miserable day attendees were Andy, Spadge in a blue Ginetta, NaTCH and Malcolm. Malcolm combined his lunch with making a delivery of Low House Bitter which was sampled and approved. The food could have been hotter but the conversation flowed heatedly. "Does God exist?" was even briefly touched upon. Apologies for absence received from Hugh. (first visit subsequent lunch previous lunch)
