Norfolk

Actor Ben Willmott moonlighting as Media at the Eastern Angles wants you to know that Hightide's Ghost Stories by Candlelight will be visiting them in Ipswich Tuesday.  Other upcoming shows near the coast are Diss, Lowestoft and Halesworth.

Long Stratton has a bypass.  It's single carriageway with two roundabouts one of which doesn't connect to anything yet .., so not sure it helps much ... especially if you're planning a fish and chip supper.

It's the Burston Strike School Rally today.  On our last visit we were too busy making photos to pay attention to comedian Mark Thomas ... will try harder this year.

The reluctance of the Tour of Britain to say when it's happening makes us think there may be some honest Suffolk folk involved worried that too many people might turn up ... possibly from that there Norfolk.  Either the way the first stage is TODAY Woodbridge to Southwold via Framlingham.

Today and possibly tomorrow the RAF will be rehearsing it's 80th VE Day (Thursday 8 May) fly past over East Anglia.  As far as we can see it's going to be north of near the coast but don't trust us.  (Thanks brandeston.net)

Gratifying that Bungay's demon dog the Black Shuck is part of Royal Mail's new mythical creatures postage stamp set.  Not only is the town's running club named after the dog but also Norfolk Roller Derby's B team though we prefer the B's original name the Jolly Dodgers.

Without the voters being asked Suffolk may loose it's district councils and the county councils blended with Norfolk! supervised by an hopefully elected mayor.  Let's hope this new godfather won't have the power to pardon their friends and mates ... remember Andrea Hill?
