A 37 year old Saxmundham man has been charged with robbery, racially aggravated assault and criminal damage at the town's betting shop.

We shopped in the Saxmundham Tescos for the first time this week, no Granny Smiths, staff didn't much want to be there, a bland experience.  Disappointing that the three small street side shops part of the development are a Costa and a charity and a betting shop.

We didn't get to see the excellent Jade at Saxmundham music fest Saturday but did hear the end of their set as we walked from the car park.  The Memorial Field had lots of family groups and an enormous queue for the bar (Adnams £3.20 a pint) prompting Speedway Ronnie to hold stereo rum and cokes.  After a live sound check the UK Beach Boys prompted pleasant surf music nostalgia but the real star was the Pye radio sunset.

Last week a flat screen television was taken in a two house Saxmundham burglary.

Seen on the Saxmundham/Benhall border we're not sure if this is a complaint from Mr Smith or a LOST AND FOUND.

Yesterday Des Fry from the Saxmundham Waitrose presented a cheque for £600 to the popup Smile café which is so shiningly new it probably still smells of paint.

There's a tango malonga in the Saxmundham Market Hall tonight and from our previous experience not only will the hall be decorated but this time there's a live band too.♫

Things to do Saturday include the scouts' boot sale in Saxmundham (they use to be on Sundays?) and Framlingham Castle Inn's Party by the Park 2 with Marc Everett and Lucy Sampson and others.  We ate Sunday roast off a Lavenham decorated place mat for our teenage years so know it's picturesque, this weekend in the village hall Suffolk Exhibitions are showing Art Photography Ceramics and Textiles.

After a collision last night on the A12 near Saxmundham a man from near Southwold has been arrested ... sounds hairy.

We sense a certain lack of enthusiasm for a betting shop in Saxmundham and bits stolen (eventually) from a dinghy in Aldeburgh at the end of the week.

The Peasenhall Assembly Hall is one of three green token good causes this month at the Saxmundham Waitrose (roller derby league the Seaside Sirens was one of last month's three in the Southend Waitrose).

A barman at the Monday jubilee jolly in Saxmundham told us the town council had paid for it ... makes a change from flags.

What we did in Norfolk, Saxmundham and Framlingham for the jubilee ... ah well, back to work.

Ipswich band Anything But Ordinary are playing the Saxmundham Meerkat Hall Saturday night to raise funds for the town's jubilee celebrations ... it'll probably involve flags.♫

Getting a good response on the board to a drastic plastic query about Strada sports cars built on the Carlton Ind Est in Saxmundham during the 60s.

It may have been Epiphany yesterday but Saxmundham was still looking rather lovely in her Christmas lights and last week in the charmingly named Laundry Lane Huntingfield a half hearted break in.

SmartWater, no SmartWater not BlueWater, is an invisible liquid (that's a pic of it on the right) that codes your valuables to identify where they came from.  It's been wheeled out in Lowestoft and Leiston where over a 1,000 households have taken it up and now it's available in Saxmundham.

The Invited's gig at the Meerkat Hall Saxmundham this Saturday has been CANCELLED but the table top sale in Laxfield is still on and with bacon rolls!

This pic of men playing quoits in Saxmundham and the 1930s brings a perspective to the Ted Ray line My family were very poor but bought me a cap so I could look out the window.

Six good souls, including a county councillor and a Benhall lady, turned out in the snow yesterday to the Saxmundham Resource Centre (it's down Seamen Ave by the fire station) for the Sax and Fram SNT meeting.  All very informal, sofas and coffee rather than platforms and standing orders.  Sgt Daye Goddard reported there'd been no drink related disorder over Christmas in Framlingham or Saxmundham and road safety education is ongoing in the area's primary schools; but the meeting seemed uncertain about anti-social behaviour at Toby's Walks, a picnic area on the A12 near Blythburgh.  Next SNT meeting in Fram 2pm Wed 10th Feb at Avocet House, Station Rd.
