Suffolk

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.

Tempted to say Laugh costs Suffolk police £3,500.

Regretting that we missed the Middy's line extension opening.

Roughcast Theatre are still looking for backstage crew for lighting, sound etc.  Tech is easier to master than you might think so email them.

The other side of the Orwell Bridge the Suffolk Food Hall has a free entry Vintage and Makers Market this Sunday.

♫ 6:00pm tonight Radio 3's Words and Music is Portraits of Suffolk.

Today a free day out at the Sudbourne Park Printmakers Summer Open Studios.  In a very attractive location on the way to Orford live printmaking, print sale and goodly behaved dogs welcome.

SOLD OUT Conclave (the film not the real one) in the Bungay Fisher Theatre tonight.

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)

Good news, missing 14 year old Cyrus Blackwood found this morning.

14 year old Cyrus Blackwood has been missing from Ipswich since Monday.  He is black, around 5ft 3inches tall, of slim build with dark brown hair and was last seen wearing a dark tracksuit with black and white trainers.  He has connections in Suffolk and London, you can call 101.

Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner for the past 13 years Tim Passmore (if he was a US president he would have retired five years ago but that might change) has published his policing plan for the next four years though we can't find it.   He's also interested in East Anglian mayor, is he planning to be both?  A bit Trumpian eh?

Patrick Spencer MP for Central Suffolk and much of near the coast will be meeting around Framlingham Friday 28th.

At the Bell Gallery Bungay the four artist show Form and Colour ends today.

If you pause this hospice vid at the end you can see EACH third from left third row and St Elizabeth far right fifth row ... bless them all.♥

♫ This year's Red Rooster prog at the end of May has for us the impressively shredding and trashily stylish Samantha Fish.  Pleased to see spill over with bands we know from Maverick including Vagaband and nearthecoast supporter Ella Spencer.

Four Conservative Mid-Suffolk councillors have jumped ship over proposed council changes.  If we end up with an elected Super Mayor no doubt they'll be a Tory squatter like the Crime Commissioner.

The tractorati protesting on the A14 today, expect delays.

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?

... and there was us thinking it was only the more remote parts of rural Suffolk that still use the Julian calendar.
