The Framlingham Flyers were best (possibly Saxmundham Rotary mean first) team in Sunday's Heritage Coast run at Thorpeness.
su 6 May 2012
We arrived at Thorpeness today for the 30th Heritage Coast run just in time to see the backs of the last departing group but didn't have to wait long for the first six mile runners to arrive back. A first timer told us he hadn't realised how much harder it was running on the sandy soil rather than tarmac and this year the flooding meant climbing up banks to skirt impromptu lakes. Congrats to the Saxmundham Rotary club for keeping at an event that has such an inclusive meld of walkers, fun and club runners ... though we'd like to see it in the sun one day:)

Thankfully rather better weather at Thorpeness for this year's Heritage Coast jobbie than last. 700 people turned out to run or walk one of three distances with 10 year old Framlingham Flyer Zac Wright best junior and Suki best dog.

Only the burger van on the field for the Stratford St Andrew boot sale when we passed this morning. Arriving at Thorpeness in forceful wind and icy rain for the Heritage Coast Walk/Run the pa was playing ELO's Mr Blue Sky ... not surprisingly no tutus, only one pink wig we saw and the ninja look was popular though much pinkness in the Suffolk Breakthrough tent. There were three different starts and we heard shouted at the departing second group That's the half marathon you donut! Total respect to everyone who turned out. More pix on Facebook

It certainly was VERY PINK in Thorpeness and Aldeburgh this morning for a Walk On The Wildside 2009 with lots of doggies getting double helpings of walkies, some tutus (it's as near as we're going to get to roller derby for a bit), bunny ears and the traders in Aldeburgh joining in the spirit with balloons ... but the carnival moves on and because rules is rules and councils is councils (what would we do without them?) the pink ribbon way markers have to be collected.

We noticed last night on the way back from Coward Curiosities in Thorpeness that what ended up as The Emporium opposite the mere has had a coat of paint, a name change to The Beach Hut and is a cafe again, seems like a sound idea.

Remember Coward Curiosities at the FramlinghamCrown? Mouth to Mouth are presenting this quirky collection of short Noel Coward pieces in Thorpeness tonight, and Lowestoft early next month.

The Brasserie and Emporium at Thorpeness is now just an emporium but with the walls still papered wittily (yeah, right) with covers from Private Eye.

Here's a bit of solid gold, a 1950s train journey on the Saxmundham-Aldeburgh branch calling at Thorpe Halt ... accompanied by Flanders and Swan ... and we've just worked out that the boy standing seemingly dangerously on the track is holding up the single track token for the driver.

Last time we went to Thorpeness to be mugged by the swans the brick cafe had become a restaurant and was only open in the evenings so we went in the wooden hut for a pot of Earl Gray instead. The restaurant is now a Brasserie & Emporium and was open in the afternoon, but we still went in the wooden hut ...

The swans on Thorpeness Mere have worked out you get more bits of sandwich if you don't break a man's arm but en masse they still look like they should be hanging round a floating bus shelter. What's that cartoon We have cats like other people have mice? James Thurber?
... a bit Suffolk
Thankfully rather better weather at Thorpeness for this
