Yoxford

Open gardens today in both Aldeburgh and Yoxford.

If not a crime wave around near the coast at least a ripple.  Last night both Darsham and Framlingham petrol stations were burgled, Friday a quad bike was stolen in the Yoxford area and about the same time two expensive looking bicycles were stolen from a Woodbridge shed.

 WARNING  Police speed checks today in Aldeburgh, Yoxford, Ipswich and Saxtead.

Last weekend a Peugeot in Yoxford suffered envy lines (a Peugeot?) or possibly just being annoying lines and around 400 gallons of red diesel stolen in Dennington.

Yesterday in Yoxford village hall (usual obsession about the floor) there was a certain amount of yellow jacket milling including PCSO Jamie Newson of the Yoxford UFO.  The milling was to launch the parish and county council funded Community Speed Watch.  If these folks zap you doing 37mph or more in a 30 zone you get a letter from the constabulary, get zapped again another letter, a third time and the police will take it further.  All it really takes to set up a Community Speed Watch is money.

Strange happenings at Yoxford Primary School this morning, overnight a mysterious pile of silveryness had appeared in the school's garden.  There'd been no damage and the school's three black hens nearby were fine (though we fear for the fourth who had gone on her holidays with Mr Fox).  PCSO Jamie Newson arrived to tape off the area and make enquiries.  The bell rang and the children ran into assembly to discuss the silveryness and we are confident writing would follow as part of Everybody Writes, an initiative to get children writing.  Indeed the staff were wearing white vests for the children to write on about the wearer but with a no rude words warning in place.  A thoroughly rewarding exercise for everybody we thought and left for a late breakfast.

Have you been offered some suspiciously cheap tools?  A whole load were stolen from a van in Yoxford this weekend.
