In case you haven't had one of these through your letter box EDF are taking a show about the proposed Sizewell C on the road at the start of January.  No show in Framlingham, nearest Hacheston Thursday 10 Jan but perhaps the most convenient for the working person Saturday 19th at the Riverside Centre Stratford St Mary.

♫ Thursday Baron du Dongleur hosts Framlingham Castle Inn's open mike night and another hole is being dug in Victoria Mill Road.

Christmas postal deadline today Monday the 26th for operational HM Forces.  Next deadline Friday 14th December for 'static' forces.

Perhaps obvious but if your wireless mouse/keyboard gobbles batteries get some rechargeable batteries and a charger.  Rechargeable batteries come in ... more here

The temporary traffic lights in Station Road Framlingham for a new zebra crossing have gone away thsi weekend but expect them to return ... three weeks to put in a zebra crossing?

Christmas doesn't start until you've been to the Brundish Christmas Fair and we went to this convivial and charmingly intimate event this afternoon.  Daddy Christmas made a brief visit (he is rather busy this time of year) to hand out sweets and entrance enjoyably included a tea and mince pie.  Next Brundish event is a candlelit service tomorrow week with the Chantry Singers.

Yesterday Victoria Mill Road Framlingham by the junction with Station Road was closed to fix a water leak.  Today it is only pretending to be closed but the leak is still leaking and running into Station Road.

Next June the national road cycling championships will be held in Norfolk and the seemingly attached cycling festival with a little irony will include something the Beeb calls cross-country, cyclocross?  (But cyclocross has a winter season?)

Last Sunday we were surprised that that sports hall men's changing room at Tommy Mills had one toilet, two hand wash basins but no showers.  The Brewer's Hertfordshire comprehensive half a century ago had showers ...

Mightily pleased to welcome back supporter Man in the Hat.  Man in the Hat will be entertaining for dancing at the Brandeston Queens Saturday week.

Delayed by roadworks on the A14 and in Colchester we arrived at the Amis Velo Supacross in time for the back end of a veterans race followed by the seniors to end the day.  The course was comparatively dry and pretty much all rideable though some muddy turns with reverse camber hard on steep little up slopes gave ... more here

Surprised how many people don't want their brown wheelie bins though perhaps understandable in Stately Terrace Framlingham where some houses don't have that much outdoor space.

The skaters at the rehearsal of The Little Mermaid in the Tommy Mills Framlingham's sports hall today were wearing off ice skates, they look like inline skates but the four wheels are mounted in a curve so only two wheels touch the floor making spins and turns easier.  At the rehearsals nobody fell ... more here

We've only recently noticed that the Saxtead windmill has no sails.
