Art, Music, Sport, Travel, Food, Gardens, Wellbeing: these are some of the subjects encompassed in this week's enews, the promoters of which are all drawn (if you'll excuse the pun) from just a small radius around Framlingham. There can't be many other rural communities in the country with such a fabulous concentration of gifted people, helping to enrich our lives with their wonderful talents and offering spaces in which to enjoy indulging yours or just spending time.
Best wishes
Kathy & Sarah

Sally Rundell has lived in her converted barn on the outskirts of Earl Soham for over twenty-five years. Set within three acres of wooded gardens, this wonderful family home has played host to countless children’s parties, celebrations and even a wedding, but is now being reinvented as a retreat for wellbeing.
