I am conflicted about this - the #Suffolk #libraries #charity has at least kept the service running for over a decade, but there are way fewer #books in the libraries these days (it also seems the (Conservative) Council who were responsible for the cuts in the first place are going to keep the use of voluntary rather than paid staff even when/if the libraries go back to being directly run by the Council..

A #SilentSunday scene from Snape, in Suffolk.

In the 12th century, farm workers from Woolpit, Suffolk, are said to have found a strange girl and boy. They spoke a language no one understood, wore clothes in an odd style, but - weirdest of all - their skin was green. The boy soon died, but the girl eventually learned English and her skin started to lose its green tone. She said she came from a country called St Martin's Land, where it was perpetual twilight. She and her brother were shepherds who had wandered into a cave and emerged into a land with almost unbearably bright light. She grew up to marry a man from King's Lynn and lived a long life. #Folklore #weird #history #Suffolk

A man has been nicked for filming a fatal #collision on #A14 highway outside #Ipswich #Suffolk whilst driving and posting the footage on #SocialMedia (this incident resulted in A14 being closed for several hours earlier this week)

Starry night in Suffolk.

Whole #CommunityRadio station (ICR - #Ipswich
Community Radio) TX chain relocated at the weekend and reinstalled in a new location (we moved from a Band I studio to transmitter link to a setup using internet streams, as Ofcom want £800 per year for the STL licence which is too much), and the station itself is moving studios to a different part of town.
