Suspended for now

I have decided to suspend writing the blog until at least the end of the current year.

Now I am no longer on the County Council it seems rather presumptuous to think that people will continue want to read my maunderings.

However, if after a reasonable interval I feel the irresistible urge to continue I will reconsider.

In the meantime I would like to thank all those who have read the blog over the past 10 and a half years, and for all your supportive comments and encouragement.

Goodnight and good luck.

Soloists from the ENO will visit Preston St Mary on Saturday evening.

Breakfast with Bacon

There will shortly be another chance to enjoy the wit and wisdom of Richard Bacon, the Member of Parliament for South Norfolk.

On September 15^th HLC is hosting another ‘Breakfast with Bacon’ in the wonderful surroundings of Ickworth House just outside Bury St Edmunds.

Those of us who remember the excellent pre Brexit Referendum breakfast with Richard at the Swan in Lavenham certainly won't want to miss this event.  

Richard is a well informed and amusing speaker and is not shy about giving honest answers to difficult questions.  I am sure that those who attend will gain valuable new insight into the current political situation in the UK.

The breakfast menu looks pretty good, and I for one will be going on afterwards to take a look at the (moderately) recent rehang of the marvellous artworks in the main part of the House.

Hope to see you there!  Further details and a booking form can be found HERE.
