Thursday.


Just had an email from our good friends (and fellow townsfolk) David and Sue. After about twelve years or so of trying to open a superstore here in Highdale, Tesco are finally pulling out. We have been fighting this for a good many years - I'll check that one with David - He'll know the exact figure. The usual tesco reaction after being refused is to leave it for a few months, then change the application details ( a little) and apply again; then we have to go through the sorry business again. The worst part  of it is  the site they wished to build on. It was grotesquely unsuitable. It would have ruined our river walk and meant the destruction of several allotments.
Thanks again David and Sue. It feels like a lovely, early, Christmas present.

Very good news. They're such bullies.

P.s. Took the photo through the car window a week or two ago. It's of my favourite Suffolk Church - Blythburgh.
