Dawn on the North Sea coast of Suffolk at Aldeburgh, where Britten lived nearly the last three decades of his life by Ken Back when we took our original Sneak peek into the sound world of Benjamin Britten , when I was dependent on YouTube scavengings for musical examples, I was relieved to have Leonard Bernstein's rather tired DG recording of the mesmerizing "Dawn" interlude from Peter Grimes...

Well, what’s been happening on the Shiny Stormer front since the September meeting? Not a lot, I’m afraid, hence the lack of scribblings on the blog but as I’d got a couple of minutes to spare I thought I’d just ‘keep in touch’. Following the last meeting the SS was prepped and made ready for the meeting scheduled for East Hanningfield. The B50 engine was removed...

My latest website build was for an NLP consultant. I'd never heard of NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming - until my work on this website for my latest client, Jenny Dey, who runs NLP-based personal and business workshops from her base in Ingatestone, Essex . And it occurred to me that I have worked on websites for a very wide variety of industry, business, personal, and charity sectors. The subjects...

Julian Lloyd Webber is fearful for the future of 'a social project with music at its heart' It's a glorious autumn morning in the seaside town of Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast. Outside, the main attraction is the sunshine, drawing the crowds along the beach to Maggi Hambling's exotic "Scallop" sculpture, a memorial to local composer and conductor Benjamin Britten. Inside a packed hall nearby,...

I can only say after spending many a day in Aldeburgh eating extremely good lunch you are bound to get one bad one. Given Aldeburgh reputation for fish and chips I thought I was on safe ground ordering cod and chips. Not so, I must say that the fish and chips at The Pelican were the worst I have had for many a year, the fish was the worst piece of cod I have had in soggy stodgy batter. it could not...

The "soft, thick light" described in Old Suffolk, Henry James's memoir of his 1879 journey to Aldeburgh and seeing the submerged skyline of medieval Dunwich, hung low over Snape last weekend.

MR James's classic Aldeburgh ghost story, 'A Warning to the Curious', puts the chill into an autumn walk on the Suffolk coast Halloween has a lot to answer for. It's yet another opportunity for supermarkets to pimp out lurid coloured plastic crap to kids. It's the subject of the worst series of Simpsons episodes ever. It doesn't even get you a day off work. But I still find myself drawn to the annual...

Almost a month ago now, at the end of September, I was lucky enough to go with my Mum to the Aldeburgh Food Festival in Suffolk. Whilst called the Aldeburgh festival, the main show is in the lovely Snape Maltings. The Aldeburgh Food Festival is massive, as the whole of the county gets involved in mini events across the weekend festival. The festival celebrates all the fantastic food and foodie businesses...

One of the joys of the Aldeburgh Food Festival was that it was held during the season for a lot of game birds (no jokes about me being a game bird, please!). We were able to get hold of a couple of partridges, now safely in the freezer, and also some dinky woodpigeon breasts just right for this recipe. The Wild Meat Company in Suffolk has the most wonderful supplies, and prepares them for the cook...

Apologies for the 'radio silence' on here of late - have just returned from a lovely week's break in sunny (yes, honestly!) Suffolk. We stayed in the Old Cookery School in Aldeburgh , until recently a genuine working cookery school run by the excellent Thane Prince. A wonderful Georgian building with a lovely kitchen, and surrounded by great food suppliers. The highlight of the trip was the Aldeburgh...
