What a joy to watch this wonderful Woodbridge film, John. You really captured the essence of the place. My partner and I stayed there for a week in August. The river Deben worked its magic, that's for sure. Not-to-mention the wildlife. The magical call of the curlew still singing in our ears.

John - what a great surprise. Of course I love your High Wycombe videos as I have worked in Bourne End for over 20 years but to see you in Woodbridge was a true surprise. My father and uncle were born there and I visit when I can - as a matter of fact Mr Eno (Brian's father) was my father's postman. The Deben is a wonderful river and its a shame you cannot walk on the southern bank all the way to Felixstowe which would be wonderful. Another highlight is the Whistle-stop cafe on the station and if you ever wander that way again maybe a video about Bawdsey.... fascinating place. Keep up the good work and stop talking about ADNAMS - you are making me thirsty!

@julieblackstock8650 10 ай бұрын

My partner and I have both moved from Essex to Suffolk.. We do 'church crawling' and recently went to the church at Bucklesham where Basil Brown was actually born though he lived in Rickinghall when he was at Sutton Hoo. We often walk to Old Felixstowe at the mouth of the Deben and you can get rowed across to Bawdsey

After binge-watching so many of your videos I had to stop a few months ago because you were pulling too hard on my nostalgia for the Essex/London I grew up in. My book shelves suddenly required space for you and Iain and other London based writers. I watch this and I instantly have a fresh yearning for my roots once more. I need to make a visit.

Great that you visited Suffolk…… Woodbridge also holds an annual Seafood festival. Tons of history in this neck of the woods, from the unspoiled costal villages of Southwold, Walberswick & Dunwich to lovely old towns of Bures, Lavenham & Hadleigh. Surprisingly Ipswich still retains many old buildings & is also packed full of history. It has the oldest ring of five bells in the world - dating from the 1400’s - at St Lawrence’s church, one of many surviving medieval churches in the town. To my knowledge Brian Eno studied at the Ipswich School of Art in his early years. Hope you enjoyed your visit John. 👍

Such a delight to see you John, it made my night - surprise barely covers it! I've been coming to Suffolk since I was a child and when the city finally got too much, it was inevitable that I'd be drawn here. Of the Night Sky itself was conceived in a little fisherman's hut on the Blackshore Quay in Southwold in 2015 (with a copy of Sebald on my bedside table no less!) and this region's waters, coastline, history and permanence are in the music's DNA. Your video captures all of the qualities that made me move here and I'm glad it resonated with you as much as it continues to inspire me. Andy.:x

Hi John! Thanks again for another corker of a journey. The first of two things I want to mention is the gable on the beautiful Shire hall (timestamp 11:30) and your comment that it is a Flemish gable. It is quite a surprise to see this beautiful example of such a gable. I grew up with such gables in South Africa, where the most well known example of such gables are to be found on the main building of Groot Constantia, South Africa's oldest wine estate. Over there these gables are called the "Cape Dutch" building style, rather beautiful (and a bit pompous too). The second thing I want to mention is that you have my support and nomination for the position of "Auditor-In-Chief for All Things Adnams". Please fly the flag with pride and vigour! 😀

Visited Framingham a couple of years ago - the village hall was The Detectorists meeting place. We tentatively opened the door to go in but there was a Yoga class or something going on so we had to keep out! Also visited the pub where they used to meet - can't remember its name.
