Did you know? The Great Eastern Railway was opened in 1865 and ran for more than 100 years before the land was gifted to the local authority - paving the way for the opening of Clare Castle Country Park. The one-mile 'Railway Walk' takes you along the old railway line.

We can't do anything about the changing weather, but we can recommend the best rainy day activity - a spot of retail therapy!! Here are just some of the many attractions in our beautiful town - ow.ly/LA9T50ByEbT

Got here before the red warning started & hopefully it’ll be quieter by closing time. Much as I’d love to see you, please don’t come out shopping while it’s blowing a hooley! Quite happy playing shop on my own & reorganising the mugs. I might even tackle the filing #claresuffolk

While this is a great idea for some, beautiful greetings cards are lovely to give & receive & there is a whole uk industry dependent on them (artists, designers, printers, distributors, trade show organisers, not to mention retailers) #justacard UK Greetings
