Hello,

I asked my husband what I could write about at the beginning of this weeks newsletter.  The response was 'What games have Sky got on?'  What was he on about? ... Ipswich Town playing tomorrow evening against Cardiff, 5.20pm kick-off ... it just shows how much he was listening to me.  We will be watching the game, so watch along with us, armchair supporters are just as enthusiastic as those at the match.

Now you will be needing a snack while you're watching, and we will have plenty of tasty things at market to tempt you, including ....

Millionaires Shortbread ~ Gingercake ~ Lemon Cakes ~ Chocolate Fudge Cakes ~ Victoria Sponges ~ Rock Cakes ~ Apple Cakes ~ Crunchy Top Lemon Cakes ~ Chocolate & Almond Cakes ~ Butter Shortbread ... and much, much more

Truffles (for celebrating with when Ipswich score a goal)

Blackcurrant Jam ~ Apricot Jam ~ And many more delicious preserves

Wonderful crafts, including wool from the Gedgrave Flock

Come On You Blues!!

See you tomorrow

Do you listen to Mark Murphy's Breakfast Show on Radio Suffolk?  This week he's been championing Suffolk Rusks.  If you've never tried them, they are really delicious with a cup of tea, and some people like to eat them with a slice of cheese on top.  There will be Suffolk Rusks at market this week, so come and try them, see what you think.

Along with Suffolk Rusks, there will also be:

Coffee & walnut cake ~ Marmalade Cakes ~ Coffee Cup Cakes ~ Carrot Cake and Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing ~ Lemon Tart ~ Almond & Prune Tart ~ Pecan Pies ~ Cheese Straws ~ Crunchy Top Lemon Cakes ~ Chocolate Chip & Almond Cake ~ Butter Shortbread ~ Plain Swiss Roll with Jam filling ~ Chocolate Swiss Roll with Buttercream filling

Tracy will be there with her wonderful wool.  Her sheep are all busy lambing at the moment - read about it on Tracy's blog here and see the sheep that produce all the lovely wool.

So, along with Free-range eggs, vegetables, preserves and crafts, we have another full market this week .

See you tomorrow
