Tesco Express stores aren't even that big, I'm not sure how they managed to get 2 grands worth of healthcare products into 3 baskets (it wouldn't be possible in #Ipswich or surrounding #Suffolk villages, maybe #BuryStEdmunds is more affluent and has higher value stock?)

Whilst I don't think the #crime these lads committed warrants jail (especially as all stolen items were recovered), I hope they are closely monitored as this is a bad behaviour pattern to be getting into - its a similar MO to #crimes in #London where shops are stormed by youths who haul off as much as they can get and not something we want over here (maybe its why Tesco Express stores even in semi rural areas have quite a high security presence for small buildings!)

Even in my provincial town, some 80km away from #London , #teenagers decided to fight over the #sportsball

Saddest part of all this is one was also #nicked with class B (usually #cannabis , although sometimes other #partydrugs ) - when I was younger many lads who liked getting high were often also into #football but #drugs often *discouraged* them from fighting ( which is why the old bill to some extent turned a blind eye to the rampant use in the 90s and 00s ! )

Same night a #fox visits. They find the few pellets of food I have put out for them on the lid of the hedgehog food plastic box. I only put a little bit of food out because I don't want to feed the army of local felines. How can I feed the fox but not the cats? #ipswich #suffolk #uk
The #hedgehogs are now visiting regularly and I am excited every morning to see if they have visited. Food is put in the plastic box to keep it away from cats

We are facing a brutal few months if the past few days are an indication. I can only bring a few litres of water to the gardens each week. #ipswich #suffolk #uk #guerrillagardening #popupgarden

Brutal heat + lack of rain =

The record breaking May temperatures have taken their toll on the new plantings in the Meanwhile Gardens. Only one ivy appears to have survived and other plantings are struggling. Our mistake, we sโ€ฆ
