JennyMorgan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Now we know why folk flocked to Geldeston! To said folk this must be terrible news indeed! Mind you, perhaps it also underlines a debatable advantages of global warming! https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norfolk-police-find-cannabis-plants-at-geldeston-1-6637808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 For me one of the highlights of the Broads calendar is the annual carnival at Beccles. Not quite the same since Beccles Regatta & the Carnival parted company but still well worth the trip to Beccles. https://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/news/beccles-carnival-cancelled-over-coronavirus-uncertainty-1-6635538 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclemike Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 beccles carnival is unfortunately a shadow of its former self, 2 day event now , was a 4 day event culminating in a magnificent firework display on the monday evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 My guess is that it became too popular, a nightmare for the organisers who were all part-time volunteers. Whatever Beccles does it becomes hugely popular! The Antiques Festival in the Town Centre brings the town to a standstill, the Christmas Fair is like being packed in a sardine can, it's a Beccles thing I suppose, it shouldn't be such a nice place!

And yes I used to love a bit of old school weed before you ask, not a hint of interest in the stuff about nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightsaidfred Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 My neighbours son had more than that growing for his own use stories must be very thin on the ground given all the rubbish being printed at the moment. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Once had to go up in the loft of a customers house to check the cold water tank overflowing, found more than I was expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydraser Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Plenty of vacant allotment plots available round here...... Plenty of time on my hands due to lockdown..... I wonder????? Actually, not my subject at all but I thought it needed heat and humidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember the tale of some strange plants growing in the flower bed outside one of the local constabulary buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cousin of the tomato plant apparently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairTmiddlin Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have a ham radio buddy, who works as a warrant officer for one of the big Electricity companies. He's ex Bill Some of his stories about weed growing are epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
