On Tuesday 20th November, St Edmunds Day, our new Bishop was ‘enthroned' at St Edmundsbury Cathedral at an impressive and moving ceremony.  Representatives from all areas of Suffolk life and community were there, including Thornham Magna and Parva.  After three processions of clergy and lay people, representatives and visiting dignitaries, the new Bishop knocked on the main west door of the cathedral to then be formally admitted.  Eventually he was ‘enthroned' or installed before giving his first sermon.  The service was a wonderful mixture of formality and informality, both ancient and modern.  The music ranged from Bach to Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells.

Suffolk is blessed with a gratifying number of places to eat well, and here are some of my favourites.
