  • Ear Ear – February 2020
    Ear Ear – February 2020 The newsletter of the Eastern Region of the Donkey Breed Society Well at last there are signs of spring, snowdrops peeping out, daffodils thinking about it and a few brave primroses…… but still plenty of mud, mud, mud (or is that just my place?). We seem to have had a long, very wet, and not yet cold winter and I can’t help thinking that we may have some nasty cold stuff heading our way before we can truly say Spring has arrived. Unless they are very young, very old or unwell, donkeys usually cope well with cold (it can get very cold in a desert) but obviously hate the rain and damp so a good shelter is essential. Some of mine have turnout rugs as they like to wander around and graze despite the weather but most donkeys have more sense and shouldn’t need rugging at all. Your committee have, like most of you I assume, been busy over the winter months, getting on with our jobs, home life, family and of course donkeys. Several donkeys have been out and about delivering assorted pregnant ‘Marys’ to nativity services, visiting all sorts of delighted members of the public, going for walks (between showers) and even taking part in the London New Year’s Day Parade. Pics below Annual Awards presented at Christmas Lunch. Our very friendly and chatty Christmas lunch was a great success. We had new people attending for the first time and I am sure they would attest that it is a brilliant social occasion, lots of chat, making new friends, good food, time to swap donkey stories and share successes or ask for advice, and lots of awards and raffle prizes to go home with! Our thanks to Liz Wright for master-minding the occasion.

AND DERBY 1908 {All Kifkts Rtterifed] DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir William Brampton Gurdon K.C.M.G., M.P., L.L. PREFACE SUFFOLK has not yet found an historian. Gage published the only complete history of a Sufifolk Hundred; Suckling's useful volumes lack completeness. There are several manuscript collections towards a History of Suffolk—the labours of Davy, Jermyn, and others. Local historians find these compilations extremely useful ; and, therefore, owing to the mass of material which they contain, all other sources of information are neglected. The Records of Suffolk, by Dr. W. A. Copinger shews what remains to be done. The papers of this volume of the Memorial Series have been selected with the special purpose of bringing to public notice the many deeply interesting memorials of the past which exist throughout the county; and, further, they are published with the view of placing before the notice of local writers the results of original research. For over six hundred years Suffolk stood second only to Middlesex in importance ; it was populous, it abounded in industries and manufactures, and was the home of great statesmen.
