The curse of burned-out and abandoned cars seems to have been visited upon us more often; in early July Dedham had three examples at one time. This is in Old Mill Road.
|
Foot and Mouth signs have changed over, from temporary paper to the red design (in May's Photo Diary) to the less prescriptive orange, red and blue. This sign is again in Park Road .. where one post has both a red and a blue version together!

Although going under the banner of 'traffic calming' the dragon's teeth on the roads approaching the village qualify for visual pollution of the first rank. The large areas of white are lethal in the wet when braked upon, so cyclists especially beware. I wish I had shares in the firm that makes the red stuff! |

The 23rd June was a fine day for the Primary School Fete and it really did get hot at times!
|
The voice and music of the Fete! |
At times trade could be quite bustling! I understand about £1500 was made for school funds.

A traffic count using twin video cameras on 2 July. The tail-back to the roadworks on the Dedham bridges is evident. I do hope these results are not judged typical of A12 road usage, with many commuters probably making alternative journey arrangements.
The follow-up to this picture came three weeks later, in the form of a letter from LOIS, the London to Ipswich Multi Modal Study. The letter said that I had been captured on video, and clever software had automatically read my number plate. This number was sent to the DVLCC, who had supplied my address as the keeper of the vehicle. The combination of vehicle number and address never left the DVLCC. The form asked my the nature and time of my journeys on the A12 that day, and the full postal address of my starting and finishing point!
This information is being gathered to see if we need a M12! |

More grubbing out of the orchards,; this time in the corner of Wick Road and Park Lane. |
The strawberry crop, opposite Williamsons on Park Lane, ready to pick in mid-July |
The airfield memorial, nicely decked out, at a quiet time on a hot summer's day. |

Silos and apple boxes rest in the heat, across the cleared field by the airfield memorial. |
