And so you go and *ahem* jointly open Diamond Ice with Sir Bob of Sunny Colch (yeah, yeah…) and then woh! Whaddya know? Your hyperlocal blog for Britain’s Oldest Recorded Town only turns into a semi-official search engine for folk trying to contact the lovely Pullen family behind Colchester’s first ice (ish) rink. If you [...]

Let’s talk about the Olympics; let’s talk about legacy. Let’s not talk about the bacon butties that will be served up en route as the 2012 Torch Relay makes it way around Britain’s Oldest Recorded on July 6th, nourishing though they may be. Nope, the real legacy of 2012 for Sunny Colch will be the [...]

And so the week after the grand announcement to proclaim the prestige route that the 2012 Olympic Torch will take around the streets of Sunny Colch (um, Ipswich Road to Middleborough…) and details are now starting to come together of the extra activities on the morning of July 6th that our friends from Colchester Borough [...]

Spring is officially here in Sunny Colch – time perhaps to promote once again the rather unique Sight Running health and historic tour around Britain’s Oldest Recorded. Colchester Sight Running is essentially a tourist trot around the town, showing the benefits of Sunny Colch, whilst also keeping fit at the same time. Organiser Sascha Cutura [...]

With the fancy new Colchester Magistrates Court almost complete and ready for opening, attention now turns towards Colchester Town Square. Stop sniggering. The patch of land immediately in front of the Magistrates Court down by Colchester Town Station is soon going to become a civic space. Currently it is a no-man’s land, and a rather [...]
