Dear Ipswich, I hope you are well.
I love Ipswich for its style, docks, town centre and small shops. I also love Ipswich for its charm and the kindness of its inhabitants. I will remember the delicious porridge I ate, the walks in the town and in the parks and its food. Thank you for these wonderful memories that marked my summer.

Always diverse, slightly curmudgeonly with a grit and determination, an entrepreneurial flare, remarkable artistic heritage and creative present and future.
The Ancient Greeks had many different kinds of Love. My love for you is not Eros, the romantic kind of love, or Storge, the love born of family relationship.
I have lived in Ipswich and brought up children here over the last 30 years so it must be love!
So a BIG thank you to Ipswich and everyone within this great town who has been a part of my ‘new life’, post-2016.
