Dear Ipswich, I hope you are having a great week.
I left Ipswich at 18 swearing to never return, never get married and never have children.
I returned having fallen in love with an Ipswich boy (great-grandson of an Ipswich Mayor) to have 2 Ipswich-born children and to fall in love with this town. Its kindness, diversity and eclectic views are always a surprise and joy.
