Charlie Manning, medicinal plants and ITFC Charitable Trust in Kenya
Charlie Manning on the future of Felixstowe, and ITFC volunteers head to Kenya.
There's the latest on a tragedy in Southwold, when a car broke through the seafront railings and into the harbour.
A man in his 80s died, emergency services worked late into the night to recover the vehicle.
Charlie Manning junior is Rob's guest, talking about following in his father's footsteps and the future of Felixstowe.
He has big plans to improve and expand the amusements and area around the pier.
In Stowmarket there's an exhibition exploring the use of flowers and plants in modern and complementary medicine by Suffolk artist Jane Crick.
"I have also come across some flowers that you wouldn't expect to have medicinal uses which were used by the Aztecs, Romans and more recently Thomas Culpeper," she said.
"Such as Dahlia as a poultice for rashes and bruises, Houseleeks for shingles and Lady's Mantle for inflamed wounds and bruises which is today used in skin care cosmetics."
Bruce Wade drops in, ahead of leaving for Kenya with the Ipswich Town Charitable Trust.
He's one of 30 volunteers heading off to Africa, giving coaching sessions for local children on a ten day tour.
And answering your gardening questions this week is Graeme Proctor from Crown Nursery in Ufford.
