They say that things come in threes. They did in Aldborough Hatch this weekend.
On Friday five traveller vans broke down gates to enter Aldborough Hatch Farm. They were gone by Saturday afternoon - having taken at least one metal gate to sell!
Overnight Friday the water main burst outside Aldborough Hall Farm - the Farm, the Aldborough Hall Equestrian Centre and the Dick Turpin Restaurant were without water until about 6pm on Saturday.
And on Saturday afternoon the field next to the church was on fire. The travellers had long gone - so they did not set light to the tinder dry stubble but arson is suspected - with one witness to the start giving evidence to police - not me - I only heard about it and dashed up to take photographs.
We do see life here in the Hatch!
