than Lancashire!). Also the light is terrific and the sky is superb - it is no accident that many artists come to the area to paint. It is pretty and rural and there are lots of delightful cottages in the many villages of the area.
It is an area where I have always felt safe. I have been happy to walk through Ipswich late at night going to meet with friends to go to the theatre or out for a meal.
It was therefore a shock for the area to suddenly find itself making headlinenews recently following the murders of five prostitutes in a matter of weeks. An event unprecedented in this country and one which looked like it could totally overwhelm the local police force.
