Life in Suffolk has been captured in a series of images during yet another wet week in which potholes dominated our news, particularly in Beccles, where 30 people complained of damage to their cars in the course of one night.

We also met a Bury St Edmunds woman who discovered she was so strong she could enter competitions, and reported on coastal erosion fears for the world's first radar station at Bawdsey.

In more cheerful news, a rare loggerhead turtle washed up on the beach at Dunwich found a new home, and the first snowdrops were on display in the village of Felsham.

Scroll down below to see how the county looked between 9 and 13 February.
