Life in Suffolk has been captured in a series of images from a week that saw record numbers of grey seal pups born at Orford Ness, more potholes reported on our roads, and plans emerge for Ipswich County Hall to be turned into a hotel and museum.

And, yes - there was yet more rain, unfortunately.

Scroll down below to see how the county looked between 16 and 20 February.
