Aldeburgh Lifeboats with The Old Chap, and a Night at Amandines, Diss, Norfolk - 1st March 2009

Nosher's Old Chap - granddad to Fred - comes over to visit for the weekend. First, however, Nosher and Isobel are over in Linton for a bit of a curry-and-pancake thrash with Janet and James. Then, the following Saturday after The Old Man has arrived, we all pile over to Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast for fish and chips, along with the de-rigeur queueing that goes with it. We also get to see the Aldeburgh lifeboat as it comes in from exercises as we're walking around on the beach. On Saturday night, whilst the Old Chap watches telly or something, Nosher, Isobel and The Boy go out for the evening at Amandines café in Diss, which is hosting one of its dinner and music nights, this time with Nosher's band-mates Rob and Jo.
