A Cricket Quiz, and a Postcard from Colchester, Essex - 25th March 2024
We're in the Cricket Club's annual quiz, held at Brome Village Hall, which - as we're on something of a roll - we actually win. Then, Nosher and Isobel decide to visit Colchester after having dropped off Fred's flute for a major service at Stutton, near Manningtree. Whilst there, we do lunch in Wagamama, and then wander around for a bit, having not been to the centre of town since since working for BPCC Business Magazines on Severall's Lane in the north of the town, back in 1990/91.
