New Year Trips to the Swan Inn, Brome, Suffolk - 6th January 2009

It's 2008 New Year's Eve and we're having a quiet night up the Swan, then after 2009 has rolled over we're in Diss for Saturday Sausage and to catch the end of the legendary Woolworth's, which is cleared out as the company has gone bust. Later, we're off for a frozen walk, and another visit to the Swan.
