On Mere Street, outside Woolworth's
A June Miscellany: The End of Days, and Al Leaves Taptu, Diss and Cambridge - 13th June 2009
Nosher, with Fred installed as a kind of baby rucksack, is wandering about Diss and happens upon a bunch of knitters outside the old Woolworth's. It turns out that they're promoting "Transition Diss" - part of a growing movement which appears to bring together bits of ethical/climate-changey/sustainability philosophy with a healthy dose of post-industrial/post-apocalyptic "what happens after the collapse of society" fatalism - one of Nosher's favourite things and why there's always a good selection of tinned food and dried pasta in the house, and stuff growing in the garden. They've even done a bit of a Mill Road, Cambridge campaign with postit-notes of suggestion for what Woolies should be instead of the planned carpet shop. Later, there's another bike ride with The Boy, and Al Brayne at Taptu leaves to become a blacksmith/hippie and travel the world.

A knit-a-thon occurs on Mere Street
The old Woolies is now a Carpet Right
Knitters outside Woolies
Postit Notes of hope
A 'Come and Knit!' sign
The knit coordinator chats to the public
Light through a venitian blind strikes a spiky plant
Fred the Head flashes his baby blues
Fred chews on a toy
Smiling Fred
Isobel's got Fred on her bike
Isobel with The Boy cycles up Brome Avenue
Isobel points out some chickens to Fred
Fred and Isobel stop to look at chickens, near Eye
Walking up the steep hill to the Eye Cricket Club
A derelict shed near Abbey Bridge
In the Taptu office, Jake inspects a pile of pizza
Marc sneaks in to grab a slice
Al checks out his leaving gifts
Al has a drink
The view from Nosher's desk
