The Eye Show and the Red Arrows, Palgrave, Suffolk - 31st August 2009

Nosher, Isobel and The Boy visit the Eye Show - formerly actually based in Eye, but now relocated to Palgrave. It's a hot day, and there's enough stuff occuring, including the highlight of a display by the legendary Red Arrows. Paul and Claire are spotted, as well as Bill, who's manning the Diss and District Table Tennis League tent.
