Random dead insect, macro style
The Norfolk and Norwich CAMRA Beer Festival, and Apple Picking, Norfolk and Suffolk - 26th October 2009
It's a return to the Norfolk and Norwich CAMRA Beer Festival, missed last year because of sprognation. As a change from the organised coach, we get the train from Diss to Norwich, which means a bit of an early start and an early return, and less of a chance to catch the Cawston Band doing their thing. However, there is more room to move around. Elsewhere, a random dead insect is spotted, which requires the hauling out of the extension bellows for a bit of a macro session. Finally, Fred's Grandad comes over for the weekend, and helps out with the anual apple picking harvest.
