Eye Open Gardens, Suffolk - 1st June 2013

Every year, several of Eye's more impressive gardens throw open their doors so that the unwashed masses can get a look. Before that though, we meet up with Grandad at the newly-opened "The Bank" - a former Midland/HSBC bank that's now been turned in to an arts-and-music venue, with a studio in the former strong room.

next album: Marconi, Arezzo and the Sagra del Maccherone Festival, Battifolle, Tuscany - 9th June 2013
