Mount Street is closed due to a burst water main
Bressingham Gardens, and Building Progress, Brome, Suffolk - 26th August 2013
It's a nice day, it's a bank holiday weekend, and the annual season ticket is about to run out, so we head off to nearby Bressingham Steam Museum for another go of the gallopers, steam trains, a look at the restoration of a 1909 steam car, and a walk in the gardens. The gardens are somewhat like those of Alton Towers - tucked away, somewhat overshadowed by everything else, but well worth a look. A few days before, it's raining so there's nothing much else to do apart from eat a hotdog in the van down by The Mere, and afterwards there's a catch-up with the current state of the various extension and new-build works.

Fred has a drink whilst he eats his sausage
A rain-spattered view of the Diss town sign
The gang in the van
Harry eats bread
Fred roams around the gardens of Bressingham
Adrian Bloom's garden in summer
A field of yellow flowers
The garden hut
Fred peers out from the bridge
Harry on the gallopers
Governor balls
The Robert Tidman of Norwich steam engine
Fred and Isobel spin round
Hand-drawn copper tubes in the steam car boiler
The River Waveney's old course
Fred pretends to be asleep on the steam train ride
Fred, Isobel and Harry play crazy golf
A dude puts the boiler back in to the steam car
Harry stumps about
Ruston the shunter trundles over
Twiddle-handle door of an old EMU
Wheel bogey built by BR Timken works
The base of the new garage
The brick bas of the garage appears
The side extension takes shape
Crushed concrete and a skip
Millie the Mooch has a sniff
Bricks appear near the pile of sand
The start of the garage wall
The back room is coming along nicely
Boris comes out for a look
The new back room
The side extension and garage
Shiny Cellotex
The back room takes shape
Boris sits around and watches
More shiny Cellotex goes up
A misty morning view as the scaffolding goes up
