Thrandeston Pig, Little Green, Thrandeston, Suffolk - 29th June 2014

It's the annual Thrandeston Hog Roast on Thrandeston Little Green in the heart of the North Suffolk countryside. The day starts with lashing rain, although at least it's warm and the rain clears just in time for the arrival of the vintage tractors and a session of tug o' war, where Thrandeston is taking on Diss, who end up winning.
