The Park in Diss has never looked so parched
Diss Fest, The Park, Diss, Norfolk - 22nd July 2018
2017's Diss Fest was memorable for the lashing rain, whilst this year's is memorable for the long hot summer, second only to that of 1976, which has left the grass more parched than at any time in living memory. Once again, Isobel's choir - Invidia Voices - is doing its thing in the Pagoda on Diss Park.

The grass is parched by the pavillion
Fred and Harry roam the dead grass
Harry on the swing
The choir shelters under the roof of the public bogs
There's another choir doing a session
Another choir does its thing first
The boys sit with the ducks
A duck in a patch of green grass
Fred and Harry in the green grass near the Mere
Looking over the Mere towards Chapel Street
Fred tells Harry to be quiet
A fisherman takes a nap
Diss from over the Mere
A moorhen shows off its absurd feet
The boys down by the Mere, where it's green
The choir comes over the top of the hill
One man and his dog
The choir is set up
The choir is ready to go
People assemble to watch
The choir is introduced
Isobel centre gives it some
More Invidia singing
A bench full of audience
Fred, Sophie and Grace
Soph the Roph bounces into the air
Fred and Sophie do a bit of a dab
A pink tutu runs around
Fred and Sophie do a bit of flossing
The grandly-named 'event team' hand out balloons
Grace joins in the jumping
A collecting bucket goes around
One of Fred's former teachers is in the audience
A scruffy dog gets a scratch
Milling around after the gig
Sophie's funky shoes
Prosecco is poured out
Some prosecco is handed out
Fred hangs on to a bar
The bass section have a moment
Harry and Fred kick a balloon around
Grandad plonks himself on the parched grass
The children wait for tea down at the Oaksmere
Tilly Dog looks baleful
Pippa and Apple John happen by
Fred's got a box of magic tricks
Pippa and Apple wander off to the bar
Harry and the Pirate Ship
