Fred's Last Day of Primary School, Eye, Suffolk - 22nd July 2020

For a while it seemed like the end of primary school for Fred was going to have been a fait accompli - lockdown having put paid to any sort of recognition of a formal "end of forever", and for it to have fizzled out before it ever really happened. However, the final year ended up going back for the end of the last term, and so Clive decided to get the GMC truck to celebrate by way of hauling a bunch of them off on the last day. Later on, the Oaksmere is doing a test run of its new Covid-aware service, and Isobel scores an invite to be one of the Guinea pigs.
