A Walk Around Town, Diss, Norfolk - 10th October 2020

We're in Diss to see if we can get a bike for Fred, but Madgett's has pretty much run out. So we drop Fred off in town to hang out with The Roph, whilst Isobel spends a few hours in a café with Harry. Meanwhile, Nosher is doing the shopping and then has an hour or so to kill with a wander on foot around Diss, to see some of the less-seen things.
