Fred's New Bike and an A140 Closure, Brome, Suffolk - 27th February 2021
The shortage of bikes thanks to everyone and their dog buying one during Lockdown One means that we're about five months late getting Fred's birthday present, but finally something suitable shows up at Madgett's Cycles in Diss. After Mick Madgett saws off enough saddle post enough so that Fred can actually get on the thing, we take it out for a test spin - first for a follow-up visit with Isobel to the old sewage works on The Avenue, and then Nosher and Fred go out for a slightly longer ride through Mellis, where we catch up with the closure of the A140 as the road is diverted round the new roundabout.

Isobel and Harry wheel their bikes out
A miniature pony goes for a walk
Isobel and Harry on the avenue
Isobel pokes about
Harry kicks the burned-out car
The boys inspect the derelict car
Up on the wall of the derelict clarification tank
A random pipe sticks out of the ground
West's massive new chicken farm
A pumping station and a huge tank
Isobel gets ready to go
One leg of the Brome Triangle is closed off
The A140 is completely shut
More layers of closure further up
Fred and his new bike on the A140
The Thrandeston Road is closed too
The other roundabout is not yet ready to go
The other end of the closure, up by Yaxley
The new Yaxley junction
The new Castleton Way, on the left
Back home, we have a bit of a burn up
Tongues of orange and yellow flame
