A Return to Bressingham Steam and Gardens, Bressingham, Norfolk - 28th March 2021

Bressingham Steam and Gardens partly re-opens in a lockdown style to allow walks around the gardens and the rest of the site, but without access to the engine sheds and with nothing running in the way of steam engines. It's still a nice wander around somewhere we've not been for ages, and there's even a chance to explore the further reaches of Foggy Bottom - never before visited, at least by Nosher.
