BSCC at Ampersand and Birthday Lego at Jarrold's, Norwich, Norfolk - 25th September 2021
Fred's got birthday money burning a hole in his pocket, so we head up to Norwich so he can spend it on even more Lego. Whilst there, we have pizza at Pizza Express on St Benedict's Street, where half the road has been set aside for outdoor seating. It's interesting to sit there and notice details not seen before even after around 32 years of visits and/or living down the road, but then it's the first time it's been possible to actually sit in the middle of the street and look around without being mown down by traffic. Before that, the remains of the BSCC are riding the long-way-round to Ampersand's Tap Room on Sawmills Road in Diss, and Morrison's petrol station has mostly run out on account of the fuel crisis, so they're only letting in the odd key worker or something.
