A New Playground and Container Mountain, Eye, Suffolk - 7th November 2021

It's a bit of a round-up of randomness as there's a small protest aimed at COP26 down by the Mere in Diss, then we're up to Fox's Marina in Ipswich to buy some life vests in anticipation of picking up a canoe. Then, there's a brief stop to visit the nationally-famous Container Mountain that's appeared on the edge of Eye Airfield, just down the road. After that, we visit the newly-rebuilt playground on the Town Moors in Eye, where we also go to check up on the memorial tree we planted to remember Isobel's friend Anita - a walnut sapling that came from our own walnut tree in the back garden.
