A Trip Down South, New Milton, Hampshire - 9th April 2022

Nosher's down in New Milton - the old manor - to catch up with Sean, and also to see Phil who's over from the US for the first time in three years. Whilst in New Milton, we nip round to meet up with Phil, who's staying at his mother's pad, and then later Sean and Nosher head into the Conservative Club. This is not without some internal political conflict, but the place does have a number of nice snooker tables, and it's quite amusing even being there at all. Before all of that, there's an hour to kill in Diss whilst Isobel gets a haircut, and then we're off to Woodbridge for a couple of hours so Isobel can pick up her renovated violin.
