The Jubilee Torch Run, Brome and Oakley, Suffolk - 25th May 2022

Suffolk's Jubilee Torch tour - where a symbolic torch is being carried by cycle rickshaw through every village in the county - makes it to Brome and Oakley, after a brief diversion caused by not being able to get through the gate on the old Oakley crossroads road. Once it reaches Brome, Jack from the village is picked up to carry the torch through to Oakley, where he's dropped off again. There's a good turnout outside the village hall to watch th proceedings. After that, there are some nice field-margin flowers just outside Gislingham, spotted on a Thursday morning bike ride.
