The Bethesda Chapel on Earsham Street
A Postcard from Bungay, Suffolk - 2nd November 2022
We head over to Beccles on what is actually Isobel's birthday to finally pick up the ashes that were Grandad. On the way back we stop off at Bungay - Nosher's old stomping ground when working at Clays the book printers - for a poke around, and a bit of cake in Ma Belle bakery. We also try to find the marks of Black Shuck, but each of two adjacent churches claims that it's in the other, so we ended up none the wiser.
