There's a rude teddy bear on Norwich Road, Ipswich
The GSB at Wickham Skeith, Suffolk - 19th November 2022
The Gislingham Silver Band is playing carols for the friends of Wickham Skeith church, who are doing their traditional Christmas pudding mixing in the village hall. Adrian - the musical director - is in full costume as a fairly authentic Father Christmas, on account of the impressive beard. Before that, we're in Ipswich to drop Fred off at a SYWO practice, then the apple harvest is being dropped off for pressing at Moat Farm in Kenton.
