It's a fancy cream tea in the Oaksmere
Diss Heritage Transport Festival and the GSB at Wickham Skeith - 22nd September 2024
We're driving back from a trip to Bressingham when Isobel spots an online reference to the Diss Heritage Transport Festival, so we divert off the main road to find the whole town centre closed off and full of classic cars. That's worth a stop so we park up and spend a while looking around at a large turn out of classic motors, from the 1930s right up to a few from the mid 1990s. The day before, The Gislingham Silver Band is playing for a church fundraiser at St. Andrew in Wickham Skeith, and the week or so before that Isobel cashes in a voucher for a very nice cream tea at the Oaksmere.
