A Week in Ipswich, Suffolk - 30th June 2025

Nosher's in Ipswich for jury duty - a process which involves eight train trips and about fifteen hours of hanging around, but only around six hours of time in court before the case is abandoned on the fourth day. There's also a quick trip up Civic Drive on one day to try and source some emergency reading glasses - to no avail - so there's a lot of squinting required. Later, Fred's getting a lift in Andrew's Austin A35, along with Soph the Roph, to the end-of-school dance - or "prom" as it seems depressingly fashionable to call it.
