Thorpe Abbots with Mick the Brick, and the GSB at Pulham - 13th September 2025

Mick the Brick is off to the 100th Bomb Group Museum at Thorpe Abbots and offers to give Nosher a lift, so we spend a couple of hours poking around before a drink and an Eccles cake in the café. It's quite surprising how busy it is given that it's a Wednesday morning, as there's at least one pre-booked tour group and the control tower is almost standing-room only for a bit. The following weekend, the Gislingham Silver Band is once again playing at the Pulham Market carnival, where it's a bit windy but generally nice, but we finish with only minutes before it starts raining. As we're playing, Isobel borrows the camera and gets a few photos.
