title Aldeburgh Lifeboats with The Old Chap, and a Night at Amandines, Diss, Norfolk - 1st March 2009 intro Nosher's Old Chap - granddad to Fred - comes over to visit for the weekend. First, however, Nosher and Isobel are over in Linton for a bit of a curry-and-pancake thrash with Janet and James. Then, the following Saturday after The Old Man has arrived, we all pile over to Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast for fish and chips, along with the de-rigeur queueing that goes with it. We also get to see the Aldeburgh lifeboat as it comes in from exercises as we're walking around on the beach. On Saturday night, whilst the Old Chap watches telly or something, Nosher, Isobel and The Boy go out for the evening at Amandines café in Diss, which is hosting one of its dinner and music nights, this time with Nosher's band-mates Rob and Jo. imgp3569 Janet reads a story to Fred imgp3571 Fred gets a bed-time story imgp3576 Janet does pancakes imgp3585 Seagulls flock around waiting for chips imgp3588 There's some join lifeboat exercise going on imgp3591 Isobel hauls the buggy about on the beach imgp3593 An abandoned boat imgp3594 Some dude potters around a fisherman's hut imgp3596 The old man mills around imgp3600 The Old Chap climbs some steps outside a fish stall imgp3601 Even Aldeburgh has derelict buildings imgp3602 Amusing fish-related sign imgp3603 Isobel and The Boy outside the Aldeburgh Moot Hall imgp3607 Cute gnarled life belt: Amy-Jim II imgp3608 This might not pass "Part P" electrical regs imgp3618 Isobel grins up at Nosher, who's standing on a wall imgp3620 The Aldeburgh lifeboat is hauled over the beach imgp3626 A tractor pulls the lifeboat in imgp3631 Activity around the lifeboat imgp3633 The RNLB "Freddie Cooper" imgp3639 Chap and Isobel hang around, waiting for Nosher imgp3641 The lifeboat is chocked up imgp3648 Isobel chats to a dog imgp3649 The Old Man on Aldeburgh High Street imgp3653 Rob and Jo do their thing in Amandines imgp3665 Nosher imgp3672 Boxes of tea behind the counter imgp3683 Rob and Jo imgp3690 The scene in Amandines imgp3694 Fred the Head wakes up for a bit imgp3701 Fred is introduced to the next table imgp3703 Fred peers around imgp3710 The blue lights of Norfolk Yard, Diss imgp3712 Isobel pushes Fred up St. Nicholas Street imgp3717 Grandad says goodbye to The Boy imgp3723 Grandad stands by his car imgp3726 Isobel waves Grandad off imgp3727 Fred and Isobel
