title Fred's Party at the Pub, The Swan Inn, Brome, Suffolk - 11th October 2009 intro Fred was a year old a few weeks ago, but partly because we were away in Mallorca at the time, as because there are several other babies reaching the same milestone within the same month-or-so, it's decided that there will be a massed party at the Brome Swan. It's a kind of Bedlam, as would be expected, but everything goes off without major tantrums. The "DJ Shagz" experience even gets to spin some tunes. imgp0421 The Shell petrol station in Diss gets rebuilt imgp0424 The petrol station roof is on the ground imgp0428 A line of roof posts imgp0433 A view of the Shell Shop imgp0436 The old Bartrum's site in Diss imgp0437 Weeds grow through the cracked concrete imgp0440 Some of the concrete gets dug up imgp0442 Piles of crushed concrete on Victoria Road imgp0456 A squirrel eats walnuts imgp0468 A tarpaulin keeps most of the food off the carpet imgp0472 Clive brings along a bubble machine imgp0481 Matthew waves at bubbles imgp0483 Elizabeth gets carried around imgp0488 The cake for Fred, et al imgp0490 Fred's covered in cake imgp0491 Fred the Head looks up imgp0492 Paul brings Jessica in for a bit imgp0499 Fred wants out imgp0500 A balloon is waved about imgp0502 Isobel holds Fred as Grace looks up imgp0513 It's time for presents imgp0530 The cake is cut imgp0543 Fred roams the garden collecting walnuts again imgp0561 The Boy imgp0567 Millie the kitten looks about imgp0571 Boris looks scared about everything imgp0573 Boris legs it as The Boy trundles in imgp0575 Fred and Boris look the other way imgp0578 Millie looks around imgp0584 Milly the kitten again imgp0585 Boris: Stripey Cat imgp0587 Millie on a bench
