title Bressingham Gardens, and Building Progress, Brome, Suffolk - 26th August 2013 intro It's a nice day, it's a bank holiday weekend, and the annual season ticket is about to run out, so we head off to nearby Bressingham Steam Museum for another go of the gallopers, steam trains, a look at the restoration of a 1909 steam car, and a walk in the gardens. The gardens are somewhat like those of Alton Towers - tucked away, somewhat overshadowed by everything else, but well worth a look. A few days before, it's raining so there's nothing much else to do apart from eat a hotdog in the van down by The Mere, and afterwards there's a catch-up with the current state of the various extension and new-build works. imgp3933 Mount Street is closed due to a burst water main imgp3935 Fred has a drink whilst he eats his sausage imgp3936 A rain-spattered view of the Diss town sign imgp3938 The gang in the van imgp3941 Harry eats bread imgp3943 Fred roams around the gardens of Bressingham imgp3944 Adrian Bloom's garden in summer imgp3946 A field of yellow flowers imgp3953 The garden hut imgp3954 Fred peers out from the bridge imgp3955 Harry on the gallopers imgp3960 Governor balls imgp3965 The Robert Tidman of Norwich steam engine imgp3968 Fred and Isobel spin round imgp3979 Hand-drawn copper tubes in the steam car boiler imgp3984 The River Waveney's old course imgp3989 Fred pretends to be asleep on the steam train ride imgp3991 Fred, Isobel and Harry play crazy golf imgp3993 A dude puts the boiler back in to the steam car imgp3998 Harry stumps about imgp4001 Ruston the shunter trundles over imgp4012 Twiddle-handle door of an old EMU imgp4013 Wheel bogey built by BR Timken works imgp4015 The base of the new garage imgp4016 The brick bas of the garage appears imgp4017 The side extension takes shape imgp4019 Crushed concrete and a skip imgp4021 Millie the Mooch has a sniff imgp4023 Bricks appear near the pile of sand imgp4025 The start of the garage wall imgp4026 The back room is coming along nicely imgp4027 Boris comes out for a look imgp4029 The new back room imgp4030 The side extension and garage imgp4032 Shiny Cellotex imgp4034 The back room takes shape imgp4035 Boris sits around and watches imgp4037 More shiny Cellotex goes up imgp4050 A misty morning view as the scaffolding goes up
