title A Virtual New Year's Eve, Brome, Suffolk - 31st December 2020 intro It's the last day of 2020, and in true Covid style it involves an open-house Zoom meeting. We have a laptop in the dining room, and phones in the kitchen and lounge so it's possible to roam around like at a real party and chat to different people. There are also a few stray photos from the usual bike ride through Thrandeston to Mellis, lunch at Cafeye, and a frosty morning. imgc6949 The village waterpump at Thrandeston Little Green imgc6952 Isobel checks the menu in Caféye imgc6953 Isobel roams around Caféye after paying up imgp5422 It's a misty morning over the side field imgp5424 The blade of a turbine chops the sun imgp5425 A frosty pattern on an outdoor sofa imgp5430 Frosty berries imgp5433 The 100-acre field is being left fallow imgp5439 Even nettles look nice with some frost on imgp5443 Frosty thistles imgp5445 Another frost-edged plant imgp5453 Isobel's surrounded by crochet imgp5454 Fred shares out some Coke Zero imgp5459 Isobel surveys the table imgp5460 We have New Year's Eve tapas imgp5462 Isobel sets up a Zoom call imgp5467 Evelyn's on the call imgp5468 Even Julie and Cameron from Australia are on imgp5472 The Devil's Handbasin garage imgp5473 A close-up of the garage imgp5476 A dude on an ancient bike cycles off to Diss imgp5477 The former Swan pub on the A140 imgp5479 Isobel looks out over a field
