title BSCC Beer Garden Hypothermia, Hoxne and Brome, Suffolk - 22nd April 2021 intro It's the first Thursday bike rides since the easing of lockdown, and we're on a very short ride to Hoxne to sit in a tent in what feels like sub-zero temperatures for a bit, but at least we're showing real dedication to the cause. Later on, Nosher and Isobel try the same sort of thing over at The Oaksmere, where despite the sun being out it's still about -5°C with windchill thanks to a wind that's been stuck in the north for the last three weeks. imgc7234 Leaves start to come out on Thornham Road imgc7235 A field of oilseed in flower imgc7236 The Earlsford Road junction in Thornham imgc7239 A field of oilseed just outside Eye, on the B1077 imgc7240 Gaz looks skyward in the Hoxne Swan beer garden imgc7241 Nosher's beer, and Phil has a slurp imgc7242 Paul, Phil and Gaz in the Swan beer garden imgc7243 The sun sets, taking any warmth with it imgc7244 We move into the marquee, which is 0.5° warmer imgc7245 All the pub furniture is now outside imgc7246 The empty smaller bar in the Hoxne Swan imgc7247 The "snug" room is deserted imgc7248 Lights around the marquee imgc7250 Paul and Gaz imgc7251 Gaz stands by the fire to warm up slightly imgc7252 A disused commercial building in the middle of Eye imgc7255 Church Street and Buckshorn Lane imgc7258 Harry and Isobel cycle up Church Street imgc7259 It's normal to have gloves on to drink beer imgc7260 Pippa and Apple are on the adjacent table imgc7261 Harry's got a blanket to keep warm imgc7263 Our pile of bikes imgp7068 The Oaksmere's marquee imgp7070 A grand old oak tree imgp7071 Another trip to the Oaksmere, gloves on imgp7074 Frazer stands on a table to do a raffle imgp7076 Isobel wanders about imgp7079 Blossom is out by the Oaksmere imgp7085 Some of Fred's collection imgp7086 More of Fred's impressive home-made museum imgp7090 Fred's bedroom has exploded or something
