title The GSB at Wickham Skeith, Suffolk - 19th November 2022 intro The Gislingham Silver Band is playing carols for the friends of Wickham Skeith church, who are doing their traditional Christmas pudding mixing in the village hall. Adrian - the musical director - is in full costume as a fairly authentic Father Christmas, on account of the impressive beard. Before that, we're in Ipswich to drop Fred off at a SYWO practice, then the apple harvest is being dropped off for pressing at Moat Farm in Kenton. imgp0002 There's a rude teddy bear on Norwich Road, Ipswich imgp0003 Broad Street in Eye is closed imgp0005 120kg of apples doesn't look much in a huge crate imgp0006 Valley Farm's grain harvest imgp0007 Wavy's off doing some spraying imgp9450 Cat trots off around the field imgp9461 Lucy - the one-eyed cat - looks around imgp9462 Millions of cobwebs in the field imgp9470 In Wickham Skeith village hall imgp9473 Adrian really is Santa Claus imgp9477 The pudding mixers start work imgp9479 Adrian checks on proceedings imgp9484 Adrian announces the next step of the process imgp9486 It's busy in the village hall imgp9491 Adrian applies some brandy to each mix imgp9494 A pudding mixer takes a short break imgp9496 Carrie buys a bowl of mixture imgp9497 Terry chats to Julian imgp9502 The band get some pies and drinks imgp9505 Sheila wins a raffle prize imgp9507 Adrian draws another raffle ticket imgp9511 Fred hopefully holds on to his raffle ticket imgp9514 Wickham Skeith Village Hall imgp9516 Fred wanders around what used to be a lake imgp9521 Fred's got a big stick
