title Christmas Day and Other Stuff, Diss, Brome and Norwich - 25th December 2022 intro We spend a quiet Christmas day at home, with a traditional mix of dinner, presents and a couple of beers up at the Oaksmere. Before that, there's a cycling trip over to Ampersand's taproom in Diss for some pre-Christmas beer, then after Boxing Day we're in Norwich for a mini shopping spree in the sales. There's also an evening of Dungeons and Dragons with one of Harry's Christmas presents, with Grace taking on the role of Dungeon Master. imgp0001 The Boy Phil returns from the bar imgp0002 Matthew and Jessica in Ampsersand's taproom imgp0007 Paul hangs around imgp0010 The Salvation Army band plays in the market place imgp0011 Harry the Tycoon sits back during a Monopoly game imgp0013 It's daylight so it's time for present opening imgp0014 Harry works on a present imgp0018 It's Isobel's turn to do a present imgp0022 Fred's lock-picking kit from Sis and Grandma J imgp0025 Isobel with a half pint in the Oaksmere's bar imgp0026 Fred, Harry and Soph the Roph imgp0027 Fred practices lock picking imgp0028 Harry plays with a 3D-printed dragon model imgp0031 Harry tries a Manga-drawing present imgp0036 Skeleton trees on the Oaksmere's drive imgp0037 Fred tips out some stuffing for Christmas dinner imgp0040 Fred plants some hot chillies imgp0043 Isobel tries out a Christmas metal detector imgp0044 Molly Cat tries to eat Fred imgp0049 Molly's up a tree imgp0060 Molly has a doze in a favourite spot imgp0062 Harry and Soph get ready for a game of D&D imgp0063 Grace is Dungeon Master imgp9899 A poster of Chippy the London seagull imgp9900 Harry buys a radio-controlled car in Jarrold imgp9902 Isobel buys a fancy new espresso machine imgp9903 The ghostly remains of Topshop and Topman imgp9906 Harry is Ask Italian in Chapelfield imgp9907 The back entrance of the defunct Topshop imgp9910 Harry and Fred wait for Nosher to buy new shoes imgp9911 There's Queen Victoria postbox on King Street imgp9913 Class 37 37608 "Andromeda" at Norwich station imgp9916 The ancient Class 37 Andromeda by our train imgp9917 Greater Anglia trains on the platform imgp9919 The Wickham Skeith pudding is set alight
