title A Summer Party, and the GSB at North Cove, Suffolk - 16th July 2023 intro It's time for a summer party, and there are two full kegs of homebrew - a mild and a saison - ready to go. Then, the Gislingham Silver Band is doing a gig at the Three Horseshoes pub just off the Lowestoft road a few miles beyond Beccles. Despite the middle-of-nowehere vibe, there's a reasonable turnout and the set goes down well with the locals. imgp0030 Harry as Robin Hood, and Disco Dave, are ready imgp4897 One of Fred's old jam-jar labels re-appears imgp4898 The 100-acre barley field is harvested imgp4915 Lucy Cat attacks a nearby boot imgp4919 The combine offloads into a waiting trailer imgp4923 There's a crowd outside the garage bar imgp4927 Sylvia's in the dining room imgp4928 Apple and Wavy are in the bar imgp4931 There's a crowd in the dining room imgp4933 Pip and Apple get some food imgp4935 Soph and Alice scope the table out imgp4939 Sylvia gets the cake out imgp4942 Jill and Colin chat to Phil and Paul imgp4943 Party conversation imgp4948 Adrian roams around at the Three Horseshoes imgp4950 Fred and the Gislingham Silver Band imgp4954 Adrian chats to Harriet and David imgp4955 Fred gives the hairy eyeball imgp4957 Harry and Isobel chat to Fred imgp4960 The Three Horseshoes in North Cove imgp4961 The old Lowestoft Road just stops imgp4963 The church of St. Botolph in North Cove imgp4966 The nave of St. Botolph imgp4969 Some of St. Botolph's 14th-century wall paintings imgp4974 The mediaeval wall paintings of St. Botolph imgp4975 The point where the old Lowestoft road ends imgp4976 The band leaves after the gig imgp4979 Fred wanders around imgp4980 Harry pretends to be a vicar imgp4982 More of the mediaeval wall paintings imgp4983 Some old stained glass imgp4985 Fred plays a bit of flute in the graveyard imgp4986 A fenced-in memorial imgp4988 Harry and Isobel poke around in the graveyard
