title Isobel's Relatives Visit, Brome, Suffolk - 20th July 2024 intro A whole heap of Isobel's relatives are meeting up at the house. Firsly, there's Julie and Cameron, who are over from Australia via a few months in Canada, and then there's cousin Sheena with her family, who are visiting from the slightly-nearer Lincoln. It's fairly crowded so the Lincolnshire posse are camping in the garden, and feeding so many people (12 in total) is challenging, so it's a barbeque one night followed by giant pizzas from the kebab shop in Eye the next. After that, there's a stop off at Stonham Parva on the way back from dropping Fred off at orchestra rehearsal and a chance to check out the closed-down Magpie pub, and the remains of the missing Grade II listed gibbet sign that used to span the A140, but which was damaged and removed in July 2021. imgp4390 It's barbeque and beer on the patio imgp4393 The fire pit is lit imgp4399 Fred gets a photo of some flowers imgp4402 Fred gets his Lego Saturn V out for some reason imgp4405 Harry waves a burning stick around imgp4407 We get giant pizzas from the Eye kebab shop imgp4410 Harry's on the trampoline imgp4411 Harry comperes a family talent show imgp4412 Julie finds it all amusing imgp4413 Sheena recites the poem Jaberwocky imgp4414 Fred does a Rubik's cube demonstration imgp4424 There's an acrobatic demonstration imgp4431 A version of synchronised swimming occurs imgp4440 There's a performance on the trampoline imgp4445 Cameron sings an Australian children's song imgp4450 Fred plays one of his Grade 7 pieces imgp4451 Nosher accompanies Isobel and her fiddle imgp4460 The gang make a human pyramid imgp4464 The human pyramid breaks up imgp4472 Fred holds up a solved 2x2 Rubik's cube imgp4475 Everyone seems to be doing cubes imgp4477 There are some curious clouds in the sky imgp4479 Dark skies over the new arbour imgp4480 Fred and Isobel at the Oaksmere imgp4481 Harry's got his Katana out again imgp4484 Julie and Cameron at the Oaksmere imgp4485 Harry gives a funny look imgp4488 The missing Magpie sign and the closed-down pub imgp4489 The Magpie pub at Stonham Parva imgp4497 A derelict caravan in the Magpie's garden imgp4499 A fire engine rushes up the A140 at Stonham
