title The Death of the Feather Factory, Diss, Norfolk - 30th August 2024 intro Nosher, Fred and Harry are up in Norwich to do the annual requirement that is school shoe shopping, along with trousers, socks and all the rest of it. As a payback, we have a late lunch at Pizza Express - for the first time in ages. A couple of days later, we're up in Diss for a welcome visit to Andy Sausage, also for the fist time in ages since Andy stopped doing Saturdays by Mere's Mouth. Also in Diss, the old Feather Factory on Park Road has been completely demolished in the last couple of weeks, so that's worth a few photos. Finally, on Friday evening, there's the launch of the Brome and Oakley Life calendar down at the village hall, comprising of local photographs voted for by the public at a competition during the summer fete. It's a bit of a family affair as Nosher ended up with three photos included, with a hare jumping across Rectory Road being used as the front cover, whilst Isobel also won a couple of spots with her Northern Lights and a picture of the resevoir on a misty morning. imgc0023 The BSCC is at the Rushall Half Moon again imgc0024 The Boy Phil's at the bar at Ampersand imgp6137 The Haymarket Hill development continues imgp6138 New steps on the Haymarket imgp6139 Fred scopes out a fancy Lotus outside Chapelfield imgp6142 Harry has some pasta at Pizza Express imgp6143 The boys in Pizza Express in the Forum imgp6144 Fred and Harry get massive cookies from the market imgp6146 The boys look at Lego Minecraft in Jarrold's imgp6147 Harry considers some Pokémon cards in Jarrolds imgp6148 We head down the back stairs imgp6149 The bottom of Exchange Street in Norwich imgp6150 Harry has a moment of ennui in the car park lift imgp6152 It's heaving at the Friday market in Diss imgp6154 We make a welcome return to Andy Sausage in Diss imgp6156 Plants for sale in the market imgp6158 The Diss Museum in the old shambles imgp6159 A clothes stall in front of the old Post Office imgp6160 There's a queue at Andy's sausage van imgp6161 Something's going on in the old Mere Moments café imgp6163 A lost chair near a pile of rubble imgp6164 The old feather factory has completely gone imgp6165 A digger chews up the old feather factory imgp6172 Jane and Isobel chat by the calendar display imgp6173 Fred and Sophie play Exploding Kittens imgp6175 Tony chats to Marc and Suey at the bar imgp6180 Isobel and the calendar gang pose for a photo
