title A New Year Miscellany, Brome, Suffolk - 1st January 2025 intro It's a round-up of end-of-2024 and the new year, starting with a party round Tony and Sue's in Brome, and then our own New Year's eve party, featuring a free firework display courtesy of the Oaksmere, which sets off its midnight fireworks even though it's blowing around 40mph winds. The next day, there was talk of doing a pub walk, but the lashing rain puts paid to that. imgc20241228_164431 A very tasty Christmas Lancashire cheese imgp0011 There's a party at Tony and Sue's in Brome imgp0014 Big Steve chats in the kitchen imgp0015 Isobel - far right - chats away imgp0016 More party chatting in the lounge imgp0017 John gets a drink in the kitchen imgp0019 A fallen tree has trashed Brome Hall's wall imgp9110 Oaksmere sets off New Year's Eve fireworks imgp9111 The party has moved out to watch fireworks imgp9129 Party action in the kitchen imgp9131 Harry retrieves a fake hand from Eleanor imgp9132 Lashing rain scuppers pub-walk plans imgp9133 Wavy and Baby Lukáš come to visit imgp9139 A second-day moon sliver imgp9141 A thin crescent of moon imgp9159 The moon over the wind turbines of Eye airfield imgp0020 We get a rare Friday trip to Andy Sausage imgp0021 Diss market on a Friday
