title A Week in Ipswich, Suffolk - 30th June 2025 intro Nosher's in Ipswich for jury duty - a process which involves eight train trips and about fifteen hours of hanging around, but only around six hours of time in court before the case is abandoned on the fourth day. There's also a quick trip up Civic Drive on one day to try and source some emergency reading glasses - to no avail - so there's a lot of squinting required. Later, Fred's getting a lift in Andrew's Austin A35, along with Soph the Roph, to the end-of-school dance - or "prom" as it seems depressingly fashionable to call it. imgp0046 Ipswich Railway station imgp0049 The Maltings - the former Hollywood nightclub imgp0051 The Crown Court and Ipswich Borough Council imgp0052 There's some building work behind Portman Road imgp0053 The River Orwell imgp0056 A large Aroma tag by the Orwell imgp0059 More graffiti and wall art imgp0060 Another version of an Aroma tag imgp0062 A close-up of the hare outside Ipswich station imgp0063 A pair of hares outside the ticket office imgp0064 Ipswich's original Victorian footbridge imgp0065 A look at Ipswich station from the platform end imgp0066 A bunch of Class 90 locos at Ipswich imgp0069 The waiting room at Needham Market station imgp0071 Little Movers camping shop has been part-demolished imgp0076 The remains of Little Movers' shop imgc20250702_133851 A giant ladybird on a wall on Princes Street imgc20250702_133953 There's a very sparkly hare on Princes Street imgc20250703_112047 A Class 66 "Shed" - 66712 - hauls freight imgc20250703_112102 Railfreight's Class 66 66712 at Ipswich imgc20250703_112930 Another Class 66 "Shed" rumbles through imgc20250703_113234 Class 66 66742 waits for a yellow light imgc20250703_113539 The train from Lowestoft is on Platform 1 imgp3281 We drop Fred off for his "prom" imgp3284 Soph the Roph and Fred before the end-of-school dance imgp3295 Fred and Sophie do the v's up imgp3299 Sophie and Fred by the wisteria imgp3304 Grace joins for a photo imgp3318 Isobel quints at some jewellery imgp3323 A famberly photo imgp3328 Grace gives Socks the Cat a cuddle
