title Fred and the SYWO at Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk - 7th September 2025 intro Fred's performing with the Suffolk Youth Wind Orchestra at Snape Maltings, so after dropping him off the rest of us head off to the nearby Plough and Sail for a bit of lunch, where there's some sort of convention of cars from 1905 or something. Then Nosher, Isobel and Harry go for a short walk along the banks of the River Alde, and then just generally hang out on the giant bench for a bit before the concert. Before all of that though, on the last day of August, Nosher is discharged from hospital for the second time following a recurrence of the kidney infection. imgc20250831_115303 Edgefield Ward is on the first floor, left imgc20250831_154456 A last visit to the ward bathroom imgc20250831_115626 The entrance to the Centre Block wards imgp4221 There's a good load of tomatoes from the greenhouse imgc20250906_143237 Fred gets a haircut at Louise Stock in Diss imgp4222 Fred wanders off to Snape Maltings imgp4223 Fred and a gang of musicians head off to rehearsal imgp4227 There are a load of really old cars outside the pub imgp4229 An old car is like some mad steam-punk invention imgp4230 The amazing old car outside the Plough and Sail imgp4231 The Plough and Sail has a tree in the guttering imgp4232 Harry's on his phone imgp4233 Virginia Creeper all over Snape Maltings imgp4235 A family heads off for a paddle down the river imgp4236 We go for a short walk up the River Alde imgp4238 Snape Maltings from across the river imgp4245 Isobel looks out over the river imgp4247 Another canoe paddles by imgp4249 The river tour boat comes back from a trip imgp4253 Harry tries to put his zip back together imgp4254 Harry and Isobel in the Snape café imgp4256 The table condiments have a nice view imgp4261 Sunset over Snape Bridge imgp4264 The Dutch holday barge on the river imgp4267 There are a couple of cormorants on Diss Mere imgp4268 A fisherman puzzles over his location imgp4272 ATS in Diss has closed down imgp4273 There's a wilderness outside the defunct ATS
