A Fire at Valley Farm, Thrandeston, Suffolk - 24th June 2009
The Boy Phil texts on Wednesday night to say that Nosher had missed all the excitement: a teleporter (no, not the sci-fi matter-transport device, but a bale-lifting tractor-type-thing) had caught fire and destroyed a large barn at Valley Farm. As he's off for a few days looking after The Boy™, Nosher heads over the following morning to have a look at the devastation. In addition, the first few photos in this set (fsck*) are contributed by The Boy Phil (© Non-Commercial;Attribution Phil M), and show some of the actual event in progress...

The next day, Nosher and Fred come to visit: Phil carries Fred around for a bit whilst Nosher takes some photos |
