A Few Hours at the Zoo, Banham, Norfolk - 8th January 2023

Isobel's away in Dublin for the weekend and so misses a surprising turn of events where it's the boys who actually suggest going out to do something, instead of sitting on their arses watching telly or playing Xbox all day. The suggestion is Banham Zoo, which Fred went to only the weekend before but the rest of us haven't been for ages. After the zoo, there's a very brief stop at the Banham Barrel - the home venue of the BBs and site of numerous legendary gigs - just to see if it's still there. It is, although its camping field has now become a housing estate.
