Saturday 12th July
The weather looked threatening but the rain held off and there were periods of sun!
Farmers' Market and launch of Taste of Diss
A very lively market. The Diss-function Inspectors caused lots of laughter with their intrusive remarks, as did the Fairly Fresh Food Company.
Rough at the Edges sang well. There was a small, but lovely group of children dressed as vegetables. They were taught a song by Lucy Nashon and led through the streets singing.
Then there was the grand finale, with speeches by Simon Olander, Mayor of Diss, Jane Trippett-Jones, our Deputy Mayor, and the release of the the balloons in the balloon race.
Mini-market and carnival in the Courtyards
Norfolk House yard was buzzing in the afternoon. There were stalls, cool jazz from Ross Bradbury and visits from the Fairly Fresh Food Company and the Diss-function Inspectors.
Evening at Les Amandines in Norfolk House Yard
The Gill Alexander Duo played bass and guitar with vocals, mostly doing old jazz standards, while we all had a wonderful 3 course meal.
