Last weekend’s excursion into East Anglia first took in the English Whisky Company, near Thetford in Norfolk, which is the first new whisky distillery opened in England for a century.
The Morris men then moved on to Bressingham Steam and Gardens, where they enjoyed the parks, steam locomations and gallopers, and finally the Old Cannon Brewery in Bury St Edmunds.
“The weather was good, we were well received – it was fantastic,” said the group’s squite Steve Westwood.
“The English Whisky Company was interesting – there was sampling at the end, which we all enjoyed.
