Rallies, trips and interesting things . . . .
I'm thinking of putting up some photos of places we have been - probably the wrong time of year to start this since in the winter months we spend more time in the workshop.
Here are a couple of photos taken by Miss Sam Jones. See the link to her own photography web page on the links page.
James Cummins and I 'stole' 1915 Burrell 3665 for a quick run round the playpen at the kemble show.
Here, a rare photo of father and son with Garrett 32122 'The Greyhound'.
These next few photos were on Sunday 12th October.
Sam is very keen on ploughing engines and tries to get the chance, when he can to get on the footplate. Here he is on the Marriner families' engine 16646 encouraging his dad to be Fowler keen also ! Thanks to James for making it possible . . and the photo too.
There is a road run that meets at the Wheat Down PH just outside Andover. Several engines were there and this year it seemed like many more vintage cars than normal. Again, the weekend had wonderful weather.
These photos were taken on Saturday 16th August. It was meant to be the Fairford Rally, however the field was too wet and alas the event was cancelled. Many engines had already collected so there was a chance to extract them from their yard and have a run to the pub and then press on towards the trip home.
