(Not sure what's happened to the portrait pictures - I resized them to be 800 pixels on the long side but they have been resized in the upload process - Maybe David can sort them out if he sees this)

We went on Saturday and enjoyed the day enormously. I was introduced to Mr Lampwortroy via his tee shirt and met The Commentator in a churchyard! Small world.

Here is a sample of the engines and some people creating the atmoshphere that is special to that small town:

Another wonderfull weekend at Bishops Castle, since the first rally there in 1970 (?) Father has always wanted to go up the hill on his engine. Today we did it twice, some 40 years later!. Bottom gear first, then in top.

Nephew drove an engine for the first time at Kemble, then a go on a tasker at Fairford. Now he has driven on the road. Fair play he is very good!.

Many thanks to you and your family for your hospitality, all the stewards and helpers who were smashing and a great help.

Just got back.

A massif thanks to Alistair, Claire and Co. for a brilliant weekend and allowing us to look after the roller - what a lovely machine it is to drive!

Also a big thanks for organising the weather to make Vicky say the words "it doesn't even have to be an expensive caravan, just as long as it's warm and dry"...no more looking at £18k caravans!
