Attended today even though the weather wasn't great. A very overcast day with slight drizzle BUT worse of all was the smoke from a couple of miniatures that just hung in the air and was really thick and acrid. Still it was nice to get out again.

Below are random snaps I took but the smoke spoilt quite a few and the rest were a headache where people showed no space awareness and just stood right in front of anyone trying to get a snap. It was great to see the steam crane working again. I hope you enjoy them

I just wanted to point out the bit above about people standing in the way was only directed at the general public not the owner and helpers etc.

Hello Nick,
I'm sorry that the smoke spoiled it for you, we were burning good smokeless coal. I don't know what the miniatures were burning though.
Mike.
