To begin with, the sun had gone in, but for a short while during my visit, the sun did come out, I took a look around and even managed a short spell on Kevin Flint’s engine, as my namesake Rod, the MC, had been having little luck getting the public to take a ride around the arena.
Although I was careful to avoid getting my clothes dirty, my hands did need a thorough clean, but that was remedied by a visit to the temporary loos at the edge of the field.
There was a surprising number of visitors attending and in addition to the traction engines there was a display of various ancient tractors and a bouncy castle for the kids, and although I left when it started spitting with rain, in fact the weather held off well and it seemed the crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
I went back to Tringford reservoir after an hour or so and chatted some more before the cold wind got the better of me, and I returned home.
Hi Johnsam,
ReplyDeleteI tried to see if I could find an email address for you, to learn a bit more about you. I take it that you sell these Steam Showers, hence why you pointed me in that direction. I am due to sell my house and find another next year, so you never know, I might need something like that.
I thought by perusing your blogs I might learn something of your background, but nothing gelled.
The blog I do is really a vehicle for my photography and training, and when I can get it, my retouching skills.
Thanks for the comment, Rod
