    Great pics David. Looks like you both had a fab time. When you do come down to see us and come to the folk club (hopefully this year), I will put out some police 'cones' to keep a parking space for Lady Helens Car.

    David - that really brings back some memories for me. When I loved in Dorset we used to have an annual steam fair close to where I lived. It is great to see those old machines lovingly restored and operating.

    Thanks,

    Brian
