Another year gone by, and back to Henham again, last year mainly old buses was the theme, this year gorgeous horses......as well as the steam engines as always....
The love and care that they put on these machines is remarkable...
This is girl power!!!!
Think they outgrew this one!
This is Rocky, he was so calm, as were all the Suffolk Punches..... we sat on a straw bale and watched them parage round, and they are great in everyway.....
The lady driving this carriage has lovingly restored it but the horse she obviously loves and it was so smart...we watched the classic cars as well, but think I put them on here last year....
Do not remember seeing this last year.....there were lots of woodcutters of course and some of their work was wonderful...
In the tents were the crafts, amazing how good some people are, lace making and spinning wheels, could not take photo's of everything, but all the old crafts there....
Plus those great steam organs playing away all the time, very nice indeed...
And of course meeting lots of old friends as one wandered around, always great... (and if you are looking in Bev and Tony sorry we missed you, at the hog roast,but thanks for the lovely evening last night.).....mmmmm ..yes the hog roast, (sorry vegetarians)....was yummy.
This of course is what it all used to be about getting troshed! how they managed to keep this going each year is amazing....just imagine what it used to be like for all those farm workers.....
Thanks for taking me Ivan I know how much you wanted to go, and I said I didn't ....but I really did enjoy it all.....
Have been rather unwell in November, so have not taken much on in the way of cakes!!!but this is supposed to be Polar Bears......so far everyone calls them Doggies... Whoops...
I watched TV programme for "Home made Christmas" and thought they looked cute.....Maybe I should have stuck with Santa!!!!!!
Every year there is here in England, a veteren car race from London to Brighton..... there was a film called Genevieve that was a great take off of this...
I know how a lot of people do not like spiders, but as not many people look on here nowadays, had to just put this photo I took of my monkey tree this morning. the spiders have been very busy, my camera does not really do them justice......they look like lace......
Clever little things garden spiders.......
Hope you two do not mind me borrowing this one...... glad you have had a great week in Paris.... looking forward to seeing you on Saturday......
Honestly just look at the state of him!!!!!this was a few days ago...... today we had to go and visit the vet.... as he has a terrible throat and cough, however after her examination it is not too serious and he has had an antibiotic injection..
The big band looking rather serious before starting to play at the open day at Flixton ...
I wish I could have recorded the sound as well ... it was amazing.. the sound in the hanger was really good....the dancers are from the swing jive group, they were at the Hanger Dance we went to earlier in the year, and taught Liz and I how to do some steps!!
Such energy hope you can imagine how it was....
This is a blur as they were going so fast.....
The Lancaster did a fly past ..a great climb....afraid my little camera could not capture it as on Dives blog at Goodwood, but I tried....
Our friends Bev and Tony ... I know you have some great shots of everything Tony, looking forward to seeing them.....
There is a walk that takes you down to the river, and Jan hid behind me she is like me does not like having her photo taken!!!, and I told you to smile Derek not grimace....you know I like to put the pics on here, so next time grin more!!!
