Dot and I went down town today to visit two of the three events we knew about and found a fourth. The other two we visited were the fortnightly farmers' markets and the Rotary Book Fair at which we made quite a few purchases. The third was the RSPCA's paws day and we a saw a massive dog walk taking off nearby. But the fourth one was completely unanticipated and by far the most interesting!
It was a display of vintage cars attached to the farmers' market and there were dozens of delightfully restored vehicles from around the world, several of which me back almost half a century or more. I'll let the pictures tell the story:
This one below is owned by one of my female bridge opponents.
I seem to remember owning one of these (below) while living in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Oxford.
Dad owned a Rover of about the same vintage when we were growing up, but this seems to be a swishier model.
I was told that nearly everything at the display was locally owned, and I now fancy owning one myself!
