When Johnny Came Home From The Fair

When Johnny came home from the Bedford Steam & Country Fair he found he had a lot more photos than he knew what to do with. So here are a few which I know certain people who read this blog will enjoy.....

For those who love horses.....



And for those who like interesting old tractors...


This 1935 Pattison tractor was designed specifically for work on golf courses or public parks.


For anyone who likes reflection photographs...




And one for the ornithologists and bird watchers....



Some people like a stylish car.....




Others will settle for something simpler....



This is the Peel P50 which was manufactured on the Isle Of Man. It has no reverse gear but has a handle at the back allowing it to be physically manoeuvred  if necessary. Only about 50 were made.


Postman Pat?





Anybody like to see shiny brass?....





Here's how you do it....





Lets finish off with another of those mighty horses....





Take care.

  4. Love them all, especially those heavy horses. I think such hobbies (and church cleaning) must keep Brasso in business!
