...and several magnificent women too.
It was enjoyable last year and they were out in force again last weekend; the Cambridgeshire Vintage Tractor Run passed through several villages, raising money for the National Health Service as they went.
To make things a little different this year we headed to the nearby village of Barrington, the beauty of which I've shown you before. It was a good idea and one that many other people had too - they make quite a carnival of it in Barrington. Here are some of the many photos I took.....
Last year they raised £3,500 but I'm sure it will be more this year. And finally, this was nothing to do with tractors, but I couldn't resist photographing this throwback to the 1960s that I saw parked up in the village:
Take care.
Wonderful John - excellent photos ... and they all looked as though they were enjoying themselves ... is that a Lambretta ... great remembrances and I'm sure they raised a fair amount for the NHS ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteCommunity spirit at its best, and they raised money for a good cause too. Even the notoriously fickle English weather cooperated.
ReplyDeleteThey are all to be applauded, what a magnificent sight it must have been and for such a worthy cause!
ReplyDeleteThe pristine looking scooter brings back a few memories. It certainly looks cherished by someone.
Apprently that scooter owned by lesis nancy . She loves to see chaps on tractors .think pictures coveredthe prarade well well done with photos chaps r john....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! They sure look happy sharing their colorful tractors!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so proud of their tractors!
ReplyDeleteI have never been a motorcycle with its own spare and there are a lot of motorcycles traveling through New Hampshire this time of year. Good weather and no helmet law.
ReplyDeleteBut what a mixture of tractors. Do tractors have horns to blow as they go past? On the list of activities here in my township in August is a tractor pull. That should be interesting to see.
Regarding thst last photograph - presume you want one??
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little parade of the workhorses that represent the power that brings our agriculture about.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a parade! Looks like a fun day there.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun, and nice that it's for a good cause. Some wonderful old workhorses there.
ReplyDeleteThose are well looked after.
ReplyDeleteThose old machines and the thatched roof houses…priceless! Love this.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see this parade. Thanks for showing it to us.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. There is a similar interest in vintage tractors here.
ReplyDeleteThose old tractors are beauties and loved very much by their owners. Great shots, John.
ReplyDeleteWow there are so many vintage tractors. A great idea to raise money for NHS in these dark times.
