Fig Pie Rolling Wybunbury

[davidje]

We met in the yard in the wet, took photo's in the wet and came home in the wet. Despite that the crowds turned out, including the local MP who rolled the first pie decorated with the Union flag. We found a group picknicking in the graveyard in the pouring rain and taking the discomfort away with Champagne. Fig Pie Day is a bit of British eccentricity which we love. There were a couple of engines with new owners, one of them was blowing off a lot but then I suppose the new owner has to learn how to manage an engine as we all did. There was a handful of engines but then it is not a rally but there were other things worth recording.

Many thanks to Mark and his team for a great day out

Was a great day out, and to be fair wasn't half as wet as I expected!

:-)

Beats Cholmondeley Pageant of Power for me, nice friendly relaxed day, and doesn't cost anyone to get in either. :-)

It didn't cost you anything in petrol either and you somehow got your cheese roll at half price. A good day out for 50p. I'm not suggesting anything . . . . .

We all know how you end up with so many "spare " rolls !

Although it was wet it was not cold (unless your a brown dog), it was nice to talk other T.T members and engine owners who happened to be passing as well as others including the younger generation of whistle blowers and fire lookers.

looks as if i did better than Buzzy Bee ....i got a free ham bap of a nice young lady !.
