The weekend was very well organised by the Saunders Family. We were invited as guests with our little engine and were made very welcome. Saturday had the driest ground but it chucked it down late Saurday afternoon and rained for hours, it was amazing the site wasn't too bogged down on the Sunday. We put the spuds on the tractor and still managed a few tours round.
It's a very nice do and raises money to keep the adjoining beautifully restored watermill going.
The Autumn event is organised as working engines (no showmans or organs etc) and the event earlier in the year more of a fairground feel. Plenty of wood was sawn and 3 loads of wheat thrashed.
