We spent the day there on Monday and had a good time.

It's always fun wondering the stalls, although there do seem less than a few years back.

Huge number of minatures there and it's always great to see a saw bench running from an engine, Volunteer (?). Threshing machines are a testament to ingenuity and great to see that running with a stationery engine.

Having watched the tractors parade into the arena, I joked to my wife that they need to rename it 'Rugwick Tractor & Country Fair'.

Like the photo's, the Burrell, William the Second (?) is a beautiful engine, I was lucky enough to see her in full flight down the A3 at the Sewards run.
