Us slower vehicles are planning on leaving from around 8.30 with the aim for us all getting to Gestingthorpe for about 11.00. Then the odd stop for lunch etc and back to Long Melford for around 4.00. Should be a good day out. Hope to see some of you there. Come and say hello.

AAAAGH.....Bugger! Would you Adam & Eve it, Self, 'er indoors and the two lurchers were only down that way last week! We were staying with the wifes Auntie who lives in the next village to Gestingthorpe, Little Yeldham! I wouldnt mind but we were all over Sudbury a week ago and when we visited the Museum of East Anglian Life at Stowmarket and got talking engines we were invited to their steam do this coming weekend as well! To think if I stayed another week we could have had engines passing the front door almost!! You lucky people, its a beautiful part of the world. I didnt realise that there were so many TT'ers and steamers so close by to a relative, will have to try and catch you all and this again next year. I lost count of the number of times we drove through Gestingthorpe, past the church and the hall last week, Im afraid I have never heard of the Ashton Cooper museum, what is it, pardon my 'hignorance'!

Unfortunately, I am merely a flat capped lurcher owning Northener, sans Ferrets he adds hastily! At least we have got a fine weekend for the local rally this weekend.........hey ho!!
