Good old Jim, looking forward to meeting up tomorrow, got your "S" model goodie all wrapped up ready for you to fit on your boiler.
We are setting of at 8 am, more than likely see you looking at Burrells.

Sounds good! I will soon be able to fit it (what is it though??)

I think i will be looking at Sentinels and C type fodens before the burrells!
Called in at barleylands tonight and there are 1 or 2 surprises including Aveling Roller "Green Arrow "looking very smart (think I would of roaded here there though). Another superb engine was Alan Whites lovely old Burrell "Spanker" and the Garwood familys lovely old Aveling "The old girl" looking very well cared for and driven to the show by road from Thurlow Suffolk. Well done Matt!

I wonder what surprises await at old warden??

We returned late last night from a fantastic day out at Old Warden. No need to tell everyone what they already know about what was there, but the efforts of all involved, the huge range and quality of exhibits and the relaxed but efficient organisation are all to be applauded. Well Done and hope today goes as well.

Got home at 10.30 last night, 30 min delay at Stamford due to the roadworks. Another superb event. Looking forward to next year already!

Congrats to all of the team involved, keep up the good work, hope you get the field sorted.

My first time at Old Warden yesterday and I had a great time , I guess 70% of the steam exhibits were new to me so my camera got a good run out .
So much to see I didn't stop all day , my feet have just recovered having driven 300+ miles and then ambled for hours .
The show made up for the fact that the last two weekends were ruined due to the weather and I hope to be going back next year.
I think the event ring could have been twice the size given the amount of people around the perimeter , it was difficult getting the photography right .
Superb surroundings I only wish I could have made time to see the house and the Shuttleworth Collection , maybe next time.
Many highlights but seeing Old Tim , President and Gigantic was a mega thrill.
