I wandered around the show, which was more extensive than I had imagined, with every marque and era on display. Most had small<br />
group picnics going on near their cars as we did. I went to see old friends in the Stag, Horseless Carriage, and Jaguar car clubs, but they<br />
were all away looking at other cars in the show.<br />
We had 13 Rolls and Bentleys on display. Kevin and Sue Williams brought their Corniche which Kevin had polished and primped until<br />
it looked magnificent—especially the engine bay with replacement chromed dome nuts on everything.<br />
There was motoring interest for any taste, from a ‘Gymkhana’ with a lot of squealing tyres, to the book stall with an impressive range<br />
of motoring memorabilia and workshop manuals. I didn’t get to see everything as the area was so large, but it would be a great day out<br />
for families, especially those with boys in tow.<br />
At lunchtime we gathered in and around the thoughtfully provided gazebo and chattered and shared our lunches and a little wine, coffee<br />
or beer and Mary Craig’s delicious bacon and egg tartlets and a great cake baked by one of the ladies.<br />
We ignored the odd bit of drizzle and were surprised by the large numbers of people who had come to the show.<br />
We all decided it was rather like a picnic day outing we often put on, but with entertainment.<br />
And, no, I didn’t get to read the book I had taken in case of boredom!<br />
