The first time we stayed at Westbury was that it was convenient to Carrick and the Vintage Rally that Rob was keen to go to there.
Rob was invited to attend the Historical Vintage Machinery Annual Rally to be held at Carrick. Rob took off for a day 'with the boys'.
Of course woman are welcomed but I am one of those women that just do not understand one end of a engine from another. What we saw at the 'back' of the Penny Farthing Festival was lovely and as much of the vintage engine display as I could possibly be interested in. So I had a day to pamper myself and Rob took himself off to enjoy himself with like minded guys.
There's not much information I can give you since I didn't go (nor would I understand if I did, but hopefully you will enjoy the photos.
Rob saw the first design of and hammer drill. Ha ha ha
They even made sure to consider the ladies with this cute pink machine.
It is very similar to the Steam Fest that was going to be held a week later.

I recall attending many of types of antique farming machines with my father. He also related a few stories of tragedies when safety wasn't applied.

It's about time.
Sadly accidents occurred then just as they do today. Just about a fortnight ago I recall an accident where the husband was found dead under his tractor when it rolled on an slope.
DeleteI just shared the picture of the hammer drill with the males in the room and they are still chuckling.

DeleteFive weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
