Two great days but as predicted today (Monday) is wet so I will not be going, since I want to keep the bare plywood dry!
I had a good look, but I did not see the Champ's Javelin although it was listed in the programme. No other Jowetts either.
Several of the visitors I spoke to mentioned Bradfords in their family (a few Javelins as well, but more Bradfords). I don't know why, or even if, this reflects the general increase in interest in Btadfords that has emerged on Jowett.net lately, but either way it can only be good news.
THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
At one time there was a 'Dad' with two boys about 10ish, talking to me. They asked loads of meaningful questions up to the time I was due to take part in a parade.
Needing to start the car, I invited them to have a swing (Well it saved my battery didn't it?). They both had a go, the car starting on cue each time.
They were chuffed to bits but Dad was a bit wary, 'That might cost me a fortune, they will both want one now!'.
