I on the other hand want meat vans; lots of Airfix meat vans. Only for the Tyneside Guinness traffic you understand. But I will have a bacon & egg sarnie (broken yoke) whilst watching Dunnies picture show. Now here's a thought... What did the load say to its lowmac... wait for it... ... said in a dalekie sort of accent, "Excavate... Excavate..."

Axlebox Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 …as usual I built nothing and talked the hind legs off a donkey. Great to be part of this annual tradition, thank you to everyone who came, thank you to all the demonstrators, exhibitors and traders…but the biggest thanks goes to the kitchen crew. (Mr G of North Yorks says the new team in the kitchen were every bit as good as the old team , praise indeed.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't resist the "just out of the oven" spiced plum duff, with five star custard. Dunno if anybody has mentioned it but the modelling on display was top drawer too. All of this & less than 65 yards from the Great North Road and a still open pub next door. What's not to like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, after about one o clock, the sun shone on the righteous and still continues to do so.
