Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

A "Mint" 1969 Transit pickup.

Good quality harness.

Good old fashioned cast iron "Handle over" cooking pots and pans. These are becoming almost impossible to find.

Also note the chitty irons and kettle props.

Is that Willy Hotpot in the background?

I'll hold off on ranking those Horses until you have Posted them all.

But I do like the first one a lot. Nice short back ("a hands width"), deep girth, stocky, good colouring, lovely tail. beautiful feathering, good mane, great muscle definition,  like the head carraige, stands well. Will they take £25?

Aluminium milk churns (Used by Gypsies for carrying water. These have obviously just been discovered laying disused on a farm somewhere. The new owner will polish then to a high gloss.

I have no use for my churns now, but I can't bring myself to part with them.

This was the most popular stall of the day. They took a fortune.

That's the lot.

There was loads more stuff that I didn't manage to photograph (Photos don't do justice anyway)

Great fair.

Great pics Tom, you were lucky with the weather too.

Okay here are my horsey pics, my reputation is on the line here.

In third position is the black and white yearling (I think) 2nd from the left in picture 17. Although I can't really see much of it's head, I do like it's clearly defined markings, very nice feathering and long full tail.

In second position is the young foal in picture 4, it's a bit of a hunch but I just feel that it has beautiful conformation including the very short back and nicely shaped head, and could develop into something really special.

In first position, I'm still sticking with my original pick, the horse in picture 3 which is surely too well developed to be a yearling. He looks hugely powerful in it's neck and quarters, with thick mane and tail and again lovely feathering. I've a feeling that he may be a champion.

Do your worst....

The horse in the pic 17 2nd from the left is a two year old (Tail too long for a yearling) She is called the "Musketeer Filly" Can you see why?

It must be what looks like a man's (musketeer's) face on her side, with lips and a beard too, which I hadn't noticed before

Correct.

You know what I do like about America? Every camp site and picnic area (and there are thousands) has somewere that you can light a fire to cook your food on, go to sleep by, or just sit around telling lies.

Light a fire in this country and they will clap you in irons.

Make a firebox Red, the wood burns more efficiently & if you stand it on a couple of logs/bricks, when you leave there will be no marks on the ground.

The bigger one on this site is the kind of thing I'm talking about. http://www.canoepaddler.me.uk/fireboxes.htm

There's plans for a small one on this site http://www.nimblewillnomad.com/stove.htm
