Showerbus. just finshed ringing myself out.

Today I went to Showbus held at Duxford, The day started off bad when I realised I had double booked the day, and crossed wires with Philippa,(sorry I will make it up to you), then I got a phone call from my friend Simon at a rather early hour saying he couldnt come as he was unwell(get well soon), so I set off to the depot to get the coach.



We got the coaches ready, and set off for Duxford, the weather at this point was pretty good and we made good progress, after a stop when got to The rally site. The weather at this point was dull, and had a chilly edge to it.. About half an hour was spent preparing the coaches ready for judging. This inolved polishing and fettling, but was worth it in the end more of which anon.



Then Calum was let loose with the camera, So I managed to clear one of the fields, and I was halfway eround the second bit, and after a quick chat with various people, I was getting more pictures then the heavens opened. It started off as drizzle, and worked in to that horrible rain that is light but satuates everything in its path.



I carried on for a bit before diving in the EFE tent for a look at new releases, but the tent was full and I got to see f*** all, due the number of people in the tent, so I carried on with the recording.



To cut along story short I got a majority of the exhibits, I left the Routemasters til last, as I felt I had already covered these at other events, plus working with the things for nearly 2 years they seem samey.



I met up with Stoney, and we preceeded to take more pictures then the rain became too much, so a sheltered place was found to lurk in.



We were joined by Matt Barker from Derby and Lynn Pestall and a court was in session, generally making light hearted observations and comparing CAMRA recomended pints of refreshing drinks. As time was ticking away by this point we thought it was best to return to our respective vehicles and dry out, I was taking on the drowned rat look by this stage.



So apart from getting wet, I enjoyed the day, but I do need to invest in some lemsip very soon. probably going to jump in the shower to warm my feet up. I will put the pictures on my fotopic site once sorted. At the mo, the priority is to get warm. anyway bye for now
