Our Family Spent the Last Bank Holiday before Christmas at a very special event. The County of Salop Annual Steam Rally, To give it its proper title. People come from all over Europe to be at this event not just to Exhibit but to soak up the atmosphere that this event produces. This year there were lots of Exhibitors from the Wirral to Daddy's Delight and it was also attended by the son of the late Fred Dibnah.
Kellyn was so excited as we walked through the entrance gates as we were greeted by the sounds of the little stationary engines, well some not so little. These are Kellyns favorite exhibits and have been for some time now. We spent some time wandering around looking at the engines and answering all Kellyns Questions the best we could. 
After looking at the Cars, Steam engines and Vintage bikes, We settled down to watch the parade around the ring of the working Horses. Ceienna's Favourite, she was very excited as the large shires went past her.
After the auto jumble we walked to the working field, Here steam engines, Vintage tractors and Horses were all working hard demonstrating working life in times gone bye.
Also in the working fields there was vintage tractor pulling and a static display of British Tractor Pulling by the new Pro- Stock Champion, The Bear Pulling team. Memories came flooding back to me. We watched a steam engine from 1875 complete a " Full Pull" in the Tractor Pulling before we sampled some wonderfull freshly squeezed apple juice, It really tasted fantastic far better than anything you can purchase in the Supermarket.
We left the working field via aTractor Ride Kellyn thought this was great and gave a running commentary to the people riding in the trailer with us. We arrived next to the main arena just in time the see the Grand Old Lady Parade, This has been something very close to my heart for many years. This year was no disappointment.
To complete our day we headed to the Vintage steam fair, Kellyn went on the Big Wheel with Daddy and Ceienna went on the carousel.
We all had a absolutely fabulous day out and really can not wait until next years event.
