Got back to North Yorkshire last night after a great Guildtown weekend followed by two days in Grantown on Spey and a day at North Berwick.
Guildtown must be the friendliest and most relaxed event of the year, many thanks to all those who made it possible. Despite torrential rain on the way up, the weather was super and in Grantown it was over hot!
My Gordon England Brooklands made it to the show, thanks to the kind efforts of Mike Costigan and Tony Griffiths, to whom I am most grateful. It looked a bit like a Dinky toy amongst the other GE cars present in its rhubarb and custard livery!
The ceilidh was great fun, I even took to the floor towards the end, when the wine had taken over. Duncan Grimmond impressed on the dance floor, his clog dancing talents coming in very useful.
Our Border Collies Mollie and Gus found the Sunday BBQ the highlight of the weekend. They would like to thank Graham Smith and Nick Turley in particular for the cooked sausages which supplemented their normal diet throughout the holiday. Gus also liked the Jazz Band who were superb. He generally growls at buskers.
I would have liked to have done the extra days touring the Highlands in an Austin 7 which looked great fun.
Looking forward to Guildtown 2020.
