Today, 1 year ago, was the day we drove home - still in sunshine which had been continuous for the whole week.
We had gone over on the Tuesday, in very high temperatures - after waiting all day for it to cool down, finally set off after 5 p.m., then discovered that the modern had something called Air Conditioning as standard, so we put that on, kept the sunroof closed and drove over to experience what can justly claim to have been the Best Party Ever!
As we approached Moreton-in-Marsh the traffic became perceptibly Austin 7 orientated. When we turned in to the Fire HQ we could not believe it - they were everywhere. We started to smile, and we continued smiling all week long. So many new friends were made, so many old acquaintances recognised, so much just fun to be had.......
We just thought our appreciation and indeed admiration for everyone involved in the perfect organisation deserved to be said publicly - it is so easy just to enjoy some event, go away afterwards and never say Thank You. Which we do now as loudly as possible.
On behalf of everyone who was there, Organisers - please accept our grateful "Thanks".
As ever,
