Better late than never! The 2012 Birdingbury Country Show

Because of this years rather damp summer many Steam Festivals had to be cancelled because of waterlogged ground. And the annual Birdingbury Country Festival was no exception, Postponed from July it eventually took place on the weekend of 29th and 30 September.  Many large factories in and around the Midlands usually had their own ' on site '  fire brigade  and the converted Land Rover above is a typical example.  In fact I remember a small collection of vehicles just like the one above when I used to work at the Jaguar Browns Lane Plant.

Although latter in the year it was still a great day out....and I even thought September a nicer light for taking photographs, even with my humble Camera.

And I loved this Military Vehicle! A massive big purpose full contraption  with a simple cab siting on  top parked nonchalantly in the corner of the field. And is it winking at me?
