Not sure what we're doing yet.  :) Several shows to choose from as normal. Could be down to flipping a coin again.

I did it last year & thoroughly enjoyed it. Interesting venue, with hangars full of exhibits from the Science Museum to look around, (Wroughton's home to the overspill from the London museum), as well as the classic meet & autojumble, great views of the surrounding countryside etc.

Taz & I were here for the afternoon. We were in two minds about going as I'd spent the morning trudging the streets delivering the mail in the pouring rain. In the end we just took a chance that it'd clear up by the time we'd driven to Wiltshire. Luckily it did & we were treated to an afternoon of glorious sunshine.
Full photo gallery soon.

We were admiring this Pop, comparing it to my roof-chopped, channelled, pick up, when we spotted the sign in the window.
We sidled quietly away before the owner could start chatting to us.
