Masham Steam Rally!

Hi all! I am taking you back to my day out in North Yorkshire! Me, My parents, my Auntie and Uncle took a day trip to Masham, where they held a massive stream rally!
 
Since I was a little girl I have always loved motors, traction engines and bikes! This steam rally had it all so, me my Dad and Uncle were in our element! I have always been a bit of a tomboy, so this day out was perfect!
 
(This will be mostly photo based and I will try to explain where I can!)

I have chosen my favourite pictures as I had about 80+ to choose from haha!
 
 

Fairground Organ.

Next up is an old fire engine, below that image of the engine is a photo with information about it!



This next photo I took because I thought it was quirky. The Michelin man was situated on the top of a vintage wagon.


After having made our way around some of the older and vintage Wagons and Fire Engines, we then proceeded to watch the Traction Engines in the main arena!






I chose to photograph this one because it was from Hexham, which is in Northumberland, which is where the county I live in!




I also chose to take a photo of this engine, because of its name, which I have also taken a zoomed in image. Its name is the same as my Auntie Eileen who I was there with!!




Now this next engine was huge, the back wheel on it had to be roughly 7ft, to show you just the size of it got my Mum to take a photo of me standing next to the back wheel!


Me with this massive Wheel!!!
 




Another Fairground Organ.

After having had a look at the Traction Engines, my Mum spotted an old carousel, which then spurred us to go have a shot on it haha! Children at heart really! 


The next photo I took is a bit odd, as it is an ice cream van! Just very strange looking haha!


After having got our ice creams, we watched vintage tractors coming into the Arena!


Once, the main display of tractors was over, we went onto the next field for a wonder around the vintage cars and bikes!

Beetle!

I Love Beetles!!

Anyway, haha, while looking around the bikes, I found something that caught my interest straight away!

A Weslake Speedway Bike!! It had to be one of the best finds of my day! Never have I seen an older speedway bike, so I was in my element! 



After getting over seeing the speedway bike, I had a wonder around the other vintage bikes that were on display.







I had a look in the Mecano tent and found a remote control Caterpillar!!!


Last but not least from the rally, was an old milking machine, for milking the cows, which had me fascinated!




On our way home from a fabulous day, we stopped in Richmond for a late Picnic! And we had to get a selfie haha!
 

Mum, Auntie Eileen, Me, Uncle Ian & Dad!


Thanks for Reading!

Lanzarote: My Paradise Island.

 
Hi All! So here we are back in Lanzarote!!
 
So, this is me showing you the rest of my trip to this gorgeous island!
 
 
 
 
Red Flowers that look lie the Red weed for War of the Worlds!


We had a few walks along to Playa Blanca from our hotel and there were a few things I found interesting!
 

The Watch Tower.

The Watch Tower was in place so that the guard could warn islanders if there were any pirates about to attack the island! 

Rublicon
 

Stone statues, actually made by placing rocks on top of each other!

 

Ferry Port in the Distance!

 
As I told you in my first Lanzarote post we went on a volcanic trip, but we were also taken for a camel ride and to a vineyard!!
 

Me and Mum on Our Camel!

We named him Geoffrey Leonard!! 

Dad and Mum at the Vineyard.

Dad and Me at the Vineyard.


We were told about how they grow the grapes on the island for making the wine. They build a horseshoe shaped wall around the vines to protect them from the northern winds.

Rubicon Marina

One day, we decided to get the ferry from Playa Blanca over to Fuerteventura! To the Town of Corralejo.

Submarine!!


Fuerteventura in the Distance!





 
 
While we were there only for a couple of hours, we visited the Market before we had to get the ferry back again!
 


Me and Dad on the Catamaran.

Small island in between the 2 larger islands.

Our Ferry.


 
Our last trip was to Teguise Market, which is more in land so is slightly warmer!!
 







The Church in Teguise.



Statue in the Square.

Town centre if you like.


Now, the next photo really had me and my dad chuckling. It's not something you see everyday!!

A Goat sat up the wall!!!


Last, but not least, managing to finally get a photo of the Salt Mines on the Island, while on our way to the airport!!
