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!

Throwback Thursday!

This week isn't a proper throwback as I want to pay Tribute to a very Special Lady who is no longer with us in person but is always with us in spirit!
 
This tribute is to My Grandma, who is missed every day! Today would have been her birthday! So to celebrate her birthday and her life I have chosen a few pictures of my wonderful and spectacular Grandma to share with you all!
