Making the most of the Bank Holiday weather

With rain forecast for Monday, we thought we'd make the most of the sunny start to Sunday. Up and out before 8am we we're heading for a new meet to us at the White Lion Antiques centre on the A30. Pulling into the carpark our friend Steve was already there in his 911 as it was Porsche day, he was also able to capture the marshals opening the height barrier as we struggled to get under it!





We parked up in a corner and had a quick look round the scattering of cars before grabbing a bacon bap and cuppa. There weren't that many vehicles and it looked as though we might head off else where.





After a snack and wander round the antiques rooms we were stunned to see over a hundred cars outside on our return. Mainly classic British tin, with a few interesting cars in between.









A line of hotrods rolled in as we walked about, this was the most unusual of the bunch, a Ford Pop with Maserati Bi-Turbo power.







Back in the Camper for a drink stop we watched more and more cool cars cruise in, the good weather bringing out some new cars to us.











Our final walk round saw us follow a nylon slacked gentleman taking video of everything. I need to be careful how I dress in 20 years time!







With rumbling tummies we decided to head off elsewhere, Steve tagged along and we headed a few miles up the A30 to Blackbushe Cafe, adjacent to the runway at the airport. Planes and sandwiches, a winning combo.











With the sun unexpectedly still shining we decided to part from Steve and head for Sonning and the Scarecrow Trail. Set in the lanes of the tiny village, 60 houses joined in the fun with a variety of scenes played out on lawns and driveways.















With the majority of the scarecrows spotted we headed back to the Camper and finally home. A long and fun filled day ended with a cold pint in the back of the van on the drive, while Lily amused herself in the drivers seat. And the sun is still shining now!

Steve.
