Quick trip to Thatcham

Its the season of childrens birthday parties at the moment. Lily has three to go to this weekend which meant only a short trip to Thatcham for the Classic & Sportscar show was possible. The camper was fired up for the first time in weeks and we plodded along the A4. The field was already half full so we got a space and went for a wander.

Show organiser Martin is a keen Land Rover man and several were parked up with his along with an old favourite, a classic QTR truck.

Classic bikes were also out and the owner of this 1954 BSA Bantam let Lily try it for size.

From the bikes we started a long walk back through the show to the playground.

 Cars of the show for me were the pair of Lancias that arrived just after us. A Flavia and Flaminia.

A group of Lotus arrived together and showed a wide range of the latest cars from Hethel.

With time running out we had a last look around and Lily practised numbers and letters by reading numberplates.

With it being five years since her first visit, we took another photo of her in front of the camper, this time she didn't need carrying!
