Dose of Vintage

A few months back we went to one of the many Crotch Cooler meets that are held across the South. It was at the Departure Lounge in Alton. Advertised there was a vintage and retro fair with a classic car meet attached and all on Kims birthday. So after breakfast and present unwrapping, and with Kim and Lily dressed for the day we headed over in the Camper. We decided against pre-booking as they wanted everyone parked up before 9am and no moving until later afternoon, so I was a bit surprised to be waved into the show at 11am.



Parked with some hotrods and Americana we headed up the hill. The cars were interspersed with the stalls so there was something to see all round.











Lily was in her element pushing her retro buggy around (for a bit, until she got tired and everyone including Granny had a go pushing)









This old Bedford camper was period perfect. So many cool touches.















We stopped for ice creams from a dinky caravan before a tired Lily meant an early lunch.





We listened the bands for a bit before a final wander round and the trip home.









They could have done with a few more stalls perhaps and the cars staying around longer, but for a free show we really can't grumble.
