Nutley Windmill Vintage Machinery Day

[pmackellow 2,738]

A nice local (about 5 miles from home) gathering today at Nutley Windmill on the Ashdown Forest, we took the Cub Cadet 100 for its first outing of the year, Mr Showman brought along his Wheelhorse Roundhoods and Steve Durrant gave a first outing to his recently acquired 1922 Amanco Stationary engine that had been in the same family from new until May of this year.

 

A chilled out day with some changeable weather, here's some photos...

And two photos to show that to uphold a proud Southern tradition much tea and cake was consumed, and Mr Showman had a really exciting day !!

Good lot of photos except for the last one, you didn't say how many teas and slices of cake we had, and that i was just resting my eyes.

I lost count and you were asleep... briefly !!

Looks a good day for a show. I like the Allen of Oxford roller.  Be great for rolling the green and verges.

 

How many teas and cake you had, depends on how many hours you were there. And the way Steve is looking away from Chris, is a "He's not with me" look.

Looks like it was a good day Paul, but I think you are mistaken saying Chris was asleep.  It is obvious that he was just checking his eyelids for light leaks.
