Ok, hands up who's been to a steam fair/spectacular/show this bank holiday weekend!
Aye, me as well. I have taken mountains of photographs of shiny engines, restored to perfection, but thought i would share with you this tatty old thing on the back of a low-loader, showing the 'calm before the storm': refurb is due to start very soon.
It's known as Pudsey Park Roller - it was in a local park close to us for many years (I just about remember playing on it), when the council removed it and shoved it in their yard due to 'health and safety risks'.
I would love to get my hands on something like that!
