Middlewick House (Sunday 9th June 2024)

For two days each year Nick Mason, erstwhile drummer of the Pink Floyd, opens up his home and grounds to raise money for charity (Wiltshire Bobby Vans). A massive field hosts literally hundreds of classic cars and in the house frontage and gardens are dozens of stalls and music performances, Noddy cars and sculptures. An outdoor animal section included ponies, donkeys and pigs and Nick Mason himself was on hand for a book signing event. There were a throng of visitors and dogs on leads, too many of both, so I beat a retreat after an hour or so.
Nick Mason bought the property from the Parker-Bowles family (one of them now our queen) and it lies in the Pickwick area of Corsham (as in The Pickwick Papers).
The ten mile trip there took over 100 minutes because of traffic jams, which turned out to have been caused by the event itself. Luckily the return trip had no such delays.
My blip shows an artwork on the boot of a Porsche. Each model is depicting a Pink Floyd album cover. The front of the car is in Extras, along with a visitor's tee-shirt.
