traction engine

There I was quietly beavering away in the garden - planting a cardoon for the hell of it, the instruction say not for the small garden, but there's no fun in that! when there was a toot in the distance. I grabbed the camera and rushed out front to find a traction engine pulling into the carpark of the pub opposite. I shamefully had thoughts of boys toys only to find it being driven by a woman. A few minutes after I went to blip the first, this second and more dramatic one turned up - a fairground machine. It's chimney is lying down on top, presumably because it might go under a low bridge. The woman who drove in the first is sitting on the wall behind, rather blurred, and her machine is in the distance.
