Grandad's photos

Here are some hi-res 1280 pixel pictures from our trip that are suitable to place on your desktop. Click on the picture to view full size, right mouse 'Set As Desktop Background'. They are about 600-700Kb each so will take a little while using dial-up.

Without a car this year I had to resort to being a photographer. David took some pictures as well.



This Buckler was very similar to my Orchid Special, and going well.

Steve Sharp in his Buckler and Roger Herrick in the A40 Special.



Ron Roycroft's Bugatti is back on the road.






And a few of the others running today.

Martin Greentree died this week aged 51, the service was held in his LDS Church, Pah Rd, Royal Oak. He left Mala and 4 children, all grown up. The school that he taught at gave him a guard of honour. Martin was a very nice person with a keen interest in genealogy.

Here's a video of a windmill at Kinderdyke, working away pumping water.

Here's a wee recording taken at Edinburgh airport, whilst awaiting our flight. His Scottish was very easy to understand!

There were not many chances to take bird photos, but here are the notable ones:



The robin at Loch Lomond.



The heron at Enkhuizen.



Birds at Portballintrae.



The geese that bit me at Kinderdyke.



Seagulls at Brixham & Dartmouth.



Well, not really a bird, but it does fly.



These starlings in Amsterdam were behaving like pigeons.
