| COLEFORD CARNIVAL OF TRANSPORT 2009 |
| Get up at an
unearthly hour in the morning, at a time when I should really be asleep.

Unknown to me at the time was that Padre had already walked his dog, cooked his first bacon sandwich and was on his bike heading for the meeting point, along with Terry, who unable to contain his excitement was nearly there! Dave and Somerset had set up a meet at Severn view services for 8am, bit early for me. I set off at a time that I would never start work at and rode through the early morning fog and cold. I made a token gesture stop at severn view to pick up any waifs and strays that may be there, but there was just me. The sun broke through in places and I knew it would turn out to be a fine day, unlike last year. I arrived at 9am to find the erection complete! |

As ever, the sun was shining.
