Hi folks , sorry this is a bit late but been hectic just lately, as it is I'm laid up in bed at the moment wishing the GOUT :twisted: would leave me big toe alone 
Was nice to meet up with you all 8)
A real pity the weather hampered me getting all the stuff out properly and caused the display to look so haphazard #-o
Sorry about the choice items some had taken a liking to, not being for sale
By the time we had packed it all away the majority of stuff had dried nicely , that is apart from the puddle on the canopy roof that had me good and proper :roll:
Did anyone get a picture of the set up as I forgot to do so myself #-o :roll: Hailstones down the back of ya neck do distract you somewhat :shock:
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy
It was a true pleasure to meet someone who is so committed to the preservation and collection of old and fascinating tools.
The social history that revolves around each and every one thus being recorded and passed on to our youth.
I can't recall seeing a day of such variation in weather..one minute being burned on the neck and the next concussed by hailstones. I really felt for you mate...so sad to set the stall up and all that this entails only to be awash the next minute with water.
I hope the toe recovers soon and that I will be seeing you again in more clement times with a little more time to chat...fascinating stuff indeed!
Cheers
Jim

And Hi Andy from me - like Jim said - it was a day when there was so much to look at, so many nice people to talk to - I keep thinking of subjects that there was just not time to fit in.
I didn't take any pictures, but Emma might have done.
You must let us know when your portable museum will be appearing again - especially if it's less than 150 miles away!

Sorry Andy - the closest photo Emma got was this one:
One of those weird and wonderful contraptions you had there appears to be a rare, 19th century "Bloke Magnate". As soon as you drew the curtains we were all irresistibly attracted.
