Hello and Happy Easter Monday to you all, wherever you are.
Today, here in England, we have a bank holiday, so lots of people are having an extended weekend, which is always welcome (!) and a chance to do something different, visit somewhere new or kick back and relax. How we like to relax is personal and different for everyone. For example, if the weather is bad, I might curl up on the sofa with a book I can escape into, or I might do some knitting or sewing. My hubby is mad about cars and loves classic car shows and museums, and if we get the chance, we visit. He tells me the history of the cars and car companies, while I drool over my favourite old Jaguars, Healeys and Triumphs... I spent many happy hours as a youth under the bonnet with my dad, learning how cars worked and getting covered in grease. I've always been a bit of a tomboy!
Every Easter Monday, there is a Carnival of Transport at a small market town called Coleford in the Forest of Dean. Hubby and I went along this morning and the weather was fantastic, which was great for the exhibitors and the visitors, as last year it was cold and pouring with rain! The carnival was thrumming with people and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I took some photos and can share some with you here...
