lympics wot lympics?

Waterford last Friday


and down on the coast, a bit of a surprise




Well safely back and just one day left to entertain my nephew and niece and cousin after our long weekend on Ireland. I hope to catch up over Tuesday and Wednesday nights ready to load the car up Thursday evening for our departure Friday for the annual 2 day open weekend at the Scottish National Bus Museum at Lathalmond in Fife, well worth the trip if you haven't been there already. I hope the weather gets a bit better, its been a dismal summer so far hasn't it.

My autobiography looks as if its getting back on track with collection from the printers down in Trowbridge on the Saturday , just a day before the launch at the FOT at Hellingly in East Sussex, ( near Hailsham).

Well what did we get up to in Ireland, a fairly good flight with Ryanair yet again, 20 minutes early which can't be bad, Mandy and Hil picked me up at Cork, the weather had been awful but faired up the next day when we went down to Waterford covering trucks and a few buses thence down to the seaside where some brave souls were actually in the grey water. An American circus was in town with suitable trucks to match which I'm featuring during the week.
On Saturday it was wet so we visited Cahir castle which is near our house , we also had lunch and walked to Swiss cottage. In the afternoon we went to Michelstown caves where a harridan of a woman dispenses tickets as well as black looks and a sharp tongue from the house, health and safety is rudimentary and it’s a look back to caves opened up 50 years ago in Britain or France, mind you until 1971 it was still by torchlight.

The trip back was on quiet roads to Dublin, we called in to give the gang a whirlwind tour of the essential sights like GPO etc then via the toll bridge down to Dun Laoghaire and an on time sailing with Stena back over to Holyhead and home before 10pm, tired but happy.
The Waterford footage will enable the Irish truck DVD to be finished, I hope to knock out a couple more before next round of adverts.
