LORRIES WERE NOTHING NEW TO ME

some more lorry shots from the early 80s late 70s as I have no time today for loading shots ex Mandy's camera from weekend!








A busy weekend and feeling a little tight around the belt indicative of fine food and wine which is to be expected at Ian and Miguel's Le Macassar at Corbie near Amiens in Picardy. A super weekend, the trip down was easy Saturday morning, it’s a pain with the 90 minute tunnel service due to the previous fire but we had a potter down the coast and then across country to arrive at tea time when Ian started he usual liberal libations, retox rather than detox he calls it!!
Had a great meal out in the next village with a couple who ran a tyre business in South West London. Sunday, late up then had a wander through Somme valley to Eu then back across country, by the way Ian has now got a 1946 MG, looked very smart, awaiting its French reg number. Then Miguel cooked Sunday night , superb, lamb with beans, sublime and choc tart for pub, bed late, up late Monday thence to Calais. Bargain booze alas is no more in France with their prices shooting up and a rotten exchange rate.
The trip back got us to the terminal in Folkestone at 4pm but bashed through a liquid rush hour and stopped off at Sue's in Cannock for dinner and home by 11pm, hundreds of orders on EBay and Amazon, little in the post.
Very busy tonight, hope to start putting sound on the regional archive, rushing to complete for weekend at Manchester, its now Cheshire andNorth wales, Merseyside will be seperate, there was too much to fit on a DVD.
