The pleasant lunchtime visit to Warrington yielded an encounter with someone who was about to purchase a Warrington Dart and also a customer who drives for the council who will hopefully have received a copy of his photo by now. Our friend John in Guangzhou has received his package of DVDs and photo CDs from our China trip and is going to promote PMP in China. The hot weather has struggled on another day , very enjoyable although not good for DVD orders, I did put an Ebay sale in place which has prompted some extra business. Editing has now gone on to the Shetlands, that will be followed by Cheshire and then I hope to copy the London archive cine film from Online archive. I also have some recent Spanish material by our friend John Bishop whose latest book on Southdown seems to have been well reviewed.

I'm waiting for a telephone consultation with my doctor on the results of my MRI scan the other week, generally things are at a low ebb although my knee with hell in Shetlands with the walking and damp atmosphere. We are getting all our truck stock ready for Gaydon weekend after next, a two day event and the ' Showbus' of the preserved lorry and commercial world. Our second attempt at a truck do to build on the initial Donington Park success. Also with trucks in mind I'm planning a couple of days tagged onto Mandy's next trip to Hil and Sean in Ireland, the demand for Irish truck material has been tremendous.
