Dorset Steam Fair

If there was one thing we did not expect when we changed our holiday plans from Scotland to Dorset  was that there were so many events on just a few miles from where we were camping and the Dorset Steam Fair was one of them.

We saw the signs while driving around and decided to give it a go. Little did we know that it was a huge (advertised as the largest in the country) as it was. We spent the entire day walking looking at vintage steam machines, the craft tents, the large trade stalls along with the fairground.

There were large displays of working machines that really was impressive. I do think though that you need to spend a couple days there to really appreciate it all and to save your legs especially Aunty Ann's. She must have really suffered after all that walking but you'd never know it because just at the end of the day when we were all dragging our feet, she finally saw a chance to get a picture taken with a true British Bobby and she ran after him!!

Jess took a couple days off work to join us so she arrived this evening along with Belle. A great evening sitting by the campfire rounded out a very good day!
