IWA National Festival, Beale Park River Thames. It's one of those Lavender Boats again. Social Distancing, even though it hadn't been invented then.

This day in 2004 and 2010. In 04 we were on the Ardennes canal in a chain of 26 locks all automatic so the next one is always ready. In 10 we were climbing up to the summit of the Burgundy canal which is 55 locks all manual so we did this in 2 days. The traveling lock keepers can be keen or fed up and the nonsense of having to empty the locks behind you before going on to set the next one takes time. The dog needed to have a walk so herself obliged.

On this day 2015 we had the Sierra out. (Not waterways related in the slightest :D)

We had it out of the garage for a wash on Monday night. Think it is time it was put back on the road again. Just need to get an MOT on it and a fresh oil change and it should be good to go again. Liam needs to take it to work to get a few stone chips sorted out but it ain't in bad nick for a 35 year old banger.

Ilkeston IWA Festival of Water.

 

L2676_20170826_0002s.jpg.4215a8cf31589f44a7b6b2b5640589a1.jpgAn Earlier Ford.   100E Anglia.  YRA481

The card in the window gave this one's history,  "Ford Anglia, 100E, 2 Door Saloon, purchased on the 19th July 1955 from the Premier Garage, Market Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire. The car is completely original with 10 HP side valve engine and 3 speed gearbox and no modifications"

 

These were branded as Anglias until 1959 when the new (backwards backwindow) shape 105E took over the name.

 

Many entertaining hours holding spanners for my father's tinkering under the bonnet of (a black) one-of-these 312BHK. Nostalgia ...
