What a brilliant day and just perfect for the short ride to the Chiltern Open Air museum.
Laurie, Steve, Bill and Ray were already there enjoying the first drink of the day. Complementary drinks were supplied by the museum as always making us very welcome.
There were many interesting and unusual cars and vehicles including the classics on show.
Going around visiting all the exhibits l met a very interesting man who for his hobby made and designed mini caravans over many years. He had designed three different models and one of which was on display. It even had its own flushing loo, this design was clearly well before its time.
His caravans would have being on many of the old TV programs such as tiny homes. His caravan would have complemented well. Arriving back to the bikes we saw Ian Bullion and George soon turned up after a few more minutes. Peter arrived who had just joined our club a few days ago but he had payed £10 entrance fee and parked his bike in the field!
Brian told him to get his bike over and display it at our club, tell them he was with the Busy Bee Club, which he did.
As a result he was given his £10 back and two commentary tickets for the drinks, well worth his £10 joining fee. Welcome to the gang Peter.
Brian and l have been most years so being so hot we had a quick look around the museum bought some second hand books and a lovely homemade banana and walnut cake which we shared with the gang after our lunch.
The cake was so nice and so I decided to go back to buy another one but they had sold out.
Went over to the prefab house to look at the allotments which was new to the museum. l have never seen such a huge pumpkin growing very impressive.
On the way back to the bikes we bumped into some of our friends from walking club. Enjoyed a quick chat with them which is when we also saw Harry from the Busy Bee who had travelled by his classic car.
What we like most about this show is you tend to meet some very interesting people who have so much history and stories to share about their vehicles and classics cars.
Also at the museum there is always so many new and interesting things to do and see, it was a very pleasant lazy day out with great company.
