Ah,
what a nice way to start a lazy Sunday than a sleep in followed by breakfast
cooked by The Man. Couldn’t ask for better.
We
let the morning slip by accompanied by coffee and catching up with some
reading. Very nice thank you. The decision not to go away this weekend was a
good one.
After
a snack lunch we grabbed our jackets and wandered down the road to crystal
Palace Park where a motorsport event as taking place.
We handed
over our entry fee, and with an ID band strapped to our wrist we were free to
wander among the beautifully polished and presented cars.
It didn’t
take us long to find a spot to watch the time trials and get the camera
clicking. It took me a while t get my eye in and actually capture the car within
in the lens, but soon I was happily snapping away.
Digital cameras are great aren’t they? I can take as many shots as I like knowing that
in amongst the rubbish there will the
odd good shot.
There
were folks selling all sorts of goodies and tempting thing’s for the kids. I
bought a DVD about the History of Crystal Palace and the fire that destroyed
it. For a while we watched the kids enjoying their ride in the barrel train,
pulled by a chap who looked like he was enjoying himself driving the quad-bike
that pulled it.
Ice
cream in hand we watched more of the time trials before having a good look and
ogle at the lovely shiny cars.
We
spotted one that looked like a very well preserved Bentley, but it turned out
to be something quite different. It was in fact a a custom built vehicle that
had been built in about 1994. The design of the open topped car was based on a
1930’s concept but not on any particular car. The couple who owned it said that
it was very popular as a wedding car and I can see why.
