We arrived at the show around 10 am, which is when it officially starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This beautiful bus has a blue version of a livery, upholstery wise, that I recognise from a similar vehicle in The Titfield Thunderbolt.<\/em> The one in the film was, I think, in green. Chatting with the driver of this magnificent machine, I learned that Dews do have one in green, as well. Must find and photograph that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were hordes of folk of all ages dressed up in period costume. Looking natty, dapper, sharp\u2026 you name it. The above selection is only a teeny-weeny sampling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a great Hawaiian shirt, which drew many approving comments throughout the remainder of the day, and a whole outfit – trousers, weskit, tie and jacket, all in green – for\u2026 \u00a330!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERLUDE – St. John The Baptist, Wakerley <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon we had to leave, so I could do a delivery shift. Turned out the route was in a lovely scenic part of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John in Wakerley was worth a look. It\u2019s a CCT Church. So presumably no longer active as a place of worship, but undergoing careful restoration? It was open, fortunately. It\u2019s in a gorgeous setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the 40s\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the delivery shift, we went back to Ramsey. Turned out that we needed to buy more tickets for the evening show. When offered them at a 33% discount, we thought, why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t dance. Very few folk did. Which is a shame, really. I think, perhaps like us, many refrained from lack of era-specific dance move skills. But we still had a lot of fun. We wound up having a pepperoni pizza cooked on site, instead of the korma curry Teresa had planned back home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I broke my new\/latest return to tee-totalism rule. Which, whilst not disastrous, on this occasion, I must admit does deeply disappoint me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But overall a lovely day. And a kind of tonic to the official 8th anniversary we spent with dad and co on the river, a few weeks back. That wasn\u2019t entirely enjoyable or relaxing. Whereas this was<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
