All the fun of the fair!

We went to Rudgewick steam rally and country fair today.  It was great!  It was much bigger than we had expected, with a couple of huge fields.  There were loads of people there.

 

There were plenty of steam engines big and small:

Some of the tractors were ploughing and tilling the soil:

And some of the steam engines were running farm machines such as this baler.
