Gifts for all occasions at
Organised by the Moseley clan at Holt Farm,
Napton on the Hill, and well attended by people from all over the country.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend of good weather, pleasant surroundings
and rather too much too eat and drink. Pretty typical CAMrPA tour really,
apart from the good weather! Having thought we would have to miss the
trip due to Dave being in hospital a few days earlier, it was great to
be able to attend. Hospital the week after was rather less fun, although
there are bits of Hull were people would pay a fortune for drugs as good
as the stuff you get for free on the NHS!

Not something you see everyday, a giant Pot Noodle heading South on the M1, where's Alex when he's really needed? | ) |

Not sure just how many people actually booked in with the horse, but we thought it was amusing | ) |

It's a 'Saladin' Armoured Car, part of Holt Farm's small collection of old vehicles | ) |
What a surprise, lunch in a pub. The Old Mint at Southam |
| Now there's a happy looking chappy, could it be something to do with all of those empty glasses? | ) |
After lunch, the world's problems are quickly resolved with a short chat back at the campsite | ) |

Then it's off to the pub again, purely to help the evening meal digest, of course. In the garden of the Bridge Inn, Napton on the Hill | ) |
Someone else is obviously enjoying his beer |

In the beer garden of the Bridge Inn, still! | ) |

Why is it that we don't have ANY pictures of Andy being completely sensible | ) |
Spectacular sunset, seen from a table in the Bridge Inn garden |
| The next day, a quick walk along the canal at nearby Stockton Locks was sufficient excuse to be able to go to the pub for lunch | ) |
Dave & Anna having a quick rest on the way back to the pub | ) |

Dave & Karen also having a quick rest. It's a tiring business going for a walk on an empty stomach | ) |
