Random Drive, Gypsy Fairs and National Parks

Went for a semi-random drive today, there was a Gypsy fair on in one of the outlying towns, so went there.. Oh so lame… it’s on again in a few weeks in another city, will go to that one, hopfully it will be better…

here are a few pictures from the fair…

After that, I stopped at our old Earth Station Satellite Base. It’s hardly used anymore, which is a shame, and back in the day, there used to be a little show and stuff that you could go watch,.. a family sort of thing… shame how things have changed 😦

Hope you enjoyed this lot.

Next week or two will be a bit more quiet, as I have a ton of other stuff I need to do.

Cheers
