What is now our lounge/kitchen was full of poultry (address was Sutton Hall Poultry farm for about 50 years) Previous owners, not me as a lad!

Totally OT as far as garage day goes but...

We sold our house just over a year ago. It was the main farmhouse for what had been a significantly large farm and was built around 1850. We got a call from a 90-odd year old lady who asked (very politely) if she could come to view it even tho she couldn't buy it because her family had worked on the farm in her youth and she and her sister had been born in the house in what was now our kitchen. She came and had a great time!! She was pointing out where all the old walls had been, where the servants lived in the attic and how the layout had all changed. She had ancient black and white photos of the house and grounds and farm. We found out that cows used to be milked in the laundry, that turkeys used to live in part of the front garden and that peacocks used to roam around... sometimes inside! It was a nice afternoon.

And back to cars....

Hi Phil, just to let you know that I will be coming to your garage day. Maybe with Annalisa or my dad.
Cheers Steve

Jim - I've seen your pix of your Strat, so methinks the peacocks are still in residence

Ste - wondering how many it takes to patrol the battlements to keep the car safe inside?? Must be cost-effective in keeping the insurance down in these days of rocketing premiums.... but, the garage day's a great idea. They're always popular - look how many turn up at Phil's and Gordon's, and where they travel from! Choose a date then post on here
