Thanks Kate & Chris!
This lovely flower basket was delivered to Margaret this morning …
My birthday presents for her are not flowers, and are wrapped and waiting for Monday – which is a (Columbus Day) holiday!
Each year in mid September since I owned a MINI, I have driven up to Stowe for British Invasion (see the 2005 entry on GBMINI.net).
But as well as all the British cars, Stowe is a nice town anyway and it also had an outdoor art exhibition running; so here are some Stowe pics with minimal MINIs …
Once a year, Gloucester closes a section of Rogers Street and stages a downhill race for kids in “fish box” cars; in the months prior there must be many hours of preparation work, because some of these cars are completely home made, beautifully decorated … “it’s not the winning, it’s the taking part” (though I’m not sure the non-winning kids agree!)
