Some shots from today !

I went to this military fair and took some photo's !























I really enjoyed today !
I remember I went 2 years ago. I walked around for half an hour and went home. I was by myself of course. This time I had my camera and it made such a difference. It was fun, somewhere to go. A side note, My Dad is more interested in military history than me yet he should no interest in going. I told him about it. He is really interested in the American civil war yet nothing. When I got home I started telling him about it and he hardly turned away from the ******* television. I just don't get some people because from time to time he says he's 'bored' - it's like the 'enjoyment' part of his brain has been turned off or something. Anyway it was good !

They are great photos Duff . Do you think your Dad is scared of going to things, it may feel safer for him to stay at home and be grumpy?

yes I think your right. I think old people in general get stuck into routines and they tend to do the same things every day. Go for the paper in the morning, go to the shops on a Friday or whatever. My Dad has always been a 'stay at home and watch the Tv' person. I know he doesn't like doing new things. If anything is different he will throw a wobbler ! (sorry non English people - I am getting into English slang ! lol )

He doesn't exactly encourage me to go anywhere. I can't stay in and rot away watching crap on the TV, I like to get out. That thing yesterday was great ! And I don't feel awkward like I used to because of my camera.

Very nice pics. I like that pic of those ladies. I like the middle lady. She looks... the part.

Kinda reminds me of Katy Perry.

Cool pics, the second guy from the left in the first picture looks like he may have had a few drinks.

lol

he was struggling a bit. These ladies on horses came on after that. And the announcer kept saying the word 'fanny' - I thought I was mis -hearing even though there was a few titters from the crowd. When I got home My dad said 'fanny' was the nickname for women soliders in the war ! - You learn something everyday ! lol !

.... He is really interested in the American civil war yet nothing....

This is a British reenactment of some aspect of the American civil war?

yes they are a society that travel the country. They had soldiers from both sides, horses and guns. It was good, loads of smoke and loud bangs !

That is what it was looking like but the one flag had me a little confused. The one that isn't the confederate battle flag.

don't know, maybe it was a mistake. It was definitely a North v South battle !
