Tanks and a Market Day

For my birthday and our Father's Days, Dean bought tickets for the lads, including Euan and Dad, to go to this year's Tank Fest at Bovington Tank Museum. We got to go around the museum and watched live reenactments of tank battles from WWI and WWII as well as demonstrations - driving, not shells - of tanks from the dawn of mechanized warfare all the way to the modern British Army machines.  
The weather stayed dry, we all got a little sunburned, and had a great day out together.






To the side of the main outdoor arena was a field where a First World War trench system had been dug. Reenactors wore period uniforms and had weapons of the era. It was quite eerie in a way.


Meanwhile, the ladies had a shopping day in Langport.







The Langport Vintage Market was a hit.
