cycle jumble...at a very interesting place.

In Glamis....
We were up early...at 5am ....aiming to leave at 6....well, 6.30!...
a good clear run with a stop at 100 miles by the roundabout at Broxden just South of Perth.
Onward through Dundee to Glamis and past the village to the clubhouse...
The Pirate is there in the middle (blue and white jacket) and after the table was all set I took the camera for a wander....

 Now what is this, Soub?









 and what do you think this was used for?



 and how old is this? and where from?

There is so much more...bikes, motorbikes, information about locally built cars and bikes, tools......I hope next year's jumble will be here again!!

The society ,amongst other things, do shows at some Highland Games...and at some Highland Games there is grass track cycle racing...so we might see them again...hopefully....

We didn't sell a lot,but we did more than cover our expenses. For the first jumble organized here it was good.  At least we had a good day out in nice weather.
We came home via Coupar Angus to appreciate the countryside better.

Big estates, big fields, big country.  Farms busy ploughing and sowing, fruit plants growing in shelter tunnels, strawberry , rasberry and currant as far as I could guess.
 Snow still on the Glen Shee range towards Ben Lomond, off to our right as we travelled towards Perth.

Then home again to unload and sort, do housework before we ran out of steam, followed by supper in front of the woodburner all warm and cozy, with a bottle of red wine from New Zealand..a special treat as it was on special offer!

A wonderful array of photos. I hope you have responses on some of your old farm implements.

I think the mystery machine is for putting hay into rows ready for baling. I love that big dark machine; no idea what it does, but it looks dangerous.
