Dundee awayday

 We were off bright and early...well ok, early....it was still dark at 7am!!

Our Thursday track session brought forward a day after all concerned looked at the weather forecast!!  In the end, after driving through drizzly and cloudy, and before Perth rather windy, we had a lovely time in bright sunshine and a light breeze under blue sky.

It looks like this could be our last time this year, as the weather slides damply through Autumn towards Winter. 

We sold a vintage frame there, saving me time and hassle advertising it,  then headed South over the Tay road bridge , looking for a decent lay-by for lunch.

Picnic lunch was eaten with the entertainment of watching a huge machine lifting potatoes and loading them into one ton tattie boxes...ten on a lorry trailer pulled by a large tractor, and a relay of several tractor and trailers shuttling it to a barn that we had passed half a mile beforehand.

Then on to Fife to make two visits to friends, to chat and drink tea and do business before returning home.

A long day again, but worth it!
