Carefully,
Ann! |
Wonderful

games for the adults too. |
Thanks to Paul and Simon for organising the visit to Moulton Mill, which was enjoyed by everyone. Special thanks to Paul for the wonderful photos which give those of us unable to attend a very good reason to visit the mill at our earliest convenience! Paul's photo "The MGs below" [right] gives a bird's eye view of MGs through the decades. Thanks to all at Moulton Mill for their hospitality.

After
numerous days of rain, it was a relief to find so many MGs with their
tops down for an exhilerating drive to the Wishing Well with the sun bright
in the sky! |
It
was great to see a variety of MGs from the earlier decades lined up ready
for Ian [the landlady's partner] to choose "the one he'd most like
to own" . . . |
