There was a lot on this weekend, but Saturday’s weather was not at all clement (heavy showers, interspersed with longer periods of rain). Sunday looked better – so it was toss-a-coin time – coal trains day at Chasewater, or the Amerton gala (with a couple of visitors from Statfold)? It was also the day of the Cosford air show, which seems to ensure cloud and rain at this time of year.

We stayed long enough for a ride and a few photos from the sodden fields beside Amerton brook, before rain began to threaten rather ominously…
