Chelford Steam fair 2014 weather was wonderful for a proper Steam Engine show (photographers dream) complete with a range of steam powered agricultural equipment, log splitters and steam powered machine of every kind including steam powered fair ground rides.
The fair is the perfect chance to photograph some of the stunning vehicles lovingly preserved.
I love how the fair is now a long established family affair with all generations joining in the fun, long may it continue.

The Wigan Bandstand
Mesnes Park in the heritage district of Wigan is a beautiful public garden close to the town centre.
It was a sunny day in April so I thought that I would dig out my converted digital camera (Nikon D70) from last year and give it a go. This photograph is of the historic bandstand, I tried to include the wee cyclist in the gap to add a bit of interest.
