Mucky Knees by onewing

Mucky Knees

Friday 'People' day again and today I am posting a photo taken at Richmond Vale.

I just loved this chap who had a collection of engines on display at the open day.

I thought his knees really showed the little boy in him. He reminded me of the old Cilla Black song "Oh you are a mucky kid, dirty as a dustbin lid."

He was having a lovely time and really enjoyed talking to people about his collection.
Ha ha !! it really put a smile on my face ! Nothing like a man and hiss hobby !!

Rather sweet dirty knees Babs.......you can tell he is an enthusiast! Lovely for a man to have a passion like this!

This made me smile as soon as I saw it Babs, and then I read the Cilla Black reference, so very apt, now I can't get the song out my head, lol:)

These people are quite passionate about their machinery, we have some here who exhibit their engines at local shows, always fascinating to see (and hear)

@sioux @salza @annied Thanks. All the 'boys' were having fun that day and they all looked pretty grubby by the end of it too. ha ha.

@seattlite @mittens Thanks, the muddy knees is all part of the fun I think.
June 20th, 2015  
@vtalbott Thanks Vicki, but people day is just my personal idea. I started putting people photos on here on a Friday when I first started 365 and wondered how long I could continue to find a people shot each week. Well I am into year three now and I am still finding them. You are welcome to join in though.

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. I think the belt had snapped and he was replacing it. Serious business you know playing with engines.
June 20th, 2015  
@happypat Thanks Pat. He was a lovely chap to talk to. They have open days once a month and then a big event like this one every three months or so. Other than that they just restore the steam engines and have fun.
