The war years by happypat

The war years

We took a trip to Lytham this morning. We had to tackle the traffic & we thought how stupid are we going on a sunny Saturday when we have all week to visit.
Anyway we arrived & caught this very interesting procession of vintage cars & war vehicles. Lots of dressing up in the 40’s style, it was really atmospheric & we were really glad we had gone.
I took lots of photos so I expect you will see more over the coming days.

Three good things:
1. We had a coffee & a tea cake in the Zest cafe you can see behind the car here.
2. Excellent backing on my part, all the car parks were full & I had to back a long way twice to get out of a full car park.
3. Someone just backed out of one of the free parking spaces so we nipped in!
What a lovely old car. Good that the sun was shining for them.

Excellent find and capture. Awesome driving by backing up twice. Not so easily done sometimes. Thinking maybe of becoming a professional driver now?

This is a splendid photo of this particular car but also the surrounds! The late model car on the other side was a good catch! fav

Love it, a real step back in time moment. Lucky with the parking.

Have you had any more interest in your house sale yet? I wonder if the original potential buyers will come back again if their parents house sells.

Such a delightful event! I have enjoyed your photos of the 40's festival in Lytham. That fabulous car looks to be in mint condition.
