Netley Marsh Steam Rally

Today is the first day of The Netley Marsh Steam Rally. This is an anuual event that takes place just up the road from us. For a couple of days now we have heard the steam engines arriving. Today as I have sat in the gardenI have heard the music and the whistles of the Steam engines and now we can see and hear the fireworks. Besides the Steam Engines there are also a variety of other displays and craft tents. Tonight as we drove back from an evening walk in the forest they were inflating a giant hot air balloon
The weather forecast predicts rain later this weekend. The schools break up this weekend and the busiest weeks for tourism in the forest start. The ground is so dry we hope they will take care not to start any forest fires.
