Many merry travelers met up at Jane Austin’s house for a 30 minute run down to Upham and our second visit to David Kendall’s man cave.
Taking part in this testosterone only trip were: Andy, Nick, Mike H, Cliff (plus grandsons), James, Mike E, Barry, John, Dave and Dad, Steve, Laurence and Graham.
All lined up and ready to go. Behind me was a bunch of excited old ladies. Must have been our collective manliness.The lights at the Caffine and Machine.
