Our hosts Mike and Wendy own a beautiful property on a sprawling 65 acres. Wendy  is an expert saddler and she gave an interesting talk on how she makes the  saddles. We enjoyed a tour of their private museum as well. Lunch was delicious  salads and sausages accompanied by sweets prepared by the ladies. Friends,  fellowship, cars and food, what a great day!  Thanks to Rob for organising the day and for all who made it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"
