John was in his element yesterday, spending hours in a private museum which is an absolute treasure trove of formula one racing cars, going right back to a 1903 mercedes grand prix car (they were'nt called formula one back then.
I spent about one third of the time there, the rest in the coffee shop! Along with most wives and partners according the to cafe manager. John wished he had son Bruce or mate Ken with him to discuss the races and the technical specifications.
We rounded off our four day stay in this caravan park with a meal at the Shardlow Marina pub. Two huge meals for a tenner, which is great value. They make up by charging a fortune for drinks, which didn't bother us one little bit.
Our photos of Shardlow are now on our photo gallery at http://picasaweb.google.com/JohnMoxon1/ShardlowDerbyshire
Today we set off for Penistone in the foothills of the Peak District, halfway between Sheffield and Barnsley, where John's Moxon ancestors lived for 300-400 years.

Hi John and Margaret
Great photos and glad to hear that the trip continues to delight you both. Sydney is having a bit of a cold spell at night as winter approaches, but the days are beautiful and sunny.
Keep Blogging ! It's great to hear how things are going.
Best wishes Hazel
