The Year 6 class at Blackfell Primary school have been
learning about World War 2. While Lyta is only in year 1, the Head Mistress
found out about my collection ( I may not have been the most subtle in this
area ), and asked if I would bring something along to the school for the Year 6
class. So before work this morning, the school run was made with both Jeeps,
Lynne driving 'Jessie' while I took Lyta in 'Hope'. Lynne then went off to
work while I was left to bring them both home on my own after the talk. Since
we live only 4 minutes walk from the school, driving home and walking back
wasn't a problem. |

While the weather forecast had initially been ok,
Monday morning turned out showery. I had planned to display some gear outside
with the Jeeps, but as the soaking wet tables show in the pictures, this was
less than practical. Instead, I started off taking the gear into the class
room to talk about it, while the class also told me what they had already
learned. It did stop raining after a little while, at which time we all went
outside for pictures with the Jeeps. |

Following a chat
and look at the Jeeps, I then took 'Hope' onto the school field for a blast
around. After a few circuits around the field, I pulled over, and gave their
teacher, Mr Barrass, a ride before then giving him the chance to have a drive
himself. |

Hopefully this can be a regular event, and possibly go for something bigger and warmer in the Summer term.
Many thanks to Blackfell School for the use of the photographs. 'Hope' was covered in wet grass clippings when I got home, so before the Jeeps were put to bed, out came the hose to wash off the gardening I'd done. The total round trip for each Jeep was one mile! |
