Crank up and the start of my 30th year

The last weekend of January neatly coincide with a school reunion for Dad, Crank up weekend in Edendale and my birthday so south was the most logical place to be.

The weather wasn't great for Crank up but we went along for a look at all the old tractors.

Sunday was a very windy day and we went for a drive to Maple Glen, a huge garden.



We carried on to Fortrose, on the coast and nearly got blown off the face of the planet.

On the way home we stopped in Mosgiel for fish and chips, great birthday tea.
