THRIPLOW Daffodil fair 26 OF MARCH

On the 26/27 of march thriplow had a  Daffodil fair  with over 86 coaches were due over the weekend i went along to have a look to see what rolled up and glanced the Daff's too.
i saw about 35 coach's on the Saturday more were due on the Sunday .

The coach park was down a very narrow road with some tight bends and low trees as seen in photo above this would of been fun for Sullivan's buses what were due to bring a Decker down there also manage to get Woottens  new 60 plate below so all in all a good day
