Don't suppose you'd know the surnname of the old guy in the bottom pic? He's the double of my mate's grandfather lol. Many of his family still into the dogs as well

Not as easy or romantic as that these days though mate never lived in one my self but I could imagine the king of the road cob/horse is no longer welcome in today’s fast moving life style or resting spots for the night would be a nightmare to pull on to I think a far more modern way could be a stealth camper that looks just like a van but kitted out for your own an style in side I’ve seen some pretty smart stealth campers that look normal on the outside but inside have a cool rustic look to them this is something I fancy doing one day when me kids have all left home getting on the road for a bit if I was single I wouldn’t live in a house that’s for sure 

Yes maybe you right ,still b nice few weeks away i spring ,summer be good

The dog is undernourished TonyT? You can tell that from 1 photograph, 1 moment in time dependant on how the dog is standing, breathing and the light. Without seeing it and placing hands on it or seeing it run? Showing lot of rib in the photograph but maybe a bit rashly judgmental based a 1 photograph. Anyway, it's dead now.

People in the recently posted photographs certainly had unique style. There is young chap who appears on Bargain Hunt, one of the antique experts, who seems to have modelled himself on Abaraham Stanely. Thank you for sharing them.
