Neil Hopcroft

Nils loves the dinosaurs at the zoo.

We went for a walk around the village on a misty winters day.

Nils liked the ribbons.

The picnic area at Home Farm has a number of ride-on tractors for children to play with. (I promise I’m not going to start posting pages and pages of baby pictures)

Nils wanted to take a picture but couldn’t work out why the touchscreen on my camera wasn’t working (mostly because it is not a touchscreen)…so I did the actual pushing of the button, but this is how the show looked to him.

There were more custom cars at the show than I had expected. Me: “What engine have you got in there that needs wheels like that?” Obviously missing the fact I was wearing a Santa Pod t-shirt: “A very big one” On pressing a bit more turns out it was a Chevy small-block stroker.

I took Nils to the Classic and Vintage Car Show at Hedingham Castle, we arrived just as one of the Capris was pulling up the driveway toward the castle to join the rest of the Capri club. Now those engines sound good compared with modern cars.
