Bank holiday weekend traffic

I had planned to post a few pictures from yesterday's vintage tractor rally, however it seems inapropriate as a driver was killed when his tractor left the road at Bollihope Common.

Condolences to his family and to the organisers of this charitable event. A sad end to what should have been a fun day out.

A beautiful country side,
Pity that the rally of old tractors was mourned by an accident!

Oh dear, tractor accidents are quite common here too.
Condolences to the family John. This is a great shot.

sad the tragic occurrence to mar a local celebration...life can produce the worst of outcomes in just the blink of an eye...the moment/view you captured seems much more upbeat..
