The "Pink Ladies" Tractor Run and Barbeque, Thorpe Abbots, Norfolk - 7th July 2013
Started in 2004, the "Pink Ladies" tractor run involves (mostly) vintage tractors trundling around the Norfolk countryside from and back to Thorpe Abbots Airfield. 2004 had 50 tractors taking part whereas 2013's run saw around 160 drive the route, from little grey/pink Fergies up to humungo MB Tracs, the odd giant John Deere and everything in between - all decked out in pink. To celebrate the fact that the run passes by the front of their house, the Mikey P massive hold a barbeque in their garden. Firstly though, Isobel and Fred are off to London to meet up with Jules and Natan from Brussels.

Isobel closes the door of a Mark 3 slam-door coach
The train heads off with the DVT trailing behind
The gang at Mikey P's house
Out on the streets at Thorpe Abbots
Wandering down the road to the village pump
Seats out under the trees
Picnic blankets are set up
Grandad sits on the grass
Mikey P strides down the road
A couple of marshalls in pink high-vis vests
The first pink tractors rumble down the lane
Garland-festooned tractors
A very pink Ferguson TEF-120
A Ford Major
A tractor turn off at the junction
Another tractor is done up with balloons
More tractors pass the phone box
The Boy Phil rocks up on his bike
Rachel and Clare watch the action
Wavy holds a can of beer aloft
We head off back up the road
Mikey-P's garden
Nosher with Harry
Bill does some juggling
Harry - Baby Gabey - peers out of his new ride
Martina, Clare with Harry and The Boy Phil
