On the spur of the moment yesterday myself, my wife and my daughter decided to go for a cycle ride along the Tarka Trail at Fremington Quay near Barnstaple and having been there on many occassions decided not to bother taking my camera. :bonk:
Anyway, we had a really lovely ride and on the way back stopped at the restaurant for a drink and none other than James May the guy from Top Gear was there.
He was filming for a new show called James May's Big Toy Show, a new series that will air on BBC2 in the Autumn.
With the help of volunteers he was aiming to construct the longest model railway stretching from Barnstaple to Bideford along the old railway line, now the Tarka Trail.
My daughter really wanted his autograph, so I went with her to ask him.
She did of course get shy when face to face so I had to do all the talking but Mr May was extremely nice and polite, he said hello, signed her piece of paper, said goodbye and waved. She did pluck up enough courage to say thank you.
I obviously was kicking myself, I should always remember the old Cub Scout moto of 'Be Prepared'. I won't go without some form of camera again because you never know........ :bang:
