The Barn Restaurant & Brewery
Willey, Warwickshire, 1st July 2018
It makes a nice change to have a civilised start time (11:30 AM) for a Sunday meet. It is only 15 miles or so to Willey so I didn’t have to leave until 11 AM fortified by a nice tomato, sausage and egg fry-up.
The weather forecast was predicting thunderstorms, and there was a yellow warning out for rain, but it looked ok, so I decided to risk it.
There were only 25 or so cars there, probably due to the forecast and it being a bank holiday but there was a good selection of cars attending. Standard Triumph was well represented with my Mayflower, 2 Dolomites, a Vitesse, a Gloria, a Standard 10 and a Standard Flying 10.
The predicted thunderstorms not having arrived, I left at about 2 PM having had a good natter with various owners to go home to mow the lawn. The thunder started about 5 PM just as I was putting the mower away.
