....hang on, let me explain.
It's the Swanage Railway's Grand Steam Gala and Vintage Transport Rally 2011 - lots of trains chuffing up and down the line. Great to see '4492 Dominion of New Zealand in Swanage'...or is it 'Bittern'. So lots of trainspotters/enthusiasts i.e. men with beards and sandals in town.
I've just seen her down at the engine shed and even the missus, who isn't into steam trains, said that it was an impressive engine. (hmmm she knows the difference between and engine and a train - closet trainspotter I reckon). There's even a working timetable - dunno what it is because it all looks like its written in trainspotter code.

The Swanage Folk Festival is also on this weekend across the town. So more men with beards and sandals, this time dancing around and hitting each other with sticks. It's ok they've agreed in advance to hit each other with sticks - as they dance; not randomly hitting people with sticks, that would just be silly.
Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with men with beards or sandals, its just that there will be a lot of them.
