Long Live the Queen

In honor of the Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee, the Brit Shop in Lawrence held a street fair yesterday. Hokey but fun.


The affair was of course attended by Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I.  Yes, the numeral is correct.







For me the highlight was a display of vintage British cars.
Austin Healy

An original Austin Mini. One of the most important automobile designs of all time.
MG TC


Two Lotuses. The absolutely impeccable 1961 Lotus Elite to the left was astonishing. These cars were so fragile, that is was hard to believe one in such beautiful and fully functional condition. To the right is a contemporary Lotus Elise.

Enjoyed your visit, and looking forward to your stay on the return journey.

Sorry they were out of Bison yesterday, but the elk burger was pretty good in any case!
