Guide Friday CWG 744V is setting off on a 'Discover Leicester' tour. It is a Leyland Atlantean AN68A/1R with Roe bodywork which has been converted to open-top. It was new in conventional closed-top form in 1979 as South Yorkshire PTE 1744, passing to SYT in 1986. Subsequently Guide Friday acquired it, converted it to open-top and later removed the central exit.
If there's one event you must always consider going to then it has to be the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust's Annual Open Weekend in October. It's an extremely well run and family friendly event with around 180 vehicles to see and enjoy. There are two frequent bus routes to sample the buses plus six themed tours involving up to five vehicles on each. The event is very popular with enthusiasts from far and wide attracting many, like myself, from the south of England!
Anyway, here's a selection of my photos from the weekend, including a few I snapped on the Friday before the event. Well done team GVVT, your sterling efforts are appreciated by many!
It was brutally cold today. What makes me proud of myself is that despite of that I went out, got some exercise and took pictures. That is really all that matters.

It's so interesting to go for a wander around open markets in Asia. Here in HCM City, I was rather lucky in Summer 2008 to get this ghost passing in front of my camera but less lucky with my shoes sinking in the mud. Have you noticed the similar positions of the dirty broom and the right arm of the woman under the clear plastic raincoat? This small market was closing and my dirty soul as well. This candid picture reminded me so much of my early childhood in Saigon. www.zixbook.com

A lovely location for a wonderful building. Sadly, like many such structures, this building is no longer in use.
This church has very open policies, open door, open window and open roof
The Piazzetta di San Marco is (strictly speaking) not part of the Square but an adjoining open space connecting the south side of the Piazza to the waterway of the lagoon. The Piazzetta lies between the Doge's Palace on the left and Jacopo Sansovino's Biblioteca (Library) which holds the Biblioteca Marciana on the right.
The two large granite columns carry symbols of the two patron saints of Venice - the first is Saint Theodore, who was the patron of the city before St Mark, holding a spear and with a crocodile to represent the dragon which he was said to have slain. The second column has a creature representing a winged lion — the Lion of Venice which is the symbol of St Mark. This has a long history, probably starting as a winged lion-griffin (a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle) on a monument to the god Sandon at Tarsus in Cilicia (Southern Turkey) about 300 BC. The columns are now thought to have been erected about 1268, when the water was closer and they would have been on the edge of the lagoon, framing the entry to the city from the sea. Gambling was permitted in the space between the columns and this right was said to have been granted as a reward to the man who first raised the columns. Public executions also took place between the columns !!
