There\u2019s a huge barn\/garage to the left, peeling red paint and triple sliding doors, with a hay loft door open above\u2026and there\u2019s more bikes and old cars and trucks in different stages of repair than I can count at a glance.<\/p>\n

There are more people than I\u2019d expected to see and dead ahead of us is some kind of race track, in a field marked dead centre by a huge flat top boulder the size of a small car.<\/p>\n

Along the right side of the tree line there are numerous tents and cabanas, cars, trucks and trailers and with people milling about. At a glance I see, canvas tarps, and clothes lines, and a couple of fire pits, I smell smoke and bacon fat, all of which make me think of a \u201cgypsy\u201d camp from those bodice rippers\/fantasy books Mike used to say I had a lien towards.<\/p>\n

To the left of the barn\/garage there\u2019s an old red clapboard farm house\u2026more than a little worse for the wear. The garage\/barn is in much better repair. It sits on a little rise, there\u2019s a cement pad like drive up to the huge open sliding doors in front. It too is red, but newer and has what looks to be a brand spanking new red metal roof.<\/p>\n

I can glimpse through the open barn doors to see more tool boxes than you\u2019d usually see at the hardware store, there\u2019s pulley\u2019s hanging from the ceiling, an old fashioned coke a cola machine, and the ever present music.<\/p>\n

To the left and slightly behind the farm house there is a huge old oak tree and I spot some other rather dilapidated old buildings and shacks behind them. Running free everywhere, there\u2019s chickens and the occasional pig\u2026and goats, about 30 small goats noisy goats.<\/p>\n

As BarnYard pulls up in front of the old house a group of people begin to move towards us from all over the \u201cfarm\u201d. BarnYard and Boomer hop out and BarnYard advises as I should \u201cget my arse up and meet people\u201d.<\/span>
