on the table were the mixers. Kenwoods, Sunbeams and Hoovers and I was glad that the table held up to the weight, which was considerable. I was on tenter hooks all weekend, waiting for the sound of crashing small appliances. All was OK though...

Hi guys, yes a grand time was had by all, it was a mix of old & new washers, vacs along with small appliances, heres a few I took, thanks to Paul, Jack, Seamus and Al who took many more to see... Mathew, lol I know what you mean, "More Tea Vicar"...What, another slice of cake, Chilli, Cottage Pie, Lemon Drizzle anyone!!! Scott, yes a lot more stuff since your last visit, although it was from Friday to monday it went in a flash!!! Bob, yes there where "Bobloads" everywhere, the guys asked "What is Bobload" we keep hearing about, so I duely told them about you when we first met at the 2001 Minni Wash-In, famous the world over!!! Terry, we needed you here to test out all these marvelous mixers, lots of cake indeed, lemon pound cake, banana bread, coconut wedges, along with biscuits & cookies, of which Alistair had pre-made most of them for delicious afternoon tea, heres a little temptation, Lemon Curd cake with lemon Drizzle icing, Banana Bread Loaf and Golden cookies!!!

Cant believe how few pics I took was so busy doing and enjoying myself, a great bunch of friends and grand company,, which made my weekend, as a few days before we had lost Miss Ella schnitzel who was nearly 15 and had graced all previous Wash-Ins (usually seen weaving in and out of everyone following the food to the table..LOl) it just hit when everyone had gone that was alone in the house for the first time in nearly 15yrs...Weird!!!!

Wash In
Hi Gary, thanks for your kind words, did seem weird not having the schnitzels about!!! Yes those cakes!!!there are more photos which I dont have, Alistair must have been up all week with his Sunbeams, you should have seen the car!!! every inch packed to the rafters!!! The Keymatic had its first outing since the back seal was done, perfect, a little dribble from the door seal on the hot washes but with a roughing up or even new one will be good to go!!!
