For many children in England and Wales this is the first week of the Summer Holidays. For many lucky children they will be going on holiday with their parents, as a family entity or with others – family, other families. This is an exciting and fun time!
This season OLD BLOKEY offers 3 core activities which can be combined flexibly to create a full day tour. All tours start at Sheffield railway station where OB himself will meet you off a train of your choice. You will then be transported to your chosen activities in the old allotment tractor.

We have got used to a very high military and police presence in Italian cities. At every major historical site, government building and train station there is an array of personnel; at least two types of police officers standing around marked vehicles and, conspicuously toting semi-automatic rifles, regular soldiers positioned around strategically parked armoured land rovers.

I think I may have mentioned that I like docks, large expanses of water, cavernous sheds and warehouses, enormous machines carrying, lifting, pushing and pulling – and of course the focus of all this activity – the loading and un loading of big ships by a multitude of figures so small against everything else. Well it was in the 1950s.
