Newsletter -- April 19, 2007
ENGLAND HOMECOMING ISSUE
Leaving London on Easter Sunday, homeward bound.
Since last month's newsletter . . . .
. . . . we've been to England and back, on our continuing quest for fresh goods for our American customers. Interestingly, though we saw a few stateside friends, other Americans were in relatively short supply this time. Whether this was because of the Easter holiday, the weakness of the dollar, fear of flying, or sheer coincidence, the English dealers we spoke with were very happy to see us -- and ready to offer very good deals. As a result, we've once again come home with a pile of new stuff -- and a few good stories as well.
This month's newsletter is mostly about our trip: a good story, lots of pictures, and details of our gala weekend in about a week.
Need a small tractor? We're selling the 26 HP Goldoni we bought for our Ashfield project. If you or someone you know is interested in a real tractor at a very affordable price, click here for more information.
Our friend Lisa Freeman informs us that she has just completed the new Vermont ADA website, giving it a sleek, modern appearance and providing easy access to VADA's membership. Click here to visit.

Tales of the Trade
Pippin's Page
Several readers wrote in response to last month's pictures of Pippin. One reader sent the following:
Thank you, thank you for the fabulous pinup pictures of Pippin. He clearly loves his toys! Please do it every month. He wants his own page.... maybe the whole newsletter.
So, for those of you who'll enjoy them, follow this link to Pippin's Page.
