The 2nd Swap Meeting have been very nice with good time and beautiful Insulators. At Friday afternoon Frantisek arrived by his car with full of Insulators. Miklos welcomed him, I worked till evning. At Friday midnight Fredrik & James arrived by James' car, he picked up Fredrik in Bratislava Airport.
We meet first in my room where the mayor art of my collection is at morning when Jean-Pierre anmd his whife arrived by a big camper truck.
We carried the Insulators onto my field and we have had good time. We talked about the Insulators, we have swapped them and we exchanged information. We have got a small book from Jean-pierre about the Evolution of the Gingerbread Insulators. Some rare and interesting Insulators have popped up: Polish Copper Delta, Brittish purple porcelain, Old porcelain Gingerbreads, Helwets, Blue-Green Gingerbread, Blue-Green Polish blackglass etc.
Frantisek carried some new porcelain supspensions with Chinese and Pakistanian marking. Some American, Australian Insulators have been here too. I have got a French telephone crossarm from Jean-Pierre, some German crossarms from Frantisek. Frantisek have been very happy for his new 120 kV Sediver glass post Insulator. We don't use money! Only swap. Languages: We used the English mostly, I can use the English only, Fredrik, Frantisek and Miklos could use German, Frantisek and Michal has Slavonic languages (Czech, Polish), they can understand each other a little bit.
We had a bean-goulash at Saturday, and meat-disk at Sunday. At Saturday evening we visited my uncle who has a wine cellar at home, we have had some home made wine and cherry wine.. ;-) My town is a wine maker area, we have a harvest festival at September about the wine, and we have a spring festival by the German nationality about the beer :-)
