Cottage Farm, Grindleford Derbyshire. Fairfax, an unemployed lorry driver, has come up with an idea which will make full use of his driving skills — and add some olde worlde charm to the locale.
He has converted a dog cart into a horsedrawn open carriage which can seat six passengers.
Fairfax's professional debut with the carriage had all the trappings of romance when he took Jamie Skelton and his bride Lynne Wilkinson from their wedding in Bradwell village chapel to the reception at a local hotel, Tourists in the Derbyshire area should head straight to the village of Eyam where they can enjoy the rural delights of this district from within Fairfax's carriage.
Although I have no doubts about his fitness, I assume that he is employing the services of a horse for tractive purposes, and not doing the job himself. I will refrain, with difficulty, from making puns about horsepower rating and exhaust emission.
