Well........ Following on from last Saturday nights party at Lady Farquhars house ( my blog It's Saturday night) the good folk seemed to get on pretty well, especially dancing to Mr.F.B.Slim's music on the two gramophone decks !

On the way home from the party several of them decided to club together and arrange a days swaree by taking the omnibus to the nearby elegant city of BATH.

My man Perk toddled down to the local station and asked for an omnibus to pick up a small party outside the cottage this morning.

True to their word the GWR sent along transport ! Well, I'm not too sure if the ladies in the party were very impressed with what they saw ! Upon enquiring with the motor man who was sent to drive them, they were told that the vehicle had been hastily procured through Messrs. Bodge & Kitt, a local coach building firm.

The vehicle had been sent to them following an agreement with the management at Swindon to re-body and overhaul the chassis. It had lain in the yard for several months, some in boxes I believe and it had been considered for scraping upon receipt.

Very little time had been given to the refurbishment so it was sent out "as is" for use today.

I'm not sure the ladies and gents would come back too clean......... Looks like it might be a dirty weekend for these good folk ?

Well, upon hindsight it may have been more prudent to take the local train.........

I think Perks might have some explaining to do to her Ladyship too, humph !!

Happy modelling everyone, happy modelling.
