Interests
Making little steam engines, trying to make my first layout (70D) at a very ripe age, Art, Music, my 4 daughters and their offspring, my wife, a deep pool of wisdom and intelligence very scary in a way.
Modern European History, well any history really, travelling by all forms of transport, motor racing and much more I can't talk about.
Oh! reading too, discovered the wonderful optimistic SF books of the late Iain M Banks - if only we could become "The Culture" we have wherewithal - just need to focus!

Move to Buxton in wonderful Derbyshire is complete, well all our stuff is in the house. Some work for Mrs B and me to get some semblance of order. The main problem at the moment seems to be locating something you have seen amoungst the boxes but can't remember where?

Still at least the snow has arrived to greet us!

The model railway room - work to do!

Kind regards

  Thanks to everyone for the welcome! Much appreciated. Mrs B and I are getting things more civilised by the day but it is hard work!
  
  We thought we had cleared out a lot of stuff before the move! How naive!
  
  Sadly the model railway room is low on the priority list!
  
  Kind regards,

  Hi Leander,
  
  I am not a stranger to Derbyshire we lived near Ashbourne. We were cut off without power for three days due to a snow storm followed by deep freeze which took down the power lines. Fed the family hot food cooked over our one open fire - stew was a favourite!
  
  I have long discarded my thermals though so must get some!!
  
  Kind regards,
