Asked today to get some 'Old Jamaica Ginger Beer'. I told my son that I couldn't find when we were there the other day. He explained that it's in the 'foreign foods' section - and it was. That seemed at interesting take on foreign as it's made in a factory at Kegworth, Derby. Maybe Tesco know Derby wasn't on the GWR?

Merlin magic! A Spitfire yesterday and the Lanc today and saw that as it turned and dropped for low level run along the course of the river (we have no dams locally😇)

One of the advantages of living within sight of the National Memorial Arboretum is the occasional Spitfire visit. Latest was the Jubilee Weekend when one flew low over my South Derbyshire field walk on its way to buzz it. I heard it before it appeared. Easily identified and unmistakable..that Merlin sound. A couple of weeks later on our way to Edgbaston for that wonderful test match which had thrills sublime,my grandson noticed Fort Dunlop from our New Street bound 170,so I was able to tell him of the Spitfire connection……I was somewhat chuffed. It certainly added to the occasion……grandpa’s 16th birthday present to him.

Lovely short film this afternoon on Channel 81 of a pannier tank hauling an auto trailer arriving at Aston Rowant on the Watlington branch. Same film also included a brief shot of 61163 in lined green lettered 'British Railways' going off shed.

If you were thinking of going to Fawley (Mc Alpine railway) this weekend - don't. The event has been postponed until September due to the weather.

Any body know a good plumber, with solar expertise, in the Thames Valley. I know CHAPS has a good reputation for their work but their T&C are ludicrous and their admin is abysmal (like making appointments which turn put not to exist when you are actually expecting the bloke to do the job). Not a good day!!
