Who needs David Attenborough. When we have little Muddle.

 

Welcome to A Life on Little Muddle.

In a series of episodes we’ll follow the trials and tribulations, the comings and goings, the ups and downs, the back and forths, the raisings and lowerings and all the microscopic details of life on this little planet.

Nah, My mate David isn't like that at all...... OH! .... THAT David Attenborough

 

But was the crane discovered by an Industrial Archaeologist? The fossilised bits have been nicely reassembled

Not to be confused with Grus americana, the Whooping Crane......

 

OTOH, if you'd been dragged out of an extended Muddle, perhaps whooping might seem reasonable!

And still the crate stays on the lorry!

Sneaking through the undergrowth a very rare endangered species is on the the move.

Not many have seen this in the wild...quietly we move into the shrubland and there before us is.....

The

Craneusupusliftus

found only in the rarest of places moves serenely on its way

We will follow it on its way but you need to keep quiet and move slowly as it is easily spooked....

 

Oh look there is Toadashuffalas following it

Slower than fairies, slower than witches,

Past the hill and past the ditches,

 

And here is a farm and there is a river:
Each a glimpse and gone for ever!

I can see the John Ahern influence in that pub, particularly in the sketch a few pages back. Little Muddle, a sort of 21st century Madder Valley. I've spent the last three weeks playing catch up from page 1 and thinking more and more that I can do this. No fancy kit built locos, or bespoke track and full length trains etc here, just good scenery, clever use of camera tech and an eye for detail in a space that most of us actually have.

That is pretty much where I came in to RMWeb. Looking for a photo of Shipston on Stour goods shed. The way that this layout is constructed matches my own aims for a layout. This one is an inspiration especially in those moments when you wonder why you are bothering to set yourself such a task.

The pub is looking absolutely great now and for some reason it reminds me of the old thatched houses which had shaped corrugated iron fitted over the thatch and painted red or tarred. There were quite a few around still in the early1980s before property prices went mad.

Don't forget that thatch has incredible insulation properties. If it could be reliably fireproofed and not need replacing regularly it would be the best roof ever.

 

Having grown up in an area with a lot of thatched properties, I've seen quite a few fires. It's also surprising how often you see one having routine repairs and the cruck timbers are charred from a previous fire. 

A lot of the houses dated back three hundred, four hundred or more years. Well, the bottom twelve feet or so did. That's what makes them interesting as structures.

Work back underway on The Unicorn now the decorations and woodwork to the second bedroom are all but done.

Extension roof tiled both sides, ridge added, leadwork finished all missing doors added.

That’s good timing with indoor quaffing and carousing being allowed from tomorrow
