By the way, I wouldn't mention this to anyone you meet in Larkhall, as we are all apparently up in arms over the damage it will do to the local beavers, traffic chaos, affordable prices in Bath (whaaat??), noise, pollution, wrecking Larkhall's shops, the dandelions, the cracks in the pavement, yada yada yada. This is a slightly controversial subject for some of us...... 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) After the much needed A46 route around Batheaston yes. Admittedly it could have been done so much better and should have joined the A36 (via a tunnel under the meadows, Avon and railway) at Claverton or thereabouts but planners rarely do joined up anything, let alone thinking 😉 Edited July 13, 2023 by Tim Dubya jibba 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well quite, although not all of us are quite that young.... Here is one Harold Swift, circa 1975, marching in a pageant of some sort towards Larkhall Square, just in front of Victoria Place. Otherwise known as "Skip", he passed away in 2002, having given a lot of his time and energy to the scouting movement. You should have been there the day we went to Bregenz and "lost" Phil Flaherty - oh how the grown ups looked worried(!)

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted July 13, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2023 In other important news, Kim’s kitchen has today received confirmation that scratch built cakes are on their way from both west Cornwall and Durham in the far north east to join those already here from Dorset. Rumours abound that there are cakes currently being baked in Berkshire - I didn’t know there was such a place! Like entry on the door, please bring cash - and an appetite.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2023 Having watched the weather forecast, I've decided to load the car tonight with the layout, trestles and other supporting gubbins. Tomorrow's forecast is rubbish for hereabouts so I don't particularly want to try and load in the rain/high winds/hail/frogs/avalanche coming our way. However, I am able to confirm that the test batch of the Welsh cakes has gone well.......too well......there's none left.........so more tomorrow.
