Burnham-on-sea Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Snowing here in the Peak District, 9am, slacking a bit . Hope we don't get much more and that it thaws quickly. Glenties loaded and ready to go this afternoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantock Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 A good exhibition. My first time so felt signposting and parking could have been better. I discovered Preston has traffic and a football team. That aside. Good exhibits, particularly the quality core in the centre. Good trade and whilst I bought nothing, the pricing seemed keener than of late. Bred Albin was favourite for the lighting. I looked at Lily Lane operated by grandad and took the 8 year old grandaughter's layout backstory with a pinch of salt. Was put to rights by said young lady later. Still blokes make assumptions. Poor Maggie Gravett having to repeatedly use the "We" word on some visitor not picking up the vibes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
