Will you be painting the footbridge in different shades of grey , as shown in the photos ?

Precision light and dark stone.

Ooh lovely!

It reminds me of the advertisements in the Basset Lowke catalogue of the 1950's ! I have the transfers, but would I be forgiven for putting them on my Hawksworth version in chocolate and cream ?

And thanks 81C for the tip off on the cheap rate Dapol vans.   Three headed my way for the price less than two would usually be.

You'll be saying that Turkey doesn't belong to the Turks if you pursue that line of reasoning.

 

Or worse, that Pembrokeshire doesn't belong to the English either .... I'll get my coat

Don't get me going...
