A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

Fantasizing about cigar's being rolled on Rob's thigh's, is more than enough to earn you a 25 years to Life in the Iron Bulleid, if not a brief. but terminal turn with the 6 Bulleids

I visited a cigar factory in Cuba last year I can assure you nobody would want thigh rolled cigars from that factory if you had seen what I saw.

According to a survey in today's paper Plymouth is ranked 4th overall for being the stingiest city in the UK. Bristol are 5th. I thought West Country people were the most generous of folk myself.

No worries.

Only 4th, we've been dun, by 3 other tight wads. I blame the Cornish tendencies that seem to be proliferating lately.

I may be able to loan you 10p for about five minutes, provided you sign to say that you've had the money and that you will leave some surety with me in case you default, such as the deeds to your house or an LT Red 7mm Dapol pannier.

[Captain Kernow]

Haven't we all.

Certainly not, I have strode out of there in righteous indignation at the fact that no one was prepared to enter into an erudite discourse on the subject of Art with me.

[Captain Kernow]

I don’t think he should hold a kitten like that, it looks a bit cruel.

That's no kitten. It's a pair of veterinary gloves that he's going to use later, when he slaps Ethelred Finching about the face with them for insulting his painting of a badger. He will then call Finching out for a duel at dawn, high up on the Moor above Ivybridge.

From Horrocksford to Harrow on the Hill, eh, cap’n?

I've been wanting another Grange for a while to even out my Hall collection and an ebay purchase of one of the recent releases albeit in shirtbutton livery was made. I've had the 247 plates for some time, so 6813 Eastbury Grange was born. 6813 was at Newton for quite a long period and I have several photos of her, mainly later, but the Churchward tender is correct for '47.

 

As usual James has done a superb job. More anon.

No but the Hornby green is deeper on these than others, a couple of coats of varnish to seal the new transfers before weathering.

[The Fatadder]

Ahh that explains it, my green Grange is waiting (along with my 2800s and 7200) for a coat of something that actually looks like GW green.

It's a rainy and miserable evening here but there's still plenty of 'sunshine' in the South Hams as 6813 is seen on a stopper.
