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

Let's not go there! More of a catalist I'd say, as I probably wanted them all along, but was trying to be too sensible.

 

I wonder if they're really arriving before Christmas 🤔

Yes - but without the benefits, I suspect, of free goodies or the occasional brown envelope from gleeful suppliers. Not sure our hobby can sustain that level of influencer!

My draining board this morning told me exactly what kind of artist I was last night.

 

We approached the same destination from a different direction by not being able to get up until about two o'clock.

Given that Christmas ads are on TV and Christmas chocolates are in the shops, isn't it time you put lights on the Christmas tree in the 2nd and 3rd photos?


Oh no! Not the “C” word already…. 🤣

What about the two in the background of the first shot as well?

Funny you should mention that tree as I was thinking of replacing it with something of better quality.

Easy to tell you're a Southern bloke thinking that skinny thing is a Christmas tree.  The GWR had proper Christmas Trees, not scrawny things like that.😇

This is round about the time that the memsahib and I go and hide under the stairs until about the third of January.

Although I don't think that I could top a friend of mine who filled his motorcycle sidecar with supplies, drove into a cave up in the lakes on the 23rd and stayed there for five days.

It might be worth a photo caption contest as due to peer pressure from a member of the Southern Holy Trinity, I've removed the offending tree and started work on putting some brambles down instead.

 

Woodland Scenics poly fiber teased out and soaked in brown acrylic paint , then glued down so far. More anon. Noch leaves and fine turf will be involved.
