  1. the spring time You will return to me when spring time comes around Till the white rose blooms again You must leave me, leave me lonely So goodbye my love till NorthBrit: [Try to remember the kind of September] that brought back memories of Nana Mouskouri 30.04.1971 at Fairfield Hall, Croydon. So here's another Nana song. Apparently, at the time, I was her look-a-like.

  8. The badges. These were fairly easy to make - the usual trick of making a round ball and flattening it into a circle. The easy bit - paint them white. The tricky bit came when I wanted to put it on Madam's left lapel but Sir's right arm was in the way. Half circle, but how without pulling it out of shape? Yes, I tried the scissors. A clean cut way beyond expectation. Wonderful! But, in the end, because I lost! the half badge, Madam now has a whole one. Now the really, really tricky bit - put a number on one, a pennyfarthing logo on the other! Font size 4pt, perhaps? Number #1? #7? Might get away with one of those! Lady #2 has finally identified herself as Number 8, Nadia Rolovsky who was played by Nadia Gray in the episode 'The Chimes of Big Ben' (1967). She is noted for her black top, red trousers and red fedora, with cape of black and gold. There she is, sitting at the back of the bus. The bus looks full but the interesting thing is the figures are 1:76 but the bus is 1:64 - it says so underneath! - and I had trouble fitting in a larger 1:76 figure. As long as it looks OK, eh?. Still a few things to do: sunglasses for Top Hat; a Vote for No.6 placard for the back seat; and varnish the figures. I decided not to try and put numbers or pennyfarthing on the badges. They do not show up on photos that small, not many, anyway. If I find some small enough numbered transfers, I may think again. The ones readily to hand are too big. Now, to think about doing a re-livery of the bus. I have some ideas. Just need the confidence and mojo to do it. The simplest (and quickest!) is to put the pennyfarthing logo over the 'VW' and leave the rest as is or, at least, repaint the 60s bling into plain yellow. What I fancy doing is... paint the lower half white, and the top half with yellow and white stripes, with matching stripes on the seats, in keeping with the Mini Moke. Any thoughts on that? Polly
