G'day Folks Sprouts, the best way to do sprouts, you boil them for about 4 hours, or until they go soft a fall to pieces, then tip them down the loo, 'Flush' to taste. manna PS Rather hot in Booborowie, so hot in fact I burnt my feet when I stood on some bare concrete for more than a few seconds, to day 39 c, tomorrow 42 c.

G'Day Folks

G'day Folks Says the man, with the largest fiddle yard in the Southern Hemisphere ???? manna, Merry Christmas all.

G'day Folks Can do, here in South Australia, going to be 35 c today, but you'd probably get sunburn......... manna

G'Day Folks I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

G'Day Folks

G'day Folks OK, I can do that, easy to drop it a couple of inches. manna

G'Day Folks Wouldn't quite say that, Xmas Day 35c, Boxing Day 35c, Thurs 41c and about the same Friday, so plenty of cold meats and salad. manna

G'Day Folks Not a lot happening, been putting down a floating floor, but there has been a smidgen of advancement on the P1. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and lets hope Hornby come up with the goods in 2019. manna

G'Day Folks Thank you CarriageShed, useful information about the Bus from Hornsey, learn something new every day, and with Katie Boyle, as well, closest to Royalty that ever graced the platforms of Edgware. I've been doing a bit of pottering around Edgware, not a lot, having spent the last four days replacing the kitchen and dining room floors with some new 'Floating floor', Oh my aching back and knees !! Had to get that done before Christmas. otherwise 'blood' could have been spilt............. (Get's Serious now) on the main road behind Edgware station, there is a large building (No idea what it's used for) about four stories high and very wide, seeing that I don't have any room to fit a decent model of it on the layout I bought a large printed building on some sticky backed paper, it came in bit's which allows you to change the layout of the building, I've 'bluetacked' a couple up on a bit of board to see how it looks, so a bit of 'Feed-back' would be appreciated, you won't upset me or my Christmas with a Negative comment, so please feel free to run amok. Bye the way, some of the pics have two parts of the building and some three parts, I have still more if needed. Also a couple of pictures other loco's. Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. manna

G'Day Gents

G'Day Gents You've got me thinking now, I've always fancied the GN version. manna

G'day Gents How many of us have seen loco's that far away, that you just couldn't read what the numbers was, frustrating or what !! manna

G'Day Folks

G'day Folks Stock shelf, it's a whole new layout !! manna

G'Day Folks

G'day Folks December's been good month for Edgware, two new 2-8-0's have arrived, I like this Hatton's super sale, loco's I can afford. First up, a Bachmann, Robinson O4, then a Gresley O2, by Heljan, not as good a quality, but still a O2, and because of the paintless finish, it doesn't come out as good in the pictures. Both will be backdated to LNER, the O2 will receive a GN style cab & tender. manna

G'day Folks Loved Camber Sands as a kid, dad took us there a few times, pity it was always windy, Bl**dy sand got everywhere......... manna

G'day Folks I don't think 'Peanuts' was meant to be 'funny' in the Funny sense, it was more into satire and social awareness, although a dog that think's he's a pilot is quite funny. manna

G'day Folks

G'Day Folks

G'Day Folks I wonder how many books of stamps it cost them to buy the station site from BR ???????? manna

G'Day Folks Fantastic work work going on at 'Clayton'. Merry Christmas to you all. manna.

G'Day Gents Thank you for the, slide show, I often trawl the net looking for information on the Edgware branch, but haven't seen that before, just in case you didn't know the big office block on the site of the station, was the HQ for 'Green Shield Stamps'. I know I said 2018 was the year of the station...........then I forgot, lol, I'll get back to it shortly, it's only bargeboards and chimney's. manna
