You’ll definitely relax with that one! Might have a pint of Forty Niner later with a meal.

I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered where the status updates had ended up at. Did they disappear for a while?

It is amazing how the beer is able to pour itself out of the can and into the glass...

I tried Banks Bitter a few months ago and wasn’t so keen on it, but I am very keen on Banks Golden, which has an incredible taste for 3.8%. Sorry to take this conversation down another sharp turning but does anyone know how long draught ale will keep for out of the fridge? When the travel restrictions are lifted I’d quite like to take some draught ale to some friends of ours up in Cheshire, but I don’t know how well it would cope with a long journey.

Chris and Jenny (they’re our wrens who take their names from Prof Chris Whitty and Dr Jenny Harries) were very busy on Friday morning as the young prepared to fledge, and then late morning the fledging occurred. It’s not the best of photos but here’s one of the fledglings.

Hoping to do an All Line Rover in the summer (‘hoping’ being the operative word) but all being well I’m planning to go along the Airedale line on one of the days, and would quite like to stop off at Saltaire Brewery. Just wondered if anyone had been in their tap room before, and if anyone knew how long a walk it was from Shipley station?

The blue tits fledged on Monday, and I saw one of them make their first flight out of the nestbox. They have now moved out of our garden, but the excitement remains with Chris the wren (his surname could alternatively be Packham or Whitty ) and his good lady, who have a nest in the large tree to the right of our garden. Last night, while we were preoccupied with a virtual pub quiz, Chris made his way into our conservatory to have a look round and probably scour for insects. Trouble is that he left us a little present...

A shepherd once told me that it takes five sheep to make a jumper. I didn’t even know they could knit!

Pure Gold tonight - it’s been customary for me to have a Purity beer on Wednesday nights as that’s the night of their Pure Pub Quiz.

I hadn’t seen Mr Bullfinch for a few years, but all of a sudden he made a reappearance yesterday morning. He might be scouting feeding locations. Our blue tits are also extremely busy - last night they were still active at 20:30!
-
Not the best of photos but one of our nestbox guests was helping themselves to breakfast of some peanuts, and then a bullfinch turned up.

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say so. Certainly this lockdown is making me contemplate other layout ideas, such as one based on Chris Nevard’s ‘Brew Street’. It wouldn’t take forever to build and it would also fulfil my ambition of having an exhibition layout.

Stunning work Rob!

Amazing work!

I would just like to say that I am honoured to be showing my work alongside that of so many talented modellers. D1007 'Western Talisman' accelerates under the bridge and around the curve.

So here's a few photos of my roundy roundy. I'll have to upload them in a couple of posts. An LMS 'Royal Scot' and GWR '8750' simmer on shed. A class 20 prepares to depart the goods siding with a short goods train. The P-Way gang take a quick break and speculate whether this EWS hopper will ever be operational again.

Oi!

Did it charge you in the end?

Nah, they’d never travel that far south west.

Thanks Andy, I’ll be out with my camera getting a few shots. Has anyone agreed to not rustle up some bacon sandwiches and tea for the exhibitors?
-
And I’d happily join you all!

Had we been convening in ‘real life’, we could have introduced this as a forfeit for the losing team... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5389747/amp/Do-want-shot-splitting-moment-tip.html

Just a thought, for those members so privileged to live within the realms of SWAG, will they be entered into the group with the initiation ceremony?

For me, having been through it countless times on my way to Dorset, Bath marks the border between decent roads and not-exactly-decent roads. The equivalent of walking across the upstairs landing and then going down the stairs in a bumpy manner.
