salmonpastures

Thank you Mickey,,, Didn't we meet at the Sheffield show in 2009??,,,, not everyone will realise the significance of Hallamshire!!!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of exhibiting Salmon Pastures at the most enjoyable Tonbridge show. During the weekend apart from enduring both the Kent Monsoons and the Valentine's Day Tempest I got trapped in the hotel bar by non other than Alan "Westerner" Davies. Despite supporting Wales and an obsession with anything Swinedon Alan and myself do enjoy making a public exhibition of ourselves and after just a couple of cooling libations he put up a very convincing argument about why I should forget my own Salmon Pastures Blog and flaunt my wares on the RMweb. If for no other reason than to keep the old buffer happy, as I will certainly need his assistance in the future at our next exhibition, then I offer a couple of pics of the layout taken by the man himself last Autumn. I seem to remember he posted some shots of Salmon Pastures on "the old RMweb" in about 2009 which generated some comment, at that time I was living in Huddersfield and he was still in Norfolk but things are a lot easier now as I visit & create havoc on Wencombe one week and he returns the compliment the next week on the pastures!!!!! You'd better be right Mr D or "zer vill be reprizals" SAD and Salmon Pastures

Cooo,,, music to my ears Alan,,, does this mean I can bring Valour or the D9 round [when they are finished!!!] and we can go and release a few airborne rodents or first class parcels. I also seem to remember seeing a photo of a V2 heading south west on a parcels train,,,, you may regret informing me of this sire!!!

Proper carriages Alan,,,, some things are obviously rubbing off!!!

Westerner,,, I think you need new batteries in your box brownie as all the colours have merged in this one,,,, nice picture though and I notice you manage to squeeze your old friend into the distance!!!! SAD

Couldn't agree more,,,, you do the Mr Angry and I'll do the fertilization bit!!! SAD

Alan, It was a real pleasure seeing Wencombe in the flesh this afternoon,,, only one thing surpassed the railway and that was Hildi's luncheon!! Wonderful,,, & there is a lot more happening in North Norfolk than the 12" to 1' scale efforts by all them greasy types at Sheringham!!!! As mentioned I think a lot of people could gain from a quick "Westerner" tutorial on weathering,, me in particular. Again many thanks and everyone at Salmon Pastures looks forward to reciprocating at some point in the near future. SAD
