Divine intervention or just sheer luck?

Sod's Law.

Horse is on to something, I can tell...

Ooo, send us a slice...

Cholesterol City.

Goodee!

Aunty Vi can have her old box back! ;-)

It got even closer by the end of '68. Unfortunately that was in Cashmore's yard, and the S&D had been closed for over two years by then....

Time for my nerdish side to show through (well actually my lucky side) ;-) Bit of bed time reading last night (to avoid revision) shows 73068 on the up mail! :-)

I was thinking '73087', but it wasn't quite the same scenario... I am old enough and boring enough to appreciate the old nerdish mindset on these matters!.... Well, the loco's acquired screw couplings, pipes and real coal, so she'll be seen on passing through a fictitious S&DJR station soon!

Shouldn't that be 'grown your own wheat' and 'milked your own cows' ?

with my brand new combine harvester!

...that you built yourself...

Looking forward to seeing EW in the flesh at Railex.

If you are undecided whether to weather or not in this weather depends on whether the weathering is dependant on the weather or not. Whether you weather or not I hope that the weather is pleasant. Whether the weather bothers you or not I hope that your weathering goes well..

You have to work faster - everything dries so much faster!

It's always the weather to weather :-)

Not more visitors, struth, well at least they won't be in cars, the Easter break normally gives an indication of what the rest of the summer will be like down in West Cornwall in terms of cars, camper vans etc., and their LACK of understanding how the narrow lanes courtesy road management systems work, let alone parking across or even on one's drive... 2011 looks as if it's going to be the worst yet based on the last two days.

The family Redgate will be heading towards Padstein on Saturday

Well Redgate - 'Gute Fahrt', as they say in Germany!

Power supply provision - do we need to bring our own extension leads ?

Lock up the daughters...Kempenfelt'son his way :-)

Pasties?

No CK - it was a bicycle not a cat......

do you not feel thatif you buy a model locomotive, it should really do exactly what it says on the tin? work properly?

Thank God for Kemilway....

Is Exeter always as exciting?

Did this take place in a public place or did it happen in your living room?

Was it George Bush?

Have you been soldering daffodils as well, then?

It concerns a large patch of daisies, in fact mate. They reproduce like rabbits but each and every one seems to have a preservation order on it! ;-)

Let Daisy sort out her own patch....We blokes gotta stick together....

I think I'll stick to warm water and a facewash, much better for the complexion ;-)

Nah, carbolic soap.

Remember that cartoon "Balls to Picasso"? Two cubes.

Well, I've used my own powders, plus some of those from a Mr Carr, and also some supplied by that nice Mr Tamiya... :-)

Max Factor is good I think you'll find.

Superb stuff isn't it!
