21st December 2012 - I have retired today, so hopefully I will finally be able to get on with my layout, provided the Mayans have got it wrong!

OH BAULBLES, Tree keeps falling over. I usually have no trouble in keeping it up.

Whitby Gothic Style...

What is it about hitting 40? Since my birthday, my joints have packed up, I'm getting more colds and "Old man" illnesses..... Uff!

My trusty modelling chair has broken. Depressed.

...saw a don henley sticker on a robin reliant...

Quilted toilet tissue, just what would our ancestors have made of that, I wonder?...

fed up with being ill all the time,have good and bad days!

Chocolate covered sprouts ready for any trick or treater.

Agreed to try to repair an old Hornby tender-drive A4... finally got the thing running, set it to run in on the rolling road, then smoke and sparks from inside the motor! Any suggestions?

had a little too much red last night... :-(

Don't you just love it when you stand back to survey several hours' work from a distance ... then realise your spirit level is obviously completely screwed!

Gamma-Gamma!

How much is a Kalashnikov?

I hate blood tests. Last I checked there was definitely blood in me, and I'm happy for it to remain there.

fencing, isnt that just stabbing?

glue, hairspray, static grass, pot of tea and pink floyd; lets see what happens with this combination

A proud dad monent today as my son spent an age in my garage watching the trains go by and 'helping' to operate the controller and point levers. And he's not even two yet!!

Nadia Comaneci

Finished work until 13th August - hitting the road with car and caravan tomorrow. Devon and Cornwall - beware!

Shiver me timbers, I’ve started a one-man splinter group. Joinery isn’t my forte but armed with a brummy screwdriver and a saw, brute force & ignorance should produce a halfway decent result eventually.

hints and tips for beginners,welcome.
