By way of a 'bump', I can confirm Sheep Lane will be exhibited at the show.

 

 

In addition and subject to space, I may well bring Defaid Bach ( Little Sheep) along as well. DB will be very much under construction and I will only have the scenic section with me as a static exhibit.

 

DB will depict an ex-GWR through station on a branch line 'somewhere in Wales'.......Panniers,wriggly tin and weeds....

 

Here is a view or two of Sheep Lane....

By way of a correction, Defaid Bach has morphed into Defaid Mawr, a glimpse of the NCB.

 

It is still intended that Sheep Lane will be exhibited but there is a very slim chance DM might appear on a very much 'in progress' basis....

Garment(s) in keeping with the country you're visiting ......

Do I need to look out for a hulking 6'0" tall rendition of the one-time Beddgelert station mistress ?

.

See you on the 26th Chris.

Best,

Clearly this will be a nice fleece in honour of my country's long standing Ovine association.
