Restoration Day 4...
(Diamond) Dave checks out the stripes!
What do you mean - they’re not straight?
The first cut of 2023. Overgrown to ensure enough grass to mark the occasion. To my mate Dave Fergie & his wife Alison. All the love in the world guys. Here's to the future..and here comes Mother Nature with the confetti
Thieving Squirrel Returns...
Well the allegedly Squirrel proof bird feeder is empty again ! Wonder why ? Two weeks ago we tightened the lid because it was lifting it and decided a pad lock might be in order but check the audacity on this little fella now. Caught him in the act three times whilst washing up tonight. Full marks sunshine, you deserve to live. There must be an engineering solution here that means the birds don’t starve.
Any ideas welcome folks ?...
What a crap season for grass this has been !
Most of 2017 under water and most of 2018 nursing the Sahara desert interspersed with weeds!
Anyway on a positive note, the 2018 the Railhead Treatment works are underway courtesy of DRS and Network Rail. I can hear the two Class 20s on the Autumn Leaf clearance program as I write ! So sit back and re-visit the 2006 Autumn Leaf Clearance program and listen to 2000 horses of 1960s English Electric power still in use today ! and take some time to recall Britain’s Railways when the future was trains that were set to do 150mph; instead of 30 year old Leyland busses on rails...
