Good Morning Everyone.

Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze.

No walk this morning, after a great day out with Liz, Chris brought me home and stayed the the night. Maybe more work in the Train Room.

Yesterday, Liz and me, visited The East Lancashire Railway, https://www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk/ including it's museum and model railway layout,https://www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk/plan-your-day-out/bury-transport-museum/pictures to follow later. Something to eat and a visit to a large local park. Before heading back to Liz and Chris's (who was still at work) for tea, we visited a the "Locoshed", a local model railway shop, all I can say is it a great shop, all scales and gauges. new and secondhand. MMM yes I couldn't keep my wallet in my pocket, I got a second hand Hornby LMS Duchess of Abercorn, without smoke deflectors, I would have liked it in Crimson Lake livery, but I had to settle for maroon. Over all a fantastic day out.Thanks Liz.

A fine sunny day with some light cloud.
weekly shopping this morning, and then see what's what.

Good morning all.

Glad you had a great day out, Maurice.

A busy day playing taxi again.
Last night I 'rescued' family from Great Park, Newcastle because of a bomb scare. Taking them home now.
