I don't recall anyone working on Sunday at Broadway before, but John C has some time constraints at the moment and is keen not to slow progress on the Signal Box. He had a useful work mate in Jo, who also sent me this report and pictures:Hi Bill,
JC and I did ‘half a day’ on the box today, although I couldn't help noticing that John started at 07.30 (!) and, leaving at
14.00, he in fact did most of a whole day. John will email you a short report
separately. On one of the pictures you can see from the colour of the mortar
that 5 rows were laid recently. All round, the reds are up to joist level, with
just a bit of backing up front and back left to do before they can go in.
I made a few mixes and generally backed John up. During an
idle hour, I dug up a few more shards, and can report that I have most of the
constituent parts to a little coffee cup. Just one more bit to go ! Shares in
Superglue manufacturers are rising….
As you can see, the brickwork is now so high that it is
difficult to lay another row, without moving up to the next level of
scaffolding. I counted 32 rows up from the rear damp proof course. Quite an
achievement.
Best regards,
Jo

Any thoughts on commissioning some GWR replica china as a fundraiser?
Brilliant idea, instead of 'return to Paddington' they could say 'return to Toddington' I had to read it twice as I thought that's what it said anyway!
