A Happy New Year to all Blog followers and Volunteers!
It was certainly a typical January day with steady rain coming from grey skies, and a chilling wind blowing from the north-east. Nervelessness there were 13 of us on site today, trying to work off some of the Christmas over-indulgences.
Some tidying up/preparation was required on the the Signal Box, prior to the scaffolding being raised to the roof level, together with some internal scaffolding being installed. JC , Jim H and Dave H carried this out first thing and we are now awaiting the scaffolders to do their stuff. Over on the driveway another panel of palisade fencing was installed - we are gradually working our way down to the road. Dave B, Vic and Dave H were leading the charge.
Back at the northern end Robin found some shelter for his brick cleaning, sharing the "garage" with the Thwaite dumper.
Some tree felling work was carried out on the banks of the northern cutting. Frankly it got too wet and dangerous under foot to use the chainsaw for any length of time. Brian M and Steve did their best.
Whilst the worst of the rain was coming down we put the world to rights in the mess room and time was taken to do a running repair on Robin's Wrenn Bulleid Pacific - the Golden Arrow had come off and was being glued back on.
Jo was some what rooted to the spot with his camera today, but Wednesday will be a busy day to look forward to.
