I look forward to visiting soon and seeing the progress in 2012. Well done all!<br />Regarding the pine trees at the Station (which will either be Corsican or Scots Pines - I'm not sure which!) these would, as you know, have been planted when the Station was built in 1904 and was common GWR practice. However, some will have not stood the years well and will undoubtedly need to be felled. I do hope some can remain though as they are a link with the past and a pine tree in good condition should last another 100 years at least.Toddington Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-65471329661870003912011-12-19T15:08:23.930+00:002011-12-19T15:08:23.930+00:00Hi all,

You've come a very long way since inheriting an overgrown, desolate station site.<br /><br />I, like many others, will want to wish you ALL "A Very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year" - you all deserve a break.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing the results of 2012's efforts as well and really do hope to be onsite to lend a hand (finally)!<br /><br />All the very best.......Jim Boylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-3758122360743506692011-12-18T20:01:24.159+00:002011-12-18T20:01:24.159+00:00Hi Howard,
