Even Fewer

Monday 24th May

When Vic arrived there was only one volunteers car in the Station car park. Where is everyone? Gone on holiday or sick leave.

Vic purchased some plants from a farmer, giving the locals a helping hand. So where to put them?

A Pink Phlox in the entrance garden.



A Pink Geranium in the flower pot under the Running in Board.



 









A Sedum Plant in Platform 1 flower bed and Box plants along the edge. Plus Aqualiga in the Picnic Area.


Dave, Brian and Jo took the finished Hayles Abbey Running In Board back to the Halt.





 








On the Footbridge Neal and John S were finishing off the Seal inserting and preparation for painting.























Wednesday saw the Wednesday gang appear , even they were a man down , so still low on the usual numbers .

They carried on with the installation of the gate posts an then carried on with the spear fencing down the slope.




Clive was right behind them on the brush .









Vic who was Station Assistant today got hungry in the afternoon. A cup of tea and a piece of cake in Broadway Station Cafe. Yummee!




 Posts almost ready for the gate !



A photo from Terry showing what was accomplished by the end of the day.


Two trains today , second train of the day was pulled by  " Dinmore Manor "


Friday 28th May

A Memorial Tree was planted today in memory of  Rodney James Stephens husband of Julie who manages the Friends of Broadway Sales Shop.

The tree is a Pyrus Salicifolia Padola.


Also today Saturday 29th Neal had progressed further with the panel boards on the footbridge.


Vic and Dave
