Slabs arrive

Week commencing 12th July 2021

Monday saw a decent turn out at the station , weather was good , talk about the football was indifferent , and per usual there was plenty to do.

 Vic was in the shade weeding the drive garden.

Pat was high on the platform 2 side.

Peter Q was doing what he has been doing for the last few weeks  , brushing up the endless supply of cones ,weeding,  watering and keeping an eye on his plants.

 Brian was lower down strimming around the sign.

 Pat eventually hit the bottom of the bank and virtually disappeared into the undergrowth.

Elsewhere Dave was marking out the daggerboards reading for cutting.

Wednesday 

The Main job of the day was the arrival of the Slabs from Toddington . The flat bed arrived middish morning with 20 off 3 * 2 paving slabs which had been rescued from the old Garden center . Then it was all available hands to the sack trucks , to put them into storage at the bottom of platform 2.

Three times it went away only to return with another 20 each time , the temperature had climbed and the volunteers grew weary by the end of the day. But a job well done.

Painters were out in force on the spear fencing.

Ray , Mike and Clive out in the sun.

Elsewhere Dave put the repaired clock back in the Cafe (  minute Hand had to be rebuilt and put back on ) Pat carried on in the undergrowth .

Locomotives on duty today were  P and O and Dinmore Manor
