It will brighten up eventually

 Week commencing 16th August 2021


A very dull day greeted the volunteers on Monday its supposed to be summer !

Peter and Dave made there way into the café to finish what they had started last week . A new work top between the front and rear counter by the wall.



Job completed , coffee machine returned to its rightful position for now !

Then it was back to gardening in its various forms


Vic was in the border weeding


Pat with the flymo


Brian and Peter clearing and weeding on the embankment


And Ian wheeling it all back to the Bonfire area.


On the bridge Neal was close to finishing the paneling on the footbridge stairs , we did hang around to see the last one go in , but !


 Wednesday saw that he in fact had finished it and the nails holes had been filled and painted.

Wednesday


Still overcast and murky. but a change by the end of the day

It was PTS ( Personal Track Safety ) examination day , just to make sure we are all aware of the rules and regulations that allow us to work near the track . 


Before his test Peter Q was seen attacking a dead tree behind platform 1


Clive was using up the last of the light stone undercoat on a couple of spear fences.


Dave had finished the new leaflet holder , its ready to be sign written by Alex ,then a coat of varnish if we can decide on a colour !


Dave and Ian did more work on the Dagger boards.

Their was more going on around the station but the pictures failed to come out .

This included Rod, Terry Keith and Paul finishing off the slab around the canopy post, they then went on to the end of the platform to tidy off at the bottom of the ramp.

Locos on the trains today, 


Foremarke Hall


Dinmore Manor



And the big blue diesel , in the sunshine at last !
