Autumn Days

 Monday 17th October 2022

I missed last Monday due to family duties , so things hadn't got back quite to normal .

Whilst I was away a clock had appeared under the canopy , 

Until it is connected it will only tell the correct time twice a day , but its a fine addition to the Station.

The previous nights wind and rain brought down a far amount of needles and twigs , its a constant battle but Peter Q and Brian were on the Job and eventually Dave were on the case.

Many wheelbarrows headed to the now lit bonfire.

Back down at the northern end of platform 1.

Peter K and Ian were wrestling with the hose wrapping it around a hose holder that Peter had constructed and attached to the fence.

On the opposite side , Neal and Jo had fitted a stop cock onto the pipe feeding the water to said pipe. Jo had the task of burying the pipe out of site in the hard ground.

Elsewhere Ron and Chris had a go at cleaning out the guttering on the car park side.

Mike repainted a few more spear fencing panels.

Whilst Brian was giving the driveway grass a final cut of the season ??

Coming to the end of our running season, there are a few jobs that need to be done whilst no ones around  , mostly repainting of the items that the customers see everyday . one is the Running in board on Platform 1  . the back which needs a serious go at , the weather has done its worse and it needs stripping down and repainting.

Another are our once unique  waste bins most need now freshening up ready again for next year.

Before all that can happen we needed to create a space to do all this, out of the worst of the weather , so over the last couple of weeks Dave and Ian have been having a good old sort out in the portacabin number 2 , we didnt know we had so much stuff where has it all come from !
