Week Commencing 25th September 2023
Previous Saturday saw Pat on his Todd having a go on the drive , 5 wheel barrow loads were dispatched to the Bonfire area.
Monday
After Saturdays and Sundays wind and rain it was surprising that the fire would actually burn, but as the picture below shows it lit first time and weeks of debris were soon aflame.
3 and a half Volunteers today , Myself ( Dave ), Brian ( The boss ) , and Ron with Pat joining us half way through the day .
Not being able to access the car park on Saturday meant that we needed to have a go today , the state of the car park and platform 1 is seen in the pictures below
Dave was on the brushes pulling the needles away from the edges whilst Ron followed behind with Billy vacuuming up the piles.
Just the 3 bag fulls , which kept the fire going !
Pat was on the hedge again , whilst on the opposite side , Brian was gathering up the parts ready for painting, these belong to a new station board going at the bottom of the drive.
Afternoon saw Ron and Dave back on the drive, mopping up what Pat missed .
Billy Goat certainly earned his keep today , hopefully storm Angus which is due on Wednesday wont create too much mess or next week will be another groundhog day !
Wednesday
Just the 2 of us , Pat and myself
Pat seamed to be everywhere , first with the strimmer behind the benches.
Then on the hedge again .
Then on the drive or was he ?
Locomotives on duty today were " Foremarke Hall and Dinmore Manor "
