Autumn Beckons

 Week commencing 19th August 2024


Two fine days this week with a touch of Autumn in the air 

Platform 2 had seen more bricklaying at the rear of the building .


Wind was blowing in the right direction to have a bonfire , the dry vegetation soon went up.


Ron having some white paint left over from another job ,decided to gave the white lines a freshen up , especially around his own car !


Pat was cutting the grass behind the fence on platform 2 .


Whilst the rest of use completed the small garden under the sign post at the bottom of the drive.


Wednesday 


A healthy turn out of 7 volunteers , plus 2 shady characters , seen watching Bob trying to dig out  another lump of the old station brick work.


And then we find another ! This time its a large bit of concrete fence post with reenforcing wire attached.


Ian with Young Dave's help were tidying up on platform 1 and then took to the drive.






Bob was persevering with another large find in the bank. Bits of slabs etc.


Pat was picking up the ankle twisters ( cones ) from the edge of platform 2.


The sign garden was filled with some more soil and ash  , just need some self looking after perennial shrubs in there to finish it off. 


On the way back from the bottom of the drive another small piece of concrete was seen pocking its head above the greenery , which on further investigation got larger and larger. It was decided to leave it until the next time !


Our Friends from C and M were at the front of the building repairing the cracked Paving slabs .


Locomotives around today were 2807 and  " Foremarke Hall "
