Too cold to do much outside , so Ian and Kevin rearranged container 1 , throwing out anything not used anymore and paint that had gone off ! , also making room for more garden tools.
Myself headed to the warmth of the Ladies toilets to paint the lids on the refurbished bins.
Coming out of the toilet the door hit the frame ? The top hinge had come apart !! job for Wednesday .
Wednesday
First job fix hinge ! Had to remove hinge to fix it , still cant find the top cap .
4 today and Peter K popped in for a visit
Mike was way down the other end of platform 1 on the spear fencing.
Which meant Ian , Kevin and myself could make a start on the hedge .
The height on the platform side is not the same as the height on the neighbours side. Ian on this side is using the hedge trimmer with an extension . me over on the other side can cut it at less than shoulder height. Many wheel barrows headed to the bonfire area that day and we only did about a tenth of it !
More sad news. The passing away of Richard Green.
Richard worked for Fairview building suppliers , and delivered most of the materials to the station , he also helped with laying of the platform edge slabs and occasionally go on foraging trips with the other volunteers to collect useful stuff for the railway.
Our condolences to his family.
It;s so sad to lose friends and colleagues, many known for numerous years. All we can say to each other is that he or she has gone to a better place and we hope they are looking down on our activities below. I think they all will be well pleased with the work done and ongoing on the station.
