They're Back !

 Week Commencing 31st March 2025


Monday

A bright sunny day for those who turned up .

Over on 2 , window and door frames with some of their surrounding brick work have been fitted.


 Whilst the 3 of us were away last week on a Brush Cutter and Strimmer Course , Mike decided to give the pebbles a coat of white masonry paint , Kevin on Wednesday replanted some of our Primroses to fill in the gaps around the outside.


Word must have got out about our dislike for posters  ! 3 appeared when we weren't around , this one at the top of the drive on the fence , 1 over the road on the Caravans fence and 1 opposite the public car park !


Monday was a sort out day for scrap and stuff were not ever going to use. Jo turned up in the flatbed mainly to take a number not used signalling troughs away , also an old weighing scale plus a lot of scrap metal was taken down to the skip at Toddington.


Wednesday

Sunny day again so its the first cut of the season , Young Dave had the task of doing the drive way area .


Whilst his dad Chris removed the weeds from the edges.


Newly painted hose reels were fixed back onto the spear fencing by Ian and Dave


The small garden at the bottom of the drive received attention from Chris .



Kevin was also cutting the grass on platform 1 not with the petrol mower but with a battery trimmer due the number of primroses and daffodils he needed to go around. No such niceties for myself down the drive , I've had the course and I can now use the petrol version !!


A welcome return of the locomotives to Broadway station this week with the running of the Blue Timetable. They included the Bubble car and " P and O "
