Autumn Tidy Up

 Week Commencing 7th September 2026


Monday

Grass in places has finally appeared , still a bit patchy , but Ron was out with the mower to keep it in check.


I had to take  " Billy  " out for a walk on the drive , needles are dropping regularly now its Autumn .


The wooden trough was getting filled with small trees which have come out of some plastic pots .


A find behind the fuel store, a boundary post got pulled out and put on the bench,  ready to be renovated , a correct date on this one than the one that's been put on the drive.


Hopefully only one session on the back behind platform 1 , little and often.


Wednesday

Back from a gas bottle change and meeting , i found young Dave on the drive doing it the old way .


A tidy up job behind the old office , the Heras fencing which had been stored there when not needed , it had fallen over and made cutting the grass a problem , it was decided to move it elsewhere .


Down to behind the slabs for now , probably ready for the scrap lorry !


Chris carried on etch priming the lamp tops .


Kevin was turning his home made compost heaps .


Ian was giving the boundary post a coat of black paint after a severe rubbing down. Just need to stick it the ground somewhere ( answers on a post card )



Talking of answers on a post card , please caption this , Chris taking a break. !


Locos around today were 2807 and 3850

  3. Bottom of thre drive for the post? The other was given to us by S&T, could I find a home for it?. I put it near the top, to stop the neighbour driving across the grass.
