Of Tunstead playing away
4th November 2018
Not the average week here at the Briddon Country Pile. We've got progress on one project that's been at a standstill for two years though.
Of leaks and dribbles
21st October 2018
Hullo again. Off we go wth the usual mixture of plans that go awry, achievements that may not have been what we first intended but progress all the same.
Of pipes, brackets and buffers
7th October 2018
I thought I'd start with a bit of RS8 that will be, forever, Bristol.
Of keys and the ornamental pond
23rd September 2018
Hullo again.
Of gas oil and hedgehog houses
29th July 2018
Back again? Not so many pictures to show this week - one of those weeks where a lot of things happen but scarcely worth photographing. So best read on..
Of pipe and bellows
15th July 2018
As a narrow-minded, er - narrow gauge fan I would dearly have liked to have been at the Tracks to the Trenches event this weekend, but sadly more normal activities prevailed. Not as dramatic as last week certainly, (phew) but enough to be going on with.
Of seals, bushes and carpenters
10th June 2018
Right, back to normal. Have you seen that first programme on carriage restoration (C4) presented by Peter Snow and Henry Cole? (The latter has his own series 'Shed and Buried' which is frequently on in the afternoons on Travel Channel. Steph used to watch it if she wanted an afternoon snooze - his voice guaranteed to put her in a stupour). But why, given he is a motor-bike afficianado with no rail knowledge, is he co-presenting?
Of sleeping beauty
11th March 2018
A busy week here at the Briddon Country Pile. Let me see what I can tell you of it.
Of weather and cleaner
25th February 2018
I should have known better than to declare that a start was at last made on the Wickham, for despite Jagger's best intentions, family matters took precedence and he has been unable to get back to Darley Dale to capitalise on the start he made.
Of anti-biotics and bus bars
14th January 2018
I decided to give Mr Strawbridge's antics a miss tonight. As a friend commented, he'd watched it last week but with gritted teeth. I knew exactly what he meant and I have no wish to return prematurely to my dentist.
