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

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.

It can get lonely here on my own.
Of a quiet weekend
24th September 2017
One of the effects of having a busy week like last is that this one is comparatively quiet. No loco moves, no major incidents. Nothing of interest – or is there?
Of ramp at the ready
10th September 2017
14901 is still on holiday in Old Oak. It was supposed to be collected on Wednesday, but early on in the week it was apparent that Reids would have to reschedule so what was the last exhibit to arrive at the Open Day looks like being the last to depart.
