I did some of Sue's family history updates for her last night and have reached back into the 1500's and picked up very early settlers in the 1600's to what became the USA after their insurgency against Britain. I must make efforts to secure a new garden shed as proposed which will house my model collection, we've talked about it a lot but done nothing other than look on the net but a non wooden garden office is about £30k which you can be assured is out of our budget. It would be long but narrow and perfect for a model railway and layouts to display the collection. I don't want to spend hundreds of hours on it so am planning some museum like displays which give atmosphere but not mega detail everywhere. I've still got lots of bits from my old model layout in the attic but most of the stock was sold off.Now there are plenty of off the shelf EMU Southern sets I had to have kit builds. It would be almost scale if I could have N gauge at 30' long but most stuff I have to display is 1/76 or 1/72 and a few continentals at 1/87 scale. What on earth can I bring you, I thought perhaps covers for a series of DVDs on an area, as I'm working on Merseyside why not there as a theme. These and dozens more on Merseyside are all in our shop on this site post free world wide.
The weather and New Year are seeing Britain grind to a halt once again. Our friend Sue left this morning, we got a great deal for Mandy and Sue who will spend two weeks in Sri Lanka this coming February/March for just under £800 each, a great saving DIY rather than booking through an agent, having been there recently I could attest to the standards of food now enjoyed there plus an all round better road and transport systems which has seen the country leave India, Bangladesh, Pakistan way behind and if not first world certainly second but not third at all. We got a few mundane jobs done first thing, loads of DVD orders had piled in and it took most of the morning to get them all prepared and round to the post. A quick food shop afterwards at Knutsford and then I popped in to St Oswalds and put up the hymn numbers for Sunday and tidied up as everyone has so much going on. My sister Yvonne and brother in law Graham arrive this evening for three nights. I've already started the third of our bus spot ultra series of DVDs on Liverpool which should be finished early next week.
