For Christmas Eve my traditional Christmas truck outing, often at Lymm Poplar services but this time we are over in Liverpool docks, last time I tried at Seaforth they were putting out cones everywhere so I moved on, its hard to see what on earth they were doing other than spoiling my shoot. This time it was just bit of wind noise later in the morning but my powers don't extend to calming the breeze. Anyway the clips are on Youtube this evening and the slide show features a selection of still shots. Meanwhile more work has gone on with the layout/diorama which is progressing nicely but a lot of work still to be done. I did promise that I would be preparing a digital version of our 1990 trip to Bulgaria with the full content not edited down to exclude scenics etc. I am about to start this, I'm also still scanning old cine film and will be getting the covers done for Cannock bus DVD and the two Liverpool truck volumes. Not bad for Christmas but we are having our main xmas meal tomorrow, Boxing day. I took Linda our new neighbour along to midnight mass at St Oswalds, our new incumbent had produced a wonderful service which a first this year with choir , socially spaced and we went out at the end and sang a carol under a crisp starlit Cheshire night. Keith was showing me the fun they had with using incense suffice it to say that despite that and a hundred tea lights the church is still standing. I'm now enjoying a pint of Weetwood amber beer while Mandy is trying a Weetwood gin, both made just down the road at Kelsall which you may recall is normally the location of the countries biggest vintage and classic lorry event. Mandy and myself send our best wishes to our regular readers and viewers both DVD, downloads and trailers on Youtube. We are now moving on to the lest side of the layout and the bus garage where I've found that the London buses are on strike, well set in the 1950-70s it will be an everyday story they were always on strike. The little banners etc are going to be produced as accurately as I can from contemporary illustrations. Life on the little layout goes on though and here is the fallow land in the west awaiting contruction and detailing, I have already progressed beyond this shot Comments are closed.
