DECORATING BUT SHOP UPDATED AND ALL DVDS READY

We've stripped out the lounge / library of all furnishing, books, records etc and we are ready to decorate. A long hard day for the both of us but it will be refreshing to see a tidy and warm room. We need to divest ourselves of many books which can go for the village fete this summer. We can confirm that we'll be in London for the Victoria coach station event this moth, just the Friday and Saturday but this sees us keeping our promise to devote several trips to updating our London coverage throughout the year. We shall also be down in Devon for the Exeter running day and take the opportunity of getting on update on Devon whilst in that corner of the world. We've trimmed back our Boyle St, Manchester coverage at the spring transport festival to attending just the Saturday possibly in a new location within the museum. I've got all the Indian DVDs ready, the shop is updates and so are the lists on shop front and news page. The trip to Croatia and Bosnia is booked. The planning for Ukraine is still underway and we are looking at other exciting locations for this years tram coverage which will see the Manchester system updated now it has opened the 2nd city crossing line. Germany and Belgium are also likely to feature.

This morning we got the disabled access / parking signs up at St Oswalds as well as a step warning sign - the whole task not helped as the toilet bricks arrived and were plonked in front of the wall, Rodney and his workman managed to sort it all. All the photos from our recent London trip are on our Smugmug site where you can purchase them from 50p a print. I'm about to upload clips from all the Indian DVDs on our Youtube site and download the photos for editing. Then we are going to put our feet up for the evening ready for a hectic Friday and weekend decorating. After that back to filming. It's the big 65 coming up on the 16th but as I'm retired from the day job and hectic in the business it's just the state doshing out the beer money each week which will change. Here are some more photos from India, these are from Kochi in Kerala state.

Putting the signs up at St Oswald's this morning and the bricks!
