GRIMSBY IMMINGHAM AND SCUNTHORPE FILMED TODAY

Three films from the one day with two of them buses, Grimsby and Scunthorpe plus a bonus truck film as the weather was so bright as I passed near Immingham docks so rattled off an hour there. The new office has made slower progress today, the nature of these things is to crawl to a halt almost as it finishes, it was the same in the old day job! Anyway I can now see where the showcases will be , one will be quite shallow about 7 ft tall by 8ft wide with about 10 shelves floor to ceiling. The next section will be about 6" deep and about 4ft wide again floor to ceiling. The remainder will be deeper still and similar dimension so about 17ft of floor to ceiling shelves which at ten per section must work out at 170ft run of shelves on the one side. The much larger showcases opposite sitting atop the tape cabinets will be about two feet deep and about 5ft tall and say 10 ft wide maybe a tad more with about three or four levels allowing diorama type displays, but they need to avoid the new radiator which did get fitted today and is working pumping out heat into Lower Peover as there is neither window nor door, hopefully Thursday and Friday will see the majority if not all work completed.

Today I was up at 5am and across to Grimsby, I noticed that there was no 'rush' hour at all, services seemed similar throughout the first half of the morning, it was sunny and quite warm, at home it had rained overnight and first thing as I left home and rained again during the day. Then I called at Immingham and got a nice selection of trucks filmed and photographed and then on to that great abomination of Scunthorpe which has a collapsed sewer and took hours t gt back to the M62 via back lanes and bridges and would have been quicker routing folk back to the east then rejoining the motorway west. Then the A500 near home which cost many million to build the new section was backed up so much that i spent another hour there, in between all the likely crawls were free flowing but it will always catch you somewhere! Photos start tonight with Imminghham. Tomorrow we'll send out DVD orders received so far this week, hopefully we'll be able to uncover everything. The DVD editing is well underway so a couple of films a day are coming on stream and perhaps to digital downloads on the shop at the weekend but we have a first coat of paint on new room scheduled for Saturday, Sunday Llandudno and Monday bank holiday Truckfest!!
