It is my birthday, 64th wouldn't you know well despite those youthful looks not bad eh. Anyway tomorrow the forecast looks a tad good in the North West and its been a while since we covered Cumbria and we shall be looking mainly at Stagecoach with some variations with Reays in Carlisle etc. Next week we'll be out on the hunt for trucks again in the run up to Easter. Lets see how the weather goes before making any promises. Work carries on apace at PMP with the 16mm cine films of which 5 more hours has been added to the archive and some great transport interest and particularly nice films of niche subjects including a stone quarry in Rutland which took my fancy. As usual the documentary films scan the world but nearer home is a 1940s wartime feature on fishermen, more naval antics with our navy in wartime probably produced about 1930, some brilliant shots in this. As usual clips for the time being are going on Youtube although as previously mentioned in the blog this part of the activities is on borrowed time. We had a lovely time at Clonter Opera this afternoon with tea and songs from the shows a format that saw a large turnout this time and a time which seems to suit many, the summer opera will also have a matinee and another special in September on a weekend afternoon. We went and looked at curtain material for the landing window, propping samples up against the paintwork etc when we got back from Clonter. Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes and for all the cards received. Tonight a slide show from our visit to Glasgow earlier in the week. Comments are closed.
