Cotgrave Show

Setting up today for Cotgrave show. I've just collected a long wheelbase van and put an inordinate amount of diesel into it. Breakfast next then off to Kirton to pick up "Holcome Brook", then back to Newark to pick up "Armathwaite". Then off to Cotgrave to arrive by about 2.30 with a little bit of luck.

Hopefully we've sorted the electrical problem on Parnhams and won't need to double up the B17s again.

Free at last

-- or at least getting cheaper by the day? Finally reached the end of term and early retirement. Next job is to get my strength back and tackle a backlog of UFOs (unfinished objects) on the shelf above the computer. Stocklist is shrinking at the moment- I'm getting rid of a few LNER pacifics and other types so the survivors can all get into the stock boxes.
