Maybe another show to visit on Saturday, but today, just the usual odds and ends.  What better place to start than a Jago Hazzard or two? Or maybe three?  I’d like to model the Morden South Express Dairies depot.  Not … Continue reading

I’m not sure that I like this cold weather.  My modified shoulder seems to ache when it gets cold – I guess I shall have to live with it.  At least the lounge is warm for a quiet read, and … Continue reading
