WALES
Wet and lousy every summer
Actually, not really. It's been very nice for most of this week in this part of the Principality. Yes, there is a reason that Wales is green but I certainly prefer it like that.
It could be worse.

In all my travels (and I’ve been to a few places over the years) Wales is the only place I ever got heatstroke.
that said, having had it once, you’d tend to avoid repeating the experience.
And it was a very hot day, I was probably 15 or 16, and I was third man on Mountaineer.

Any moment now there'll be 20,000 Cornishmen led by a chap called Trelawney who'll persuade you otherwise. Oggy, Oggy, Oggy. Be afraid.

Morning all.
I can confirm we have had rain overnight, the last vestiges of which are hanging about but nothing that will amount to much.
As an aside, I have reverted back to one's original nom de plume.
I thank you....

Takes me back to the early fifties, my mother was Cornish, we lived in Margate and did the annual trip to Carnsullan Bungalow in Coverack. Its still there, a holiday let i think these days. Originally by train to Victoria, across to Paddington, down to Gwinear Road onto the branch to Helston and then bus to Coverack.
Nanny and grandad, hard working folk, nanna's pasties, junkets, splits and scones and cream from Roskilly's in nearby St Keverne. Grandad used to cycle to work at 3.45am to Dean quarry where he was in charge of the explosives.
They had no running water in their bungalow, it had to be pumped up from the well out the back. Happy days though sun always seem to shine.

Tim, could you provide a pointer on how you created the brickwork here? It looks like the brickies were making it up as they went along, exactly the effect I want to create.

Never mind the brickwork, look at the lovely trackwork........

Hi Richard,
Sorry if this is a bit disappointing, but the goods shed is a Townstreet plastercast kit! It takes enamel paints very well and makes painting a delight, but these are not individually laid or scribed bricks, I'm afraid (I only wish I could do them as well as that!).
