Nothing really to report other than I'm still alive and kicking.
June involved a couple of trips up to Carlisle way to help a friend dismantle and transport the P4 Kings Cross layout down to the Midlands. Other than that nothing train related.
So, what have I been up to? Making the most of the weather and pleasant mornings before work to attack loads of unfinished jobs around the house. They were really starting to annoy me, so all the train toys have gone away to be replaced by the nasty power tool collection.
Lots achieved so far and it's successfully raised spirits.
Currently I'm tackling removing and bricking up and old fire place. It's revealed quite a lot of history about or 1970s house in the process. It was built with coal fires and built in hearths with flowery tiles. In the 80s that was badly sealed up and a cast concrete fireplace surround added for a coal effect gas fire. That was condemned when tested back in 2007.
Currently at the end of the very messy destruction, and will build the wall back up, complete with air brick.
Sorry, unlikely to be trains for a while, but enjoying seeing what others are up to on their threads.

Oh, and lots of gardening to tame the wilderness and lots of going through sorting out 20 years of "stuff" that's accumulated in the house.
Oh and, demolishing a boundary wall that was not far from falling over...
The arisings from which have been saved for hardcore and ath edgings...
So I've been active and busy, just not on the model railway front.
