The fun continues....

Plus ca change...

Always a favourite.

And the horse likes him too...

Here comes Summer.....

and Oscar too.

Her first selfie?

Rain stopped play....

No tree fellers today as the skies have opened, but not in a good way. So back to the layout. 

Now that I know what I am doing (ha!) with the electrics I have had to undo some bits...

But it will all be back together soon. 

When does a hobby become an obsession? Perhaps when you find yourself drilling holes in matchsticks to make fencing......

Still s-logging on

More logs today. 

You can see the trees that have been lopped but there is still a long way to go!

More scary tree felling!

Helping out in Death Alley

Neville the Builder was felling trees in the section of road below his property so I went along to help. The trees all lean at a jaunty angle, alarming when you have to drive under them regularly. 

Neville is the one in the cherry picker!

No work got done...

but an interesting day. This morning I took some items that had sold on EBay (un-used track) to the Post Office and then visited the Llandovery Model Railway Club. I was looking for some guidance over the wiring and found a thriving club with several layouts working in the Llandovery Railway Station buildings. So I will go along on Club nights and see if I like it. Meanwhile I have been put in touch with Len who is a wizard with track wiring apparently. The layout is progressing nicely but I still haven't got the trains running properly. 

Glorious sunset.

The evenings are drawing out and so sunsets are getting better.

More fun and games on the layout. After watching many YouTube videos last night to day I spent the day making walls, hedges, ruins, trees and even gravestones. 

Spring has sprung!

Hooray. Today feels like the first day of spring. But it probably isn't. 

Work continues on the layout...

Wiring...

Painting...

The new train shed, made from a kit, much sturdier. 

And making trees from dried sedum flowers...

Just like the old days....

Today I have been computering. Repairing a PC belonging to Kate's Welsh language teacher...

(Failed power supply) and then helping Dafydd Penyfedw to set up his new iMac. Great fun.

I have been inundated with requests for pictures of the trains in action on the layout. Sadly the layout is still not wired up so action photos are not possible. But stills are....

After the rain comes the frost.

A beautiful but cold morning. 

I brave the cold to fit the new caravan cover, with Kate's assistance. 

Signs of impending Spring.

But no snowdrops yet. 

Today I loaded the car with stuff and too it to the recycling at Llangadog. Not very photogenic. 

But this afternoon I went back to the layout, doing more of the landscaping. Much easier than real landscaping!
