Big job breaks out - all hands to the pump!


Blue sheets everywhere as we try and bed the liners down for the source (beyond a puzzled looking John), the stream and the pond.....



Looking downstream towards the pond.



Meanwhile the Project Manager snoozes the day away.




Before long we have a pond and a fountain playing,


... and a stream flowing.



The source is now in place - our Indian goddess sits and watches over the stream, and the line.

The answer is ...


Fencing for vigorous plants. If you avoid glue, the posts can be adjusted in situ, but take care the whole thing may ping!


Waiting for a train



Stirring stuff


More ideas for these useful things, but can you tell what it is yet?

Welcome to the first post of a new blog -taking advantage of a new camera phone Folking About will be able to post all the news as it happens!

So to kick off here is Driver Henderson trying out a new bogie flat wagon, delivering a Lonicera tree in a giant pot to it's new site on the Ness Graden Railway. This short train is just passing the smallest of our new acers on the left. Billy the cat is along for the ride as usual, but seems to have forsaken the footplate for Henderson's lap!
