Hi,

The Bird family Christmas was held this last weekend and yesterday was R&R for us!  I have not been idle on the layout just taking apart what has so far been built varnishing it all then assembling, boring!  South Wales is not known for its lack of humidity and though the storage/transport trailer is dry there is a lot of damp so all parts of the layout have to be varnished.

For Christmas our son bought me 20 metres of Velcro to hold the skirt of the layout and daughter is getting me 20 metres of fire retardant material for the skirt through her theatrical connections.  From our eldest granddaughter we had a water colour that she had painted.

The reason for getting Thomas into shape had fun with him.



So a quite tomorrow for us.

May all the members have a Great Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year.

Regards Tony.
