Crane
Water tank path and ladder
Shrubs
A full house this week.
Laurence worked on the crane again. It's getting very close to being finished now and he has started thinking about how the whole thing is going to be mounted 'into' the hillside. Stephen said that he had dug out some old scale bunting and was planning the opening ceremony.
Stephen rubbed down and painted the path laid last week around the back of the water tank. Geoff added a modicum of shrubbery to the rear edge. Stephen and Geoff were both taken by the way the plaster had broken up along the edge of the path. An 'accidental technique' that could come in handy again, some time.
Stephen had made a ladder at home that morning, and once painted and tested in-place, decided that instead of cutting it down, another would be made as they were so nice to make. He even mooted going into production - "a railway can't have too many ladders.....".
Geoff spent his time adding more shrubbery and sea-foam trees. Note the one at the end of the platform as well.

| Wilkinson's hair spray has become the 'adhesive of choice' for shrubs and trees. It holds well and leaves no residue. |
Post-lunch, Laurence got some stock out and had a brief running session, Geoff added a few more shrubs and Stephen started painting some sheep. A very laid-back and enjoyable day.
