A massive thanks to Mr & Mrs Sams Boy. Another fantastic weekend, well looked after, great company, great beer, basil was verbally abused, I laughed my wottsit off...couldn't ask for any more. Thanks to all, but especially Heather (and Mark, close second).

Mr Compound,

Whilst I am no prude (far from it!) can I suggest that it might be worth considering that kids also read this forum and that some of your posts may not really be appropriate.

Feel free to think what you want of course, and doubtless I will also be a **** but there we are.

Now, back to talking twaddle about steam engines and fig pies please!

Now owned by a dodgy chap up here - he's been walking round with a grin from ear to ear all weekend - wouldn't go home, he had to keep having a play all weekend - he even mangaed to polish it for all of 5 mins before he found an excuse to do something else and get his slaves on the polish.

Probably the same very dodgy guy that ate all the figgy pies

Didn't take him long to set up a new Avatar, or is that an Avellano

Ah - the figgy pies were inedible I understand from a good source.

I did polish the copper top, and did a large amount of polishing prior to the weekend and on Saturday. Anyway - I was acting as a consultant to Basil Enterprises on lashing his roller down in the wee wagon at the time!!

And in answer to the question - yes - we have been very lucky in aquiring Aveling 8401 and my grin is still there. Very happy bunnies up here.

So you should be.
What about the roller now though - consigned to the back of the shed, never to be seen again

See, we got there in the end and importantly, we had some fun along the way . . . .
