Interim update

You're probably wondering why the blog has gone quiet.

A nasty dose of the flu has struck, leaving the blogger at home shivering in bed. No work, no photographs, no blog posts. It's been like this for 8 days now, with not much improvement. It's too early to predict when posting will resume, please be patient. It's a virus, nothing much you can do, it has to run its course.

-------------------------*******----------------------- 



The Pway gang have completed the resleepering and re-ferruling excercise at Greet, and this Saturday will return to the viaduct to start putting the track back. Work will start from the southern end and continue north. Quite a number of the sleepers sold to us as 'hardwood' 15 years ago have severe decay and will be replaced by a small supply we have in stock still.

Normal blog service will be restored as soon as possible.

  1. My sympathies Jo, no fun being ill. I recall being sick a lot when a child - Lucozade was always prescribed; did that make it a lucozade virus? Stay warm and get well soon!

  5. Taff is right about the whisky. But make sure it's a good single malt. I had an unexplained cold virus three or four years ago. I treated it (over a period of a week) with a bottle of 25 year old "The Macallan".

    All symptoms disappeared, Temperature went back to normal. Appetite returned.

    But I kept warm ! You'll need to too. Stay out of the cold, at least for a few weeks. And get well soon.
