Knee pauses play

 Well a lot has been going on over the past two weeks - but nothing directly garden railway related.

A planned knee operation meant we had to cancel our previous commitment to assisting at the Exeter Garden Railway Show, but I’m sure our absence wasn’t that notable.

The operation went ahead and I am now in recovery mode which does restrict me somewhat due to a ‘poorly leg’ and crutches, but hopefully I have prepared accordingly.

Before going off to hospital I reviewed my Planned Maintenance spreadsheet (well, there has to be a spreadsheet) and removed some lineside equipment to the workshop where hopefully I can do some ‘make and mending’ and restore the former glory, without ruining the weathering.

I have also ordered some ‘Binnie’ truck kits. This will give me yet more ‘occupational therapy’ and extend my fleet of quarry trucks.

So, keep doing the physio and hopefully things will greatly improve over the next few weeks.

“R&R” ….!!!!!!
